Under the leadership of Huawei, Chinese companies are expected to break into the premium smartphone space with their foldable offerings, a report from China Business News states. Huawei was actually the first Chinese company to launch a foldable phone in the form of the Mate X, and it now looks like it’s going to refresh the device with a newer iteration this year.
A few companies like Jingyan Technology are reportedly gaining component orders for an upcoming foldable phone from Huawei, which a tipster today has revealed is most likely none other than the Huawei Mate X3. The device will most likely be launched later this year.
The Huawei Mate X2 was launched early last year with an 8-inch 90Hz OLED foldable inner screen and a 6.45-inch 90Hz OLED outer screen. It is powered by the Kirin 9000 5G chip in China and comes with a quad-camera setup, topped by a 50MP snapper. The battery is sized 4,500mAh with support for 55W fast charging.
Another special edition of the phone was then launched later last year called Mate X2 Collector’s Edition, costing a hefty 18,999 Yuan (around $3,000).
The Huawei Mate X3 will most likely sport a form factor very similar to its predecessor but should come with a number of improvements. The OPPO Find N proves that creases can nearly be done away with already, so expect the Mate X3 to pull off something similar.
