Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

On March 23, the much-anticipated Huawei Mate X3 flagship folding screen phone was officially launched at the launch of Huawei's spring product launch, starting at 12999 yuan. This is the seventh folding screen mobile phone manufacturer in the industry, which is the only one in the industry with three major folding forms: internal folding, external folding and vertical folding.

Huawei Mate X3 has surpassed the imagination of folding screen with a weight of only 239g (plain leather) and has almost surpassed many flagship straight-board models. In addition, Huawei Mate X3 is equipped with an upgraded version of the two-way Beidou satellite messaging function, as well as Kunlun Glass, which is more resistant to falling.

Next, CTOnews.com will give you a hands-on experience around this product.

The first part: although the design folding screen has been developed for many years, the weight, hinge and the reliability of the screen are still the difficulties that the major folding screen mobile phone manufacturers need to break through.

Huawei took the lead in promoting the lightweight evolution of folding screen phones with a "lightweight" body weight of 255g on the Mate Xs 2 folding screen phones released last year. But Mate Xs 2 is after all a folded design, missing a screen, in fact, in the frivolous form itself is dominant.

Therefore, the first thing Huawei Mate X3 brings is to break through the frivolity of the folding screen:

Huawei Mate X3 achieves a very light weight of 239g plain leather and 241g glass. For comparison, the iPhone 14 Pro Max weighs 240g. Literally, the plain Huawei Mate X3 is even lighter than the iPhone flagship.

In the history of the development of folding screen phones, this is definitely the most important "lightweight" breakthrough.

What is the concept that the thickness of Huawei Mate X3 is only 11.08mm in the folded state and 5.3mm in the expanded state? The vivo X5 Max, which won the title of the thinnest smartphone that year, is only 4.75mm in thickness.

Just talking about these figures, we may not have a specific concept, let's put it this way! Huawei Mate X3 5.3mm thickness, or even conventional Type-C devices can no longer fit, so Huawei has specially developed a patented ultra-thin Type-C device, which is more than half thinner.

Holding the Huawei Mate X3 in hand is no different from the weight of a conventional straight-screen flagship machine, and you won't feel that the Huawei Mate X3 is an extra burden, whether it's held in one hand or in your pocket.

One of the keys to the thinness of folding screens is hinge technology. Huawei Mate X3 is equipped with a new generation of double-rotating droplet hinges. In terms of material innovation, high-strength aircraft-grade wing aluminum is introduced. Through non-hole technology and dual-rail drive structure, the reliability of the rotating shaft is greatly improved, and the hinge resistance to extrusion and deformation is brought.

In terms of user experience, no matter whether the rotating shaft is closed or flattened, Huawei Mate X3 is integrated, with proper resistance in the opening and closing process, smooth hovering and elegant and moist feel.

On the screen, Huawei Mate X3 comes with a 6.4inch 3D OLED outer screen and a 7.85inch collapsible OLED flexible inner screen.

Among them, Huawei Mate X3 outer screen uses ultra-reliable Kunlun glass, which is widely praised and tested by users, so that the ability to withstand falls is enhanced to 10 times.

Huawei Mate X3 inner screen laminated design uses the industry's first non-Newtonian fluid material, the first screen composite laminated structure, compared with the previous generation of Mate X2 inner screen, the impact resistance is improved to 4 times, easy to cope with a variety of use scenarios and environments.

In terms of display, it is equipped with a 6.4-inch 3D OLED quadruple outer screen and a 7.85-inch foldable flexible OLED inner screen, which is highly consistent with the inner and outer screens, and supports 426PPI, 120Hz adaptive refresh rate and 1440Hz high-frequency PWM dimming.

In terms of color, Huawei Mate X3 became the first folding screen phone with T Ü V professional color double certification in Rheinland, and supported full color gamut color management and P3 wireless screen.

It is worth mentioning that Huawei Mate X3 also supports IPX8 water resistance, wet hands can also effectively touch the screen, in the entire folding screen field, support waterproof products can be said to be rare.

In terms of detail design, the camera module of Huawei Mate X3 still continues the symmetrical aesthetics of the Mate family. The circular module is divided into three parts, the lens is located in the module in a parallel way, and then the upper and lower metal areas of the module are connected to form an unforgettable "porthole".

The upper and lower metal area of "Oneworld porthole" also shows a small downward slope, and the metal area itself also uses the wire drawing technology of matte face, which is square in the circle, smooth and dumb, as well as the design of "soft and hard" lines, so that the "Oneworld porthole" has become the finishing touch in the design of Huawei Mate X3, which not only brings a highly identifiable shape, but also creates a high-end, atmospheric and avant-garde product temperament.

Huawei Mate X3 also offers three glass colors of feather sand black, feather sand white and feather purple, as well as two plain leather colors of Morninglight Gold and Qingshandai, which is actually shot by CTOnews.com as "Dawn Gold", which is a very elegant gold, whose delicate texture neutralizes the "publicity" of gold itself, with a bit of restraint in high profile, which is very consistent with the harsh aesthetic needs of high-end people to "keep maverick and refuse publicity".

