When it comes to folding screen phones, the impression may still be that they are "relatively heavy products". To achieve the ultimate thin and light body, we have to solve the problem of lack of space inside, because the lack of better stacking materials will lead to the phone not being able to perform better. Huawei's latest flagship, the Mate X3 Folding, cleverly solves these two problems.
Innovative ultra-slim material for the ultimate thin and light body
When I got the Huawei Mate X3, I was honestly very surprised, because the use of ultra-slim self-research materials and a new generation of dual-spin waterdrop hinge, the thickness of the unfolded form of the body is only 5.3mm, as soon as the hands can feel the ultimate thinness, the thickness of the closed body is only 11.08mm, and the normal straight board models are not very different, perhaps the most obvious is the slimmer The most obvious thing is probably the slimmer screen.
The Huawei Mate X3 is available in fingerprint-resistant feather material in "feather black", "feather purple" and "feather white", as well as in ultra-thin vegan leather in "morning gold" and "green mountain". The Morningsun Gold we have in our hands is designed with a natural and pure texture, elegant and restrained, yet naturally skin-friendly and comfortable.
The camera module of Huawei Mate X3 not only continues the symmetrical design concept of the Mate series, but also brings a new concept of "Universal Porthole", which brings a layered light-matte texture through 29 processes of fine craftsmanship, plus 12 hours of fine polishing, and can present changes of light and shadow when the phone is turned, and the unique The unique beveled satin surface also raises the phone's recognition.
As for the screen, Huawei Mate X3 uses a 6.3-inch OLED external screen with a resolution of 2504x1080, and a 7.85-inch OLED internal screen with a resolution of 2496x2224 after expansion. There is no obvious sense of fragmentation.
It is worth noting that the Huawei Mate X3 is the first phone with a quadruple-curved folding design, which not only makes it more natural to look at, but also fits better in the palm of your hand. The strongest perception is the sliding back operation, which is smoother and more comfortable compared to straight screen phones.
In addition, the Huawei Mate X3 supports Huawei's immersive display technology, which brings full color gamut and full-link color management, and supports P3 projection, making both the mobile and projection side of the display color with professional-grade color accuracy, making the Huawei Mate X3 the first folding screen phone to receive professional color accuracy certification from TÜV Rheinland for both internal and external screens.
The outer screen of the Huawei Mate X3 is made of ultra-reliable Kunlun glass, which is 10 times more drop-resistant than ordinary glass.
XMAGE image support for all-round folding image
Huawei Mate X3 is equipped with a 50-megapixel super-aware main camera, a 13-megapixel super wide-angle lens and a 12-megapixel 5X telephoto lens, with the new portrait mode and hovering photography, as a folding flagship, Huawei Mate X3's image capabilities are still very impressive.
The sample photos show that the color reproduction of Huawei Mate X3 is very accurate, almost to the naked eye, with AI texture image engine, by extracting the global characteristics of the photographed object and local characteristics information, restore more realistic color and texture.

Huawei Mate X3 also has a unique XMAGE image style. In addition to the "primary color" mode that brings realistic color effects, there are two color styles, "vivid" and "bright", to meet different shooting scenarios. For example, you can choose the "Vivid" mode for better color performance for the architectural shots below.

What surprised me most was the 5X telephoto lens, which is not only particularly suitable for shooting objects at a distance, but also effectively avoids cluttered scenes and makes the composition more aesthetically pleasing and layered. I was also very satisfied with the sharpness of the images taken by the telephoto lens, and all the excellent performance made me subconsciously switch to the 5X for shooting every time I turned on the camera.
