Right after HUAWEI announced their new Mate Xs foldable smartphone, we had exclusive access to a few of these new foldable devices… for a short time.
Here is EVERYTHING you need to know about the HUAWEI Mate Xs, including our video preview, and two official HUAWEI promo videos!
HUAWEI Mate Xs : Improved HUAWEI Mate X!
The HUAWEI Mate Xs is basically an improved version of their first foldable smartphone, the HUAWEI Mate X.
It features the same design, with an external 8-inch foldable display, and a Leica quad-camera system. But there have been some changes internally.
New 5G Mobile Platform
Instead of pairing the Kirin 980 mobile SoC with the Balong 5000 5G chip, the HUAWEI Mate Xs uses the new Kirin 990 5G mobile SoC.
This not only reduces the amount of power used, the Kirin 990 5G also offers better CPU and NPU performance.
Improved Cooling
Keeping the Kirin 990 5G cool is a new flexible bionic graphite cooling system that folds with the display, and dissipates heat through both sections.
Improved Falcon Wing Mechanism
While it uses the same foldable design and foldable OLED display, the Falcon Wing mechanism has been improved somewhat.
