huawei mate x3 philippines review

Huawei is making this last few steps with the Mate X3 in an attempt to make you think you're holding a regular bar-type phone that shows its real capability when unfolded. Design and Construction Let's get this out first -- the Huawei Mate X3 is crazy thin at just 5.3mm. Likewise, Huawei boasts of the Mate X3 as the only foldable phone that has an IPX8 rating for splash and water resistance to depths of up to 1.5 meters and as long as 30 minutes. By far, the Huawei Mate X3 has the best engineering and design of a foldable smartphone -- it is almost flawless even at very close inspection. This is protected by a durable Kunlun Glass which Huawei claims is 5 times more drop resistant than the one on the previous Mate X2. OS, Apps and UI The Huawei Mate X3 runs on EMUI 13.1 which is based on Android 12. Camera The Huawei Mate X3 packs a 50MP Ultra Vision main camera with f/1.8 aperture, a 13MP ultra-wide angle camera with f/2.2 aperture, and a 12MP periscope telephoto camera with f/3.4 aperture that can do 5x optical zoom. Overall, the camera system of the Mate X3 is good but it is nowhere near that of the optical clarity of the Huawei P60 Pro.
