Huawei Mate X2 review By OtomoRide

Huawei Mate x2 review, but before we start, please support us by pressing the like and subscribe buttons so that we can continue to provide the latest information about gadgets and technology also turn on the bell button to get the latest updates. Your support means a lot to us. Thank you is now officially on its third generation of foldable display phones with the mate x2 we've seen major technological strides with these products. Since the original mate x came out in 2019. , the mate x2 in particular marks a whole new take on foldable for the Chinese giant, a move away from the outward folding design on the mate x and mat axes, and onto an inward folding paradigm, much like what Samsung pioneered with its fold line. Well, if the inward fold is the form factor, consumers prefer now that we've seen the industry settle on this common design.

We'll also probably see the tech mature faster and become more affordable in the process. Unfortunately, the mate x2 is not the foldable for the masses that many of us desire. Instead, it is still very much a halo device meant to impress and showcase more than anything else. In fact, it might just be even more unattainable than its predecessors seeing how it is currently only sold in China with no official intention of expanding availability and that the still ongoing U. S.

sanctions mean no Google Play Services and severely hand capped, chipset, manufacturing capabilities, and this is all before we even start to consider the mate x2s a watering price tag of around 2 300 euros. We felt like these are important points to make before we start drooling over the mate x2's exquisite hardware. The mate x2 is an amazing device and here's a quick recap of its main specs Hawaii made x2 specs at a glance body 161.8 by 145.8 by eight two millimeters 295 grams glass front glass, back aluminum frame display, 8.00, inches foldable, OLED, 90, hertz 2200 by 2480px resolution 10.15 to 9 aspect ratios; 413p cover display, 6.45, inches OLED, 90, hertz 1160 by 2700 pixels, 456, p, chipset, current 9005 g 5, nanometers outscore, 1x3, 13, gigahertz, cortex, a77 and 3x2 54 gigahertz, cortex, a77 and 4 by 2.05, GHC, cortex, a55, Mali, g78, mp24 memory, 256 gigabytes, 8, gigabytes, ram, 512, gigabytes, 8, gigabytes, ram, UFS, 3. x, nm, NATO memory up to 256 gigabytes uses shared sim slot, OS software android 10, emu, 11; no, Google Play Services, rear camera, wide main 50; mp, f, 1.9, 23 millimeters, one 1.28, 1.22, micrometers, omnidirectional path, laser AF, was, telephoto, 12mp, f, 2.4, 70, millimeters, faff, was, 3x optical zoom, telephoto, 8mp, f, 4.4, 240, millimeters, was, 10x optical zoom, ultra-wide angle, 16, mp, f, 2.2, 17, millimeters, AF, front camera; 16, mp, f, 2.2, wide video capture, rear camera, 4k at 30, 60, fps 1080p at 30 60 fps, gyro ice front camera 1080p at 30fps battery 4500mah, fast charging, 55 watts, Huawei, supercharge, miscellaneous, fingerprint reader side mounted NFC infrared port, as we already established. The phone we have for review today is a showcase device with limited availability and a ludicrous price tag.

An extra word of warning our device is also running a Chinese ROM. Of course, none of this is any reason not to explore its next-gen hardware design and features unboxing the Huawei Mate x2 ships in a pretty huge and rather fancy box. It is thick all around and has a soft touch finish when open the magnetic flap at the top reveals the unfolded, mate x2 and its impressive, massive and uninterrupted internal display. All the foldable display phones. We have seen ship in an unfolded state which justifies the bigger box size.

Huawei did not skimp on the accessory package either you get a case in the box or, more accurately, a back cover for lack of a better term complete with a fancy magnetic kickstand and a leather finish, while having any level of extra protection is better than nothing. We can't help but recall Samsung's official cases for the fold line which do include at least some sort of tiny bumper for the other half of the phone, also the official mate x's case. For that matter. We kind of wish this was the case with the mate x2 as well. The box also contains a pair of white type c wired earbuds in the box.

They have a microphone for calls as well on the same inline control buttons. Beyond that, nothing too fancy they sound decent and the buds apple-like shape generally provides a lot of comfort without forcing themselves on the ear canals. The charger bundled with the phone has an USB type-a adapter is rated at 66 watts. It arrives with a special heavy-duty 6a, USB type-a to type-c cable. This is the same combo offered with the mate 40 pro and mate 40 pro plus.

Besides the fact that you need to hold onto a proprietary cable, there is also the limitation that this is not a pd compatible charger. Instead, it mostly caters to Huawei's own supercharged protocol. It is rated for the following power: output modes, 5, volts, 2a, 10w, 9v2, a18w, 2.25, a 22.5, w 10, v4, a40w and 11v6 a max 66w and only supports SCP and quick charge 2.0 as a fallback, since neither 10 volts nor 11 volts is within the standard, pd spec. The charger can't be used for quick charging other devices. Looking back at our mate x's review, we know for a fact that Huawei shipped that phone with a much more versatile 65 watts power, delivery, compatible and supercharged capable charger.

Alongside a standard, 3.3 type-c to type-c cable, we see the new bundle as a downgrade for its lower versatility. It should be noted that the mate x2 supports a maximum of 55 watts of charging, just like the mate x and mate x's. Despite the higher rated charger design, is unquestionably a cornerstone for a foldable display, handset, perhaps doubly so on the mate x2, since it represents a major shift in Huawei's foldable design, moving away from the outside display concept and diving headfirst into the more traditional inside folding design, and what a majestic dive it is. Huawei managed to actually find a solution to the air gap issue intrinsic to current flexible display tech. Until some major advancement in the field comes along, we are basically stuck with at least some minimum for a curvature radius.

Hence, when you go down, the straightforward route, like Samsung, has been doing with devices like the z-fold 2 and have two basically symmetrical parts. You inevitably end up with an air gap. Huawei's novel approach consists of a few bits. First off the two halves of the mate x2 are not symmetrical in any way. Well, that is to say in terms of depth.

Their footprint is pretty identical, but vertically both are wedge-shaped like two slices of cheese, fitting one over the other. It is an ingenious, even if particular solution. Let's talk about the new hinged, which is a major part of the puzzle here, the falcon wing, thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe, to, watch more videos like this employ zirconium-based liquid metal Huawei claims that the construction is now two times stronger than on the mat axes. The hinge motion feels confident with little flat.
