Huawei Consumer Business Group recently unveiled the Huawei Mate X, which it claims is the world's fastest 5G foldable phone, at Mobile World Congress 2019 in Barcelona, Spain.
Redefining smartphone design with a foldable form factor, the Mate X features the Falcon Wing Mechanical Hinge, 7nm multi-mode modem chipset Balong 5000, a high-capacity 4500mAh battery supporting the ultra-fast 55W Huawei Supercharge and the brand new Interstellar Blue finish.
When folded, the smartphone has a 6.6-inch screen; when opened, it turns into a slim tablet, only 5.4mm thick, with an 8-inch screen. The new multiform factor revolutionises both productivity and entertainment experiences on a mobile device.
Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei CBG, said the Mate X combines 5G, foldable screen, AI and an all-new mode of interfacing to provide consumers with an unprecedented user experience. The Mate X will be the key for consumers to open the door to 5G smart living.
According to Yu, the expansive viewing area is ideal for both productivity and entertainment, noting that everything from editing documents to reading feels better on a larger screen. Users are able to drag images from their photo gallery to their emails in split-screen mode.
Inside the smartphone's slim body is the latest Leica cameras, supporting the most advanced imaging features to date. The foldable design makes it possible for the camera system to play the role of both front and rear cameras. When folded, the Mate X shows a view finder on both sides, so even the subjects in the frame can contribute to the creative process.
The Mate X's dual SIM feature supports both 4G and 5G.
At the Mobile World Congress 2019, Huawei also launched a series of new products, including the an updated Huawei MateBook X Pro, new mainstream notebook PCs MateBook 13 and MateBook 14, as well as the 5G CPE Pro.
