Huawei launched its first foldable back in 2019 and is now ready to unveil its fourth generation of foldable display smartphones with the Huawei Mate X3 on March 23. The handset will share the stage with the flagship Huawei P60 series as well as several other products. Huawei has been close-lipped about the upcoming foldable but an industry expert recently revealed a few of its display specifications. Here are the details.
According to Ross Young, the CEO of Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC), Huawei’s upcoming foldable, the Mate X3, will feature a display of 7.85 inches, which is 0.15 inches smaller than its predecessor, the Mate X2. However, the diagonal size of the outer cover display will remain unchanged at 6.45 inches.
Furthermore, Young revealed that the Mate X3 will be the first Huawei smartphone to incorporate Ultra Thin Glass (UTG) technology. It is touted to offer better durability and scratch resistance compared to the plastic-based foldable displays that are currently used in many foldable smartphones out there. The Mate X3’s foldable screens are reported to be produced by China’s BOE.
Previously, it has been reported that the smartphone will offer a 2K resolution and feature the aging Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC under the hood. However, the device will likely be using a 4G version of the chipset as Huawei has been barred from using 5G technology. It could pack a 4,800mAh battery with 66W fast charging support.
The rear camera module of the device will likely be led by a 50MP Sony IMX766 camera, assisted by a Sony IMX688 ultra-wide lens, and an IMX351 periscope zoom camera. Huawei Mate X3 will run the company’s own HarmonyOS 3 software out of the box.
