Soon after announcing the Huawei Mate X — the brand’s first smartphone to feature a foldable display and 5G connectivity, Huawei announced yet another 5G smartphone, dubbed Huawei Mate 20 X 5G. This is the company’s first non-foldable 5G device.
Recently, China Unicom revealed an image of the smartphone which shows that the appearance of the Huawei’s Mate 20 X 5G version is not much different from the regular version. The only difference is the 5G Logo on the back panel.
While the phone’s exact launch date or pricing information is not yet known, the device’s key specifications have leaked online, which reveals that the smartphone could be quite different from the standard Mate 20 X.
According to the leaked information, the phone will have the same screen size as the Mate 20 X 4G but will come with a smaller battery of 4200 mAh capacity, despite 5G connectivity being a substantial battery drain. However, it is also expected to come with support for 40W Super Charging — a fast charging feature.
Most of the other specs are expected to be the same as the standard model, including a huge 7.2-inch display, coupled with 8 GB of RAM. It will have a triple Leica camera setup on the back and will be powered by Huawei’s flagship Kirin 980 octa-core chipset. It will be equipped with Balong 5000 5G modem, which also powers the recently announced Mate X.

Recently, the retail box of the Huawei Mate 20 X 5G also leaked online through Weibo, which also mentions the 5G connectivity support. As for the availability, we expect the smartphone to be available soon after the launch of Huawei Mate X, which will be in June this year. As for the pricing, it’ll definitely be expansive than the Mate 20 X 4G model.