Undeniably, when it comes to high-end mobile phone design, it depends on Huawei Mate.

Part II: image experience Huawei Mate X3 is equipped with a brand new XMAGE super-perceptual imaging system, including a 5000-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera (Sony IMX766), a 1300-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera (Sony IMX688), and a 1200-megapixel telephoto camera (Sony IMX688), which features a 5x optical zoom and a unique RYYB ultra-perceptual imaging unit for excellent night view performance.

In the algorithm engine, Huawei Mate X3 also launched the AI texture image engine, which can restore the clear picture seen by the naked eye.

In terms of experience, Huawei Mate X3 also achieves the fastest photo performance of folding its flagship.

In the shooting mode, Huawei Mate X3 offers three XMAGE styles of primary color, bright color and bright color, in which the "primary color" is closer to the true color seen by the naked eye, while the sample in bright color has higher saturation, higher contrast, light and shade, with more emphasis on atmosphere and humanistic atmosphere. "bright" mode sample is more transparent and bright.

"Primary color, bright and bright"

"Primary color, bright" three different XMAGE image styles for users to choose freely, the system defaults to "primary color".

Ultra-wide angle

The development of ultra-wide-angle, 5x and 10x Huawei mobile phones in the image field for many years has formed its own XMAGE image style. With Huawei mobile phone, you can take more realistic, refreshing, permeable and breathing photos, which you can understand as the "inside information" of Huawei image XMAGE.

What surprises me is this 1200 megapixel 5X periscope telephoto. With the blessing of Huawei's XMAGE image algorithm, this lens has a very high film rate. No matter it is 5X or 10X sample, it has high imaging quality, does not lose details, and accurately captures the changes of light and shadow. It can be described as a blockbuster.

5X not only that, in the night, the 5X telephoto also has a very high imaging quality, even in a complex light environment, you can still easily shoot delicate and real night blockbusters.

Thanks to the advantage of folding screen, Huawei Mate X3 can hover photography, automatically capture photos in hover mode, support time-lapse photography and streamer shutter mode, and various modes are easy to use.

Streamer shutter-like Zhang Huawei Mate X3 ultra-perceptual XMAGE image, with XD Fusion Pro primary color engine, can restore true color, and presents the unique texture of XMAGE image.

Maybe there is no need for deep shooting experience or systematic learning. When we pick up Huawei's phone and press the shutter, we can get better color experience, better brightness and contrast, better telephoto experience, zoom experience, better capture, everyone can shoot blockbusters at will, and everyone can become a photographer of life.

Part III: communication experience Huawei has a deep technical background in the communications industry for many years, such as the "sky-breaking" satellite communication technology brought by Huawei Mate 50 series and Mate Xs 2 is the witness of its strength. Huawei Mate X3 continues these advantages with an upgraded version of Beidou satellite messaging.

In the past two years, hard-core sports such as wild exploration, mountain camping and secret camping have been loved by consumers, but these inaccessible places often have poor mobile signals, or even the risk of losing contact with the outside world.

At this time, the importance of satellite communication is reflected, but in the past, smart phones do not support satellite communication technology, and satellite communication equipment is often professional, expensive, tedious to use, not suitable for ordinary consumers.

As a result, Huawei Mate X3 brings Beidou satellite messages in both directions-even without ground network coverage.

Huawei Mate X3 supports multiple locations to generate track maps and adds a "quick help" function, which can quickly select key content and generate a distress message.

In order to better demonstrate the Beidou satellite function of Huawei Mate X3, we directly unplug the SIM from the phone to simulate the loss of communication on the ground, and then carry out the actual measurement.

We find the Beidou satellite message in the "Changlian" App, select the new message, select the contact or fill in the mobile phone number, and then simply locate and search the star to complete the transmission of the Beidou satellite message, and can carry the location information, and the receiver will receive a short message from the "Beidou Satellite Communication", which includes the location information, the location details with the link, and a link to the user's reply to the Beidou satellite message.

The two-way Beidou satellite message of Huawei Mate X3 further supports the message reply, realizing the two-way contact between the rescuer and the rescuer, keeping watch at all times. It can be said that Huawei Mate X3 is a mobile phone that will never be lost.

Part IV: interactive experience in the past two years, constantly updated and iterative HarmonyOS has brought Huawei core advantages such as multi-screen collaboration, distributed file management, control center, super terminal and so on, not only promoting the interactive upgrading of smart terminal devices such as mobile phones, tablets and PC, but also breaking the system ecological barrier between them, so that content can be synchronized and hardware shared between different devices.

Huawei Mate X3 comes with the new HarmonyOS 3.1, which naturally extends these advantages. For example, in terms of productivity, Huawei Mate X3 supports super relay station function, which can transfer text, pictures, music, video and other materials between different terminals.

