Huawei’s smartphone business has tumbled amid the ongoing trade war between the US and China. The recently launched Huawei P30 series also failed to garner sales due to the recent trouble it faced in the US. However, the Chinese electronics maker is not stopping by these hurdles, and they are working on future devices. After several leaks and rumours, Huawei Mate 20 X 5G edition appeared on the 3C Chinese certification agency.
The Huawei Mate 20 X 5G has received a compulsory Certification which hints at the imminent launch in China. Although the 3C certification did not reveal any new detail about the device, however, it poured some light on the already known internals. Some new images of its rear side bearing a 5G logo also appeared along with its rear quad camera module. Unlike two color options on Huawei Mate 20 X, the 5G version is expected to come with a new color scheme.
The 5G support in Huawei Mate 20 X 5G version is facilitated by the Balong 5000 modem chipset which is the world’s first single-core 5G baseband modem. It is capable of achieving 4.6 Gbps download rate in the 6Ghz low-frequency band. The speed improves by 10X to 6.5Gbps if using millimeter wave or high-frequency band. The Kirin 980 chipset based on the 7nm process will bring 5G SA and NSA independent support.
Huawei Mate 20 X 5G carries a 7.2-inch Samsung OLED display with the resolution of 2244 x 1080 pixels. In optics, there will be a triple rear camera module featuring a 40MP primary camera, 20 MP secondary, and another 8MP sensor. There’s a 4200 mAh battery which support 40W SuperCharge 2.0 technology. The Huawei Mate 20 X 5G runs EMUI 9.0 based on Android 9.0 and packs 128GB of inbuilt storage that can be expanded via Nano-Memory Card.
