Earlier this week, during the Mobile World Congress (MWC 2019), China-based Huawei announced the Huawei Mate X — the brand’s first smartphone to feature a foldable display and 5G connectivity. However, it’s not a viable option for many, especially given the price tag of €2,299.
Thus, the company has also announced yet another 5G smartphone — Huawei Mate 20 X, which will be the company’s first non-foldable smartphone to come with 5G connectivity support.
Apart from the announcement of this upcoming smartphone, Huawei has not revealed any further details including the pricing and availability. Since its a part of Huawei’s flagship Mate 20 lineup, it dons similar specifications.
The Huawei Mate 20 X will be powered by the company’s own Kirin 980 octa-core processor, equipped with Balong 5000 5G modem — the same configuration that powers the recently announced Mate X. Huawei claims that the Balong 5000 is the first of its kind to support both standalone (SA) and non-standalone (NSA) network architectures for 5G.
The device packs 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage, with support for storage expansion up to 256GB using a microSD card. In the camera department, it comes with a triple camera setup, consisting of 40MP + 20MP + 8MP sensors along with an LED flash. On the front side, it comes with a 20MP snapper for taking selfies and video calling.
It features a 7.2-inch HDR Full HD+ display with 2244 x 1080 pixels screen resolution and comes equipped with Huawei M Pen. The phone also comes with Vapor Chamber and Graphene Film cooling, dual speakers with Dolby Atmos, and IP53-rating. It run Android Pie-based EMUI custom interface and is powered by a 5,000mAh battery with support for SuperCharge fast charging technology.
