The Huawei Mate X8 could offer a larger inner display, a bigger battery, and an upgraded camera system than its predecessor. Tipster Digital Chat Station has shared more details about the upcoming foldable, following the first report in April.
The tipster described it as a “large folding camera” phone, with an expected price of around 10,000 yuan (~ $1495), putting it in the same range as Huawei’s wide foldable.
Huawei Mate X8 Specifications (Rumored)
According to the leak, the Mate X8 will have a 6.5-inch cover display and an 8.15-inch inner screen, both using ultra-thin glass. The current Mate X7 has a 6.49-inch cover display and an 8-inch inner panel, so the changes are relatively small on the outside, with a slightly larger screen when unfolded.
As for the camera, the Mate X8 is tipped to feature a 50MP main lens with a 1/1.28-inch SC595 sensor, a variable aperture, and an RYYB color filter. It will reportedly be paired with a periscope telephoto camera of 50MP.
The Mate X7 already has a 1/1.28-inch RYYB main sensor with a variable aperture, so the new model may build on the existing camera setup rather than introduce a major change in sensor size.
The Mate X8 engineering sample also reportedly packs a battery larger than 6,000mAh, compared to the 5,525mAh battery in the standard Mate X7.
The tipster hasn’t revealed the processor’s name, instead crediting it as a new-generation flagship SoC. An earlier report from July also hinted at a chipset upgrade. The Mate X8 has been appearing in leaks since November last year, although Huawei has yet to confirm any of these details.
Huawei hasn’t confirmed the Mate X8’s specifications, price, or launch date, so the leaked details may still change before the phone becomes official.
