Mate X3 has been used for half a month. From the perspective of experience, it may really be the ceiling in the field of folding machines...
Lightweight at the bar level, as thin as a charging port
The first thing you can feel about the Mate X3 is its thinness. How light and thin is it?
First of all, in terms of weight, the Mate X3 bare metal weighs 239 grams, while the official weight of the iPhone 14 pro Max on Apple's official website is 240 grams. In other words, as a folding screen, the Mate X3 has reached a level that can be compared with a bar machine in terms of weight.
If you have no concept of the "lightness" of Mate X3, we can compare it with some mainstream folding screens. In 2023, the latest folding screen mobile phones of other manufacturers will generally weigh more than 260 grams, and the Mate X3 at 239 grams is undoubtedly far ahead.
Of course, there are lighter foldable phones like OPPO's find n2 which weighs 233 grams, but it's more like a "flip" than a "flod" because it's smaller than a normal foldable The screen is only 7.1 inches after opening, which is much smaller than other folding machines with more than 8 inches.
Next we look at thickness. Judging from the screenshots, the thickness of the unfolded Mate X3 is almost as thick as the charging port. Even if it is folded, it is about the same thickness as a mobile phone with a protective case. This thinness is not only leading in the field of folding machines, but can even be placed on the bar machine track.
Even, with an extra external screen, it is thinner than Mate Xs2.
Whether it is light or thin, it can be said that Mate X3 has achieved the ultimate of current folding machines.
IPX8 waterproof, wet screen will not affect the operation
Due to the existence of folding screen mobile phone hinges and the characteristics of opening and closing, "waterproof" has always been a relatively difficult problem for folding screens. Before Mate X3, only Samsung's folding screen mobile phones have worked hard on waterproofing. With the addition of Mate X3, It fills the gap in the waterproof field of domestic folding screens.
First of all, let's look at the waterproof effect of Mate X3: it can reach IPX8 level under GB/T 4208-2017 (domestic) / IEC 60529 (overseas) standards.
This level is illustrated by a popular scene, that is, it can be soaked in clear water with a depth of 1.5 meters for 30 minutes.
And the Mate X3 is not only waterproof, but the more advanced point is that the Mate X3 does not affect the operation in the water environment, and it is truly waterproof and not afraid of water.
Notebook-style multi-angle hovering, split screen to enhance experience
In terms of experience, Huawei Mate X3 supports hovering at any angle between 15 degrees and 110 degrees. In terms of video calls, watching videos, and time-lapse photos in the hovering state, it can achieve the experience effect on a laptop.
In terms of split screen, in the direction of the split screen, you can split the screen up and down, or split the screen left and right; at the application level, you can use the Mate X3 application to double-open split-screen (more shopping apps to compare prices), or use a single app to adapt the split screen. screen (such as Weibo, Toutiao and other media apps, such as Weibo, Toutiao and other media apps, the comment area on the left side of the article on the right side, the chat box on the left side of the contact person on WeChat, etc.); at the same time, it also supports custom combination of split screens to achieve a PC-like experience and improve efficiency.
At the same time, due to the large screen of the folding machine, the power consumption speed will be faster, so convenient charging has always been one of the important selling points to improve the user experience of the folding machine. However, there are necessary accessories such as hinges in the folding machine, resulting in a small internal space, and it is difficult to work hard in the field of charging. Even so, Mate X3 still packs wireless charging into the 239-gram body.
Of course, in addition to the above-mentioned relatively obvious experience improvements, Mate X3 is also equipped with Huawei mobile phone features/hardware such as the old-fashioned Beidou satellite two-way message, Lingxi network, and Kunlun glass. It can be said that in terms of overall experience, Mate X3 is worthy of the phrase "far ahead" in the field of folding machines.
