As competition in the mobile phone market becomes increasingly fierce, many brands are innovating, including updating and iterating product forms. This is how the "folding screen" mobile phone was born. Huawei, the leading domestic mobile phone company, has also recently launched a folding screen mobile phone, Mate X2. This new form of mobile phone has attracted countless attention, but is it a new phone without changing the medicine, or is it the real thing? Let’s find out.
Mate X2 adopts a double wedge-shaped integrated design, which is truly innovative among all current folding screen mobile phones. After the mobile phone is displayed, the back will show a beveled section with a gradual thickness gradient from right to left. The thinnest part is 4.4mm. In this way, the body will fit more tightly after folding. This technology is by no means simple, it is the essence of Huawei’s flexible screen technology and hinge structure. After more than five years of technical research, Huawei has refined its exclusive double-rotating water drop hinge design, creating a water drop screen space at the fold, solving the problem of body gaps and ensuring minimal screen creases.
The design of Mate X2 also takes into consideration durability, comfort and other details. Mobile phone components basically use carbon fiber and super-strong steel. The strength of super-strong steel reaches 2100MPa to ensure durability. The weight of Mate X2 reaches 295g, but the double wedge-shaped integrated design can balance the hand feel, allowing users to have a better grip and feel more comfortable. The water-drop type screen space will not cause the screen and the shaft to be hollow, which can also prevent dust from entering the body and causing equipment damage.
In terms of screen, Mate X2 adopts a new inward-folding design, and both the inner and outer screens are equipped with flexible OLED full screens. The display ratio of the internal screen 8:7.1 is in line with the best visual effect. The dual screens support a high refresh rate of 90Hz, making sliding the screen very smooth.
Camera: Super Sensing Leica Quad Camera
Camera has always been Huawei’s advantage, and the Mate X2’s camera function is still powerful. Equipped with a brand new super-sensing Leica quad camera, a 50-megapixel super-sensing main camera, a 12-megapixel telephoto lens, an 8-megapixel ultra-telephoto lens, and a 16-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, it can also meet the needs of most photography scenarios. It can achieve 10x optical zoom and up to 100x digital zoom.
Regarding selfies, although Mate X2 has a folding screen, it is also very convenient. Unfold the phone, tap to flip the lens, and then turn the phone over to take a selfie. In terms of color, Mate X2 also meets Huawei's high standards. Users can set their own settings according to their preferences, including Huawei’s most representative and gorgeous style.
Performance: Kirin 9000 support
In terms of core hardware, Huawei Mate X2 is equipped with Kirin 9000 chip, which is consistent with the Mate 40 series. This 5G SoC chip is already an absolute high-end configuration for current smartphones, providing strong support for Mate X2. For example, in terms of games, with such high-end chip support, the game can be played smoothly and without any pressure.
Mate X2 is the first global smart antenna system, which is more advantageous in signal transmission and reception. It can improve the perception of dynamic signals and can easily cope with changes in signal transmission and reception when the phone is folded. Mate X2 supports network frequency bands of major operators, dual-SIM dual standby, and 5G Internet access on the main SIM card.
The only regret is that Mate X2 comes standard with 8GB of memory, which has no advantage compared to high-end mobile phones currently on the market.
As a folding screen product, Mate X2's appearance design reflects Huawei's innovation, and it integrates Huawei's technology products in terms of software and hardware. It will inevitably become a representative folding screen mobile phone.
