In comparison, the Galaxy Z Fold 4 has a 7.6-inch foldable screen and the outer screen is around 6.2 inches.
Young also mentions that the Mate X3 will use UTG (Ultra Thin Glass) for the display, corroborating what Huawei teased recently. The Gizmochina report further states that it is supposedly Kunlun glass, the same high-strength drop-resistant panel used in the Huawei Mate 50 Pro which debuted in 2022. Additionally, the aforementioned displays are expected to feature 2K resolution.
Finally, the Huawei Mate X3 will be the first foldable device from the company to integrate the recently announced satellite communication function. Additionally, we could also see a new Huawei Watch Ultimate alongside the launch of the foldable device next week.
Huawei makes excellent foldable smartphones; unfortunately, its trade ban of the government does not allow them to enter the American market. Huawei devices are also deprived of the Google ecosystem and associated apps for the same reasons.
