Huawei has announced the launch of the HUAWEI Mate X3, the new foldable smartphone that brings changes compared to the previous version, such as the improvement of the interior and exterior screens, the new generation multidimensional hinge and the image system.
HUAWEI Mate X3 is a foldable smartphone that sets a new standard for how light, thin and reliable a foldable smartphone can be.
Innovative materials: ultralight, ultrathin and ultradurable
With a ultra-light 239g and an astonishing 11.08mm folded / 5.3mm unfolded thickness, this device becomes the world’s thinnest and lightest large-screen foldable smartphone. The rounded body, with four curves and pleasant to the user’s hand, provides a fairly comfortable and soft grip.
To significantly reduce thinness and weight, HUAWEI Mate X3 reconstructs the entire structure of the device by adopting advanced topological structure design and using various self-developed innovative materials.
This weight reduction is thanks to ultralight and strong aluminum and ultralight carbon fiber, unique in the industry. HUAWEI Mate X3 also features the industry’s thinnest Type-C component with integrated structural design and IPX8 water resistance rating, offering unprecedented thinness and durability.
HUAWEI Mate X3 adopts a new generation multi-dimensional hinge that is lightweight, durable, and features stable Flex-Stop for an extraordinary experience. The wing-shaped dual-track rotary axis allows precise and effortless movement.
The hinge is made from aircraft-grade aluminum alloy that is not only ultra-light and ultra-thin, but also extra-durable and long-lasting. The entire unfolding and folding process is optimized with a high precision cam drive system. The Flex-Stop is stable and smooth, and unfolds and folds effortlessly, providing the user with a free, elegant and high-end experience.
impressive big screen, reliable inside and out
The immersive big-screen experience is a significant advantage of foldable-screen phones, and Huawei has used its years of display technology to bring it to the forefront by equipping HUAWEI Mate X3 with the new HUAWEI X-TrueTM technology, allowing users to enjoy of a detailed and accurate display of color and an immersive and authentic visual experience.
HUAWEI Mate X3 is equipped with a 6.4-inch 3D OLED outer screen and a 7.85-inch folding OLED internal screen, with both indoor and outdoor displays supporting ultra-high resolution and a pixel density of 426 PPI, making it the first foldable smartphone to earn two TÜV Rheinland certifications (Colour Accuracy and Color Accuracy Projection).
Image quality is not only smooth and detailed, but also reproduces the world in true colour. For the first time, this device is equipped with a light-sensitive smart display, providing a consistent viewing experience in all environments and maintaining a clear display even in low light.
HUAWEI Mate X3 has obtained Switzerland’s first SGS dual five-star certification, achieving a durable Kunlun Glass outer screen and an impact-resistant folding inner screen.
The outer screen is equipped with ultra reliable Kunlun Glass, which is 10 times more resistant to falls. The inner screen adopts a completely new screen structure, using the first fluid (non-Newtonian) impact resistant materials to provide variable resistance based on force. The folding inner screen is up to 4 times more impact resistant, providing long-lasting protection for everyday use.
Inspired by the portholes of space stations, the rear camera layout of the HUAWEI Mate X3 features a futuristic space-age porthole design.
HUAWEI Mate X3’s rear camera arrangement is handcrafted with a custom diamond blade, a process that takes 29 steps and 12 hours, with exquisite contrast between its satin and polished surfaces, creating a sense of light that brings together a distinctive approach.
In addition, the anti-fingerprint Crystal Feather-Sand with a microcrystalline structure is prepared to amaze the eyes and soften your skin with each touch. On this occasion, HUAWEI Mate X3 is available in the black Feather-Sand Glass version and in the dark green vegan leather version.
Maximum performance: optimized connectivity and autonomy
To optimize connectivity in environments such as subways or garages and increasingly complex usage scenarios, HUAWEI Mate X3 introduces enhanced communication technology, ensuring smooth and high-quality signal strength for users.
The wraparound antenna design effectively increases signal strength when the smartphone is unfolded, while the smart dual-mode setting improves signal strength when the smartphone is folded. In addition, the device comes equipped with Huawei’s patented Dual-Connection Signal Enhancement system to improve signal strength. The result is a slim device with excellent connectivity.
HUAWEI Mate X3 has a built-in battery of 4,800mAh large and supports 66W wired HUAWEI SuperCharge, 50W wireless HUAWEI SuperCharge, 7.5W wireless reverse charging, which easily meets the needs of daily use.
HUAWEI Mate X3 is also equipped with the cross-hinge graphene cooling system for greater heat dissipation. The 1800 W/mK high thermal conductivity graphene layer helps the phone stay cool, even under heavy use.
Full image capability: periscope telephoto camera, faster shooting
HUAWEI MATE X3 sets a new standard in imaging with Ultra Vision XMAGE technology to meet the needs of photography in all scenarios.
The smartphone is equipped with a 50 MP Ultra Vision Main Camera, a 13 MP Ultra Wide Angle Camera and a 12 MP Periscopic Telephoto Camera, It supports 5x optical zoom.
The periscope telephoto lens supports a maximum 5x optical zoom and 50x digital zoom, and can capture details in distant scenes that would be lost to the naked eye. In addition, the HUAWEI Mate X3’s main and telephoto cameras come with a RYYB sensor, which captures 40% more light to produce vivid images, even in dimly lit environments.
HUAWEI Mate X3 speeds up the photographic process by helping users capture the beauty of fleeting moments. Whether it’s focus, shutter speed or photo generation, the entire process from capturing a shot to viewing it is sped up, ensuring no moment passes you by.
The camera is equipped with the new texture engine of the XD Fusion Pro, which manages to accurately reproduce the details of objects in collaboration with the AI learning algorithm. The Spot Blur algorithm achieves DSLR-level blur that softens the background naturally, so your subject stands out against its surroundings.