For example, with Huawei tablet, Huawei Mate X3 brings multi-device mobile communication sharing, so that the tablet can enjoy Huawei Mate X3 mobile network, and even the tablet can detect the phone number to achieve one-click login, avoiding the tedious need to copy SMS verification code to log in.

For example, the cross-device service transfer between Huawei Mate X3 and Huawei tablet, the current tasks on mobile phones and tablets can be seamlessly transferred to each other's devices, such as opening CTOnews.comApp on the tablet, you can directly cut the background, and then transfer to Huawei mobile phone to continue reading, it is more important to emphasize that at this time the phone does not even need to install the corresponding App, I have to say that Huawei has understood the cross-screen cooperation.

Of course, these features are already very familiar to Huawei users, which is also the core experience advantage of Huawei Hongmeng, which may be difficult for competitors to surpass for a while.

Huawei Mate X3 has also ushered in a new interactive upgrade this time, including the addition of a new smart multi-window mode to the upper and lower split screen mode, which is a great bonus to the experience.

For example, we want to browse Weibo while watching videos. In the past, when we split the screen around, the video window was a bit small. On the Huawei Mate X3, the upper and lower screens are opened directly, and the video window will completely occupy the upper body of the fuselage, showing a larger picture.

In addition, the hovering function of Huawei Mate X3 is also very easy to use, first of all, the hinge damping is just right, the hovering angle range is very wide, and the large-angle screen will not bounce back automatically.

Second, the new inner screen camera can hover over video calls and so on.

For example, the most commonly used video App hover to watch movies. In hover mode, you can enter the hover state by clicking on the video. The top is used for video playback, and the bottom is to control the volume and progress.

In addition, in the state of hovering screen, time, weather and other information will also appear on the standing half screen, Huawei Mate X3 can be turned into a desktop clock in a second, and it is also a feast for the eyes to be placed at the head of the bed and on the desktop.

Part V: performance experience Huawei Mate X3 is equipped with full blood version of Snapdragon 84G processor, 12GB LPDDR5 memory + UFS 3.1flash memory.

We go directly to the "original God" to carry out the actual measurement.

The same old rule, the highest picture quality, 60 frames, 30 minutes of high-intensity "original god", fighting time more than 50% of the whole game.

In the end, Huawei Mate X3 won the result of 59.77fps, this performance is quite excellent, after all, "original God" quite eat performance, the game process is basically a steady state, the battle scene will occasionally maintain around 45fps, the naked eye can not see a lot of frame drop phenomenon.

After 30 minutes of the game, Huawei Mate X3 also achieved a power performance of about 4.63W.

In terms of heat dissipation, Huawei Mate X3 uses cross-axis heat dissipation technology and uses Huawei's patented graphene crystallization, resulting in an 80% increase in thermal conductivity compared with conventional ones.

Because the game is played on the inner screen, the fuselage is also slightly hot, and the heat is concentrated in the camera area, while the position touched by the palm can only be said to be slightly hot, which shows that Huawei Mate X3 performs extremely well in performance tuning, power consumption and temperature control.

Huawei Mate X3 is equipped with a large 4800mAh battery that supports 66W wired fast charging, 50W wireless charging and 7.5W wireless reverse charging, and Huawei Mate X3 also carries the unique emergency mode of Huawei Mate 50 series, which starts emergency mode at 1% low power and continues to support 12-minute emergency calls, or 10 bright codes, or 4 code scans.

In terms of charging, after CTOnews.com measurement, after turning on Turbo, Huawei Mate X3 can be charged to more than 80% in 30 minutes, while it only takes about 42 minutes to display 100% power.

Written in the end: as early as a month ago, Huawei Mate X3 ushered in the official first sale, as expected, as soon as this new product went on sale, it set off a rush to buy, becoming a hot new product online and offline, one machine is difficult to get, and even the offline market has increased the price by thousands of yuan.

Consumers are discerning, and it may be an "accident" that a product can be sold out of stock and "snapped up". You can say that product marketing is good, but two products, three products and even more products can reach this level. I think, no matter how strong the marketing force is, it is impossible to support this kind of heat, obviously, this is inseparable from its own product power and brand strength.

The reason why Huawei folding screen can achieve such a success is Huawei's experience innovation and technological breakthrough from the bottom and from the inside to the outside based on the deep needs of consumers.

For example, on Huawei's Mate X3, folding screen phones ushered in the most "lightweight" breakthrough in history, comparable to or even surpassed the weight of straight-screen phones, lightweight body design, Kunlun glass, two-way Beidou satellite messages, as well as powerful XMAGE super-perceptual imaging system, experience obvious advantages of Hongmeng system. Casually come up with one point, that is, the experience advantages that competitors do not have, how can such core competitiveness not be sold out?

So, if you need a high-end folding screen phone right now, a folding screen phone that can show your identity and bring the ultimate experience, then Huawei Mate X3 is the best choice for you.
