Huawei Mate X3 expected to launch with ultra-thin glass; Leaked display specs

Huawei Mate X3 would soon be available with next-generation satellite connectivity, allowing users to send and receive short messages through a direct satellite network. Reports also claim that this smartphone will support sending voice messages which is a significant improvement over previous apps of the feature. The Mate X3 model, which was to succeed the Mate X2, was previously scheduled to launch in 2022, but for unknown reasons the launch was delayed. Now, a new leak has hinted at some of the main specs of the foldable smartphone.

According to a Tweeter by Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC) CEO Ross Young, the Huawei Mate X3 will feature a 7.85-inch foldable display and a 6.45-inch cover display. The tweet also suggests that the phone will have an LTPO OLED display. Huawei’s alleged device is said to be the company’s first phone to use Ultra Thin Glass.

The company has confirmed that the Huawei Mate X3 device will launch on March 23 in China at 2:30 p.m. local time (12:00 p.m. IST), possibly alongside the Huawei P60 series. A previous report suggested that the model will be launched before the company launches its P60 series of smartphones, which includes a base variant Huawei P60 and Huawei P60 Pro.

The Huawei Mate X3 smartphone was spotted with the model number PAL-AL00 on the 3C certification site. The foldable device is expected to have a 4,500mAh battery and a PWM (pulse width modulation) display with an ultra-thin glass display from BOE Display. The phone is also expected to run HarmonyOS 2.0.1. The Huawei Mate X3 is said to be powered by a Kirin 9000 4G SoC, according to the alleged 3C listing.

The Huawei Mate X3 should be an improvement over the Huawei Mate X2. The latter was released in China in February 2021 for CNY 17,999 (about Rs. 2.01 lakh) for the 8GB RAM + 256GB storage variant.
