The Huawei Mate X3 is the company’s upcoming foldable smartphone, and its specs have just appeared. The phone will launch tomorrow, so these specifications do come at the very last minute, basically.
Before we get down to it, it’s worth noting that the phone will launch alongside the Huawei P60 series. Those devices will become official in China first. They’ll probably trickle down to more markets, though.
The Huawei Mate X3 specs surface at the last moment, the launch is happening tomorrow
Now, the Huawei Mate X3 will be a powerful phone. Based on the information provided by Digital Chat Station, a well-known tipster, the phone will be fueled by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC. That is no longer Qualcomm’s most powerful SoC, but it’s close enough. Do note that the Mate X3 will be limited to 4G connectivity, though.
The phone will include a 7.8-inch main display with a fullHD resolution, and a 120Hz refresh rate. The second panel will measure 6.45 inches, and it will also be an AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate.
A 50-megapixel main camera (Sony’s IMX766 sensor) will be included on the back. A periscope telephoto camera will also be a part of the package, it seems, and most likely an ultrawide unit too.
It will offer wireless charging & water resistance, unlike its predecessor
The tipster also said that the device will offer IPX8 water resistance, which will be a first for one of Huawei’s foldables. Wireless charging will be supported, which is also something the Mate X2 did not offer.
A 4,800mAh battery was mentioned by the tipster, and the same goes for 66W wired charging. The charging brick will be included in the box, and the device will include 12GB of RAM. We’re not sure if that will be the only model, though.
The phone will probably be made out of metal and glass, though a vegan leather variant is a possibility. It will likely have a similar form factor to its predecessor, as it will be a book-style foldable with a similar size.
