Huawei Mate X To Arrive With Kirin 990 Chipset and Huawei P30's Cameras

After the South Korean tech giant Samsung had to revoke the Galaxy Fold flagship and re-engineer various things to make the phone more durable, its rival Huawei also delayed the release of the Huawei Mate X. It is expected that this first foldable phone from Huawei will debut in November.

In case you want to know what the Chinese phone maker has changed its foldable device to warrant such a long time passing before the official release, it seems like that the phone did not just have the change in its design like the Galaxy Fold. Instead, the device is expected to be upgraded some of its internals.

Accordingly, the device will be powered by a Kirin 990 chipset under the hood, which is similar to the Huawei Mate 30 series smartphones. In addition, the foldable phone also has a new camera arrangement that looks like the Huawei Mate 20. However, the phone will feature an improved rear camera module, identical to Huawei P30 Pro. Furthermore, the primary sensor of the handset should use RYYB to replace RGB.

In general, with such above improvements, the Huawei Mate X is still worth waiting, so we should stay tuned and look forward to the release of this foldable phone.

To recall, the Mate X flaunts a big 8-inch display with 2,200 x 2,480-pixel resolution and an aspect ratio of 8:7.1 when unfolded. When folded, the handset transforms into a dual-screen phone – one side is a 6.38-inch 25:9 screen and the other is a 6.6-inch display with a 19.5:9 aspect ratio.

The device is packed with 8GB RAM and 512GB internal storage. Additionally, it also has a 7nm Balong 5000 model for 5G connectivity. In terms of software, the handset runs EMUI 9.1.1 based on Android 9.0 Pie at launch. Other connectivity options include NFC, Bluetooth v5.0, USB-C port, Wifi 802.11 b/g/n/ac, and dual-frequency GPS. The phone will have two batteries with a 4,500 mAh capacity and SuperCharge fast charging support.
