It’s a fact that folding phones are inherently more fragile due to their unique design and construction. Unlike traditional smartphones with rigid frames, folding phones utilize flexible displays and hinges that allow them to fold and unfold. This flexibility introduces additional vulnerability to the device, as the delicate display and intricate mechanisms are subjected to constant bending and stress. The repeated folding and unfolding motion can strain the internal components, such as the display, battery, and connectors, increasing the risk of damage or malfunction. Additionally, the development of durable and flexible materials for these devices remains a significant engineering challenge, further contributing to their fragility. However, it seems that Huawei is looking to overcome this challenge with is latest foldable, the Mate X3.
Consumers witnessed the phone’s internal display enduring the impact of a walnut and a kitchen tool
In a recent promotional video released by the manufacturer, the Mate X3 proved its durability by surviving a series of intense tests. This device not only withstood physical abuse but also emerged as the most popular handset in China during the first quarter of 2023, as announced at the prestigious Huawei Mobile Innovation Technology Media Communication Conference.
The promotional video showcased the Mate X3’s resilience in captivating fashion. Consumers witnessed the phone’s internal display enduring the impact of a walnut and a kitchen tool. The handset was then accidentally knocked off a chair, plummeting to the floor. To add to the suspense, a glass of water toppled over, drenching the fallen foldable. However, the Mate X3, unaffected by this chain of events, was picked up by its owner, who effortlessly folded it closed and utilized the external display to demonstrate that the device remained fully functional.
With an inward folding design, the Huawei Mate X3 boasts a 6.4-inch external OLED display featuring a 1080 x 2504 resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The internal OLED screen measures 7.8 inches and offers a nearly square 2496 x 2224 resolution, also complemented by a 120Hz refresh rate. Powering this phone is the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset.
