From PC Mag: Chinese manufacturer Huawei has announced a version of its Mate X foldable smartphone - the Mate Xs - will be moving from China to a global market.
Between the original Mate X and the Mate Xs, Huawei has reportedly made the 8-inch folding display more robust with layers of polymer above and below the OLED display, which should hopefully avoid the same pitfalls faced by the Samsung Galaxy Fold and the Motorola Razr. Huawei says it has improved the hinge mechanism, too. Much like the original, the Mate Xs has a 6.6-inch screen on the front when folded, with a 6.38-inch screen on the back.
There’s a new cooling system inside, which reaches across the device in order to account for the fold, as well as the Kirin 990 5G chipset that was launched last year and is currently used in the company’s flagship Mate 30 Pro. There are two batteries, with a combined power of 4,500mAh, paired with a 55W USB-C charger in the box.
With regards to the camera, the Mate Xs uses a combination 40MP main camera lens, a 16MP wide-angle lens, an 8MP telephoto lens with a 30x digital zoom, and a time-of-flight sensor. As this is a foldable device with a screen on the back, that camera array also works as a front-facing camera.
