The next-gen folding screen smartphone called the Huawei Mate X3 has been rumored to come before the end of 2022. It didn’t happen. Recently, we have heard that the phone should debut before the release of the Huawei P60. The scheduled release time is shortly after the Spring Festival.
The key features of the Huawei Mate X3 will be consistent with that of the Huawei Mate 50 series. Moreover, many hardware features will be identical to those of the Huawei P60. Both will be equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor.
It is worth noting that Huawei Mate X3 will also support the “piercing sky” satellite communication technology. Thus, it will be able to realize emergency communication through satellites when there is no network signal. Other than that, the Huawei Mate X3 will be the world’s first to come with Huawei’s second-generation satellite communication technology.
Huawei has partnered with Beidou to bring satellite connectivity to Mate 50 smartphones in China. But smartphones can only send short messages and coordinates via satellite. Thus, it is assumed that the service will be updated to support the ability to send messages, at least in voice format, and possibly even make short calls.
Apart from this, we have also got the renders of the Huawei Mate X3, showing the exterior design.
Judging from the pictures, the Huawei Mate X3 still retains the inward-folding design of the X series. But the new model seems to be more suitable for the overall product line. Its back design is basically the same as that of the Huawei Mate 50. Judging from the lens module, there will be a periscope telephoto lens.
Huawei’s satellite communication technology has amazed many users since its debut. This technology can help users maintain contact with the outside world even in harsh environments, which is very helpful for emergency rescue.
