Last week, Huawei quietly released the Mate 60 and the Mate 60 Pro in China. An HiSilicon Kirin 9000s chip powers these 5G-enabled devices.
As per rumors and leaks, more products from the company will use this new chip. Recently, we learned one of them will be a premium tablet.
Earlier today, a tipster revealed that the company’s next foldable will also house this chipset. He also disclosed the name of the phone and its memory configuration.
The Huawei Mate X3 is currently the latest foldable smartphone from Huawei. According to a leaker, this device will be succeeded by the Huawei Mate X5 by skipping the X4 moniker.
Chinese brands are known to omit the number ‘4’ in the name of their products as it is considered a bad omen. But Huawei does not follow this norm. If this leak is to be believed, it would be a first for the company.
The tipster says that the Huawei Mate X5 will arrive in standard and collector’s edition. They will be offered in the following memory configurations.
- Huawei Mate X5 (5 Colors)
- 12GB + 256GB
- 12GB + 512GB
- 16GB + 512GB
- Huawei Mate X5 Collector’s Edition (4 Colors)
- 16GB + 512GB
- 16GB + 1TB
Another leaker reveals that the device will be available in black, white, blue, gold, and purple color options.
Unfortunately, none of them mention when the phone will be unveiled. Since the Mate X3 was just launched earlier this year, its successor might arrive at the end of 2023 or early 2024.
However, Huawei is mysterious regarding the smartphones powered by its new Kirin 9000s SoC. So we wouldn’t be surprised if the Mate X5 goes official in the next few weeks.
