Huawei’s Mate X allegedly scheduled to release sometime within this month, but somebody got a bit impatient. A listing for the Huawei Mate X went up on Taobao Mall earlier today for the price of 24999 yuan ($3610). Quite a bit more than the already staggering standard price of $2600. We have no idea how legitimate this listing is, though we doubt it’s real.

The Huawei Mate X was recently listed on the company’s official online store which indicated that it may go on sale in China soon. When the company had announced its 5G roadmap at the Huawei Global Analyst Conference in April, it had stated that the Mate X will be debuting in China in June.

Yesterday, the Huawei Mate 20 X 5G edition was spotted on the database of the 3C authority of China. It indicated that it may release in the Chinese market soon. After that, the Huawei Mate X TAH-AN00 also gained approval from the 3C body. All this points towards the Chinese firm launching the 5G enabled Mate X foldable phone in China fairly soon.

The Huawei Mate X comes with folded cover display of 6.6 inches. The AMOLED screen offers 19.5:9 aspect ratio and full HD+ resolution of 1148 x 2480 pixels. When unfolded, the Mate X gives access to an 8-inch outer OLED display that supports a resolution of 2200 x 2480 pixels. It comes running Android Pie with EmUI out of the box, but that could change soon.

The Kirin 980 chipset of the Mate X is paired with 8GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage. You also get an extra microSD card slot, which is nice. The Leica engineered quad camera setup features a 40MP main sensor with an f/1.8 aperture, an 8MPtelephoto lens with f/2.4 aperture, a 16MP ultrawide lens with f/2.2 aperture and a ToF 3D camera. The Mate X comes with a side-mounted fingerprint reader. Its packed with 4,500mAh battery that supports 55W rapid charging through USB-C.
