Huawei Mate X3 Review: A Foldable Phone with Unprecedented Slimness and Lightness

Two years have passed since the release of Huawei Mate X2. Today, we take a closer look at the latest iteration in the series, the Mate X3. With significant improvements in design, weight, and size, this foldable device challenges the competition to a new level.

Design and Appearance

The Mate X3 boasts a refreshed design, differentiating it from its predecessor. The folding screen hinge now allows for smooth hovering at any angle, enhancing the device’s usability and convenience. The rear camera module features design elements reminiscent of the Mate digital series, adding a touch of familiarity to the device.

The side of the Mate X3 is adorned with a silver finish, and brushed metal seamlessly integrates into the back cover. Huawei’s official statement describes the lens module as a “hanging window,” showcasing the company’s commitment to innovation and aesthetics.
