A very interesting trend has emerged in the mobile phone market in the past two years，On the one hand, the flagships of various imaging companies completely let themselves go in terms of weight，200g is no longer the threshold，220g can also accept，What's more, it weighs almost half a catty，Completely disregards the user's wrist；on the other hand，The heavy folding screen mobile phone in the public impression is constantly trying to lose weight，From 300+g to about 260g，The gap with the bar machine is almost only a piece of window paper，It's just a matter of time。even so，But I still didn't expect that the first folding screen that pierced the window paper would come so early。This is what Huawei is doingHuawei Mate X3, a new generation of inward-folding flagship released at the end of last month 。
Its lightest weight of 239g is symbolically 1g lighter than the iPhone 14 Pro Max, the representative of the thick and heavy bar machine，It's a pretty catchy gimmick.。As a Mate X2 user，I am impressed by the sufficient material and the thickness of the fuselage.。and arrived HUAWEI Mate X3 here，Although the weight dropped by one-fifth，But the stockpile still seems to be enough，I have to study it carefully，Let's take a look。
Video Review of Huawei 2023 Spring Flagship New Product Launch Conference：
Exterior：Light is more important than thin
at the beginning of this section，I'm going to start by stating one of my points directly.：For folding screen phones，Light is more important than thin。the reason for saying that，It is because when many colleagues first saw Huawei Mate X3，I often don't think it's amazing，Because it is very close in thickness to the folding screen products recently launched by friends.。
But when compared，Under the premise that the difference in thickness is negligible，The 20g that Huawei released will undoubtedly significantly improve the wrist feeling。With a softer curve of the fuselage middle frame，Extended pinky support for extended use，And when closed, it feels closer to a normal bar machine。
Next, let's take a look at the screen of Huawei Mate X3。As a product with a screen in its name，The screen performance of the folding screen mobile phone is naturally the top priority of the comprehensive experience。 Huawei Mate X3 is equipped with a 6.4-inch OLED outer screen and a 7.85-inch foldable OLED inner screen，The pixel density of the inner and outer screens has reached 426 PPI，At the same time, both internal and external screens support 120Hz dynamic high refresh rate and 1440Hz high-frequency PWM dimming，Both fluency and eye protection effect can be taken into account。
In addition to the ultra-high specification screen quality，Huawei Mate X3 also provides full color gamut and full link color management，And support P3 projection，Whether it is displayed on the mobile phone or on the projection screen, it has the color accuracy of the special display level，Became the first folding screen mobile phone with both internal and external screens certified by TÜV Rheinland。
For folding screen phones，Durability is also a concern for many。For increased durability，Huawei Mate X3 "both internal and external"，Both the internal and external screens have been upgraded。on the external screen， Huawei Mate X3 external screen adopts Mate50 The same series of Kunlun glass，It enhances implantation by compound ions，After 24 hours of high temperature nanocrystal growth，108Microcrystalline raw materials and panel processing procedures，1600 Platinum precious metal smelting technology，Over 100 million nanocrystals grown，The toughness of glass is greatly improved。
And in the more "fragile" inner screen，Huawei Mate X3 uses a composite laminated structure design，The impact-resistant non-Newtonian fluid material is used for the first time in the laminate of the inner screen，Through Huawei's self-developed material formula，Make the material soft when bent at a slow speed，Instantly turns into a hard material on rapid impact，Bringing "When the Strong Comes Stronger"、The impact resistance effect of "weakness is weak"。
In addition, there is another improvement that I personally think is the most practical-waterproof，Due to the complex mechanical structure，Folding screen phones are inherently more fragile，Daily use will inevitably be a bit worrying。I have a habit，just listen to podcasts in the shower，But after using a foldable phone，This habit was "eliminated" by the folding screen mobile phone，Mate X3's IPX8 water resistance gives me a chance to get back this habit，Also a small plus。Huawei Mate X3 also upgrades the touch algorithm，Greatly improve the success rate of touching the screen with wet hands，In the scene where water droplets are attached to the screen，Both internal and external screens can realize effective sliding and screen touch。
back cover design，Huawei Mate X3 is also full of ingenuity。This time, Huawei Mate X3 provides Feather Sand Black、feather white、Feather sand purple three glass materials and dawn gold、Aoyama Dai two types of plain leather materials, a total of five color options。We got the Feather Sand White color scheme this time，By shaping the diamond-like crystal structure，The change of light perception of feather frosted glass is more outstanding than that of frosted glass，The granularity is also finer，under different light，Gloss performance changes accordingly，Soft to the touch and no fingerprints。
A benchmark for reshaping folding machine aesthetics，Huawei carefully polished the camera module of Huawei Mate X3，Focus on subverting the imagination of the future sense of technology design，Following the classic concept of axisymmetric in Huawei Mate series，Take inspiration from the portholes of the space station，Custom diamond cutters for superb cutting，29 Seiko secret agents，Shock to create an unforgettable "universe porthole" design on the back panel，Demonstrate a unique and mysterious avant-garde temperament。
Finally, let's take a look at some details on the appearance，Huawei Mate X3 adopts side fingerprint design，The recognition speed is good。Stereo dual speakers are arranged on the upper and lower sides of one side of the outer screen，It has a double airtight large sound cavity，Create a three-dimensional surround sound field，Achieving a more balanced effect in audio width and loudness。
by design、Optimization of materials and other aspects，Huawei Mate X3 successfully has a thin and light body comparable to a bar machine，This has also become its most amazing fuselage feature。on top of this，"Universal porthole" rear camera module、The design of the four-curved body makes it have the high-end sense that flagship products should have.。
experience：Sex can be used，Better optimization
After talking about appearance and image，Let's take a look at the experience of using Huawei Mate X3。The first thing to talk about is naturally Huawei's unique satellite communication technology.。This time Huawei offers a very useful upgrade，Now when the user sends a distress message through the Beidou satellite message,，The recipient can send a message to the help-seeking party through the website in the text message，two-way communication，more practical in actual use。
in actual use，Just click Beidou satellite news in Changlian App，Select the contact and content to send the message，You can send a help text message with coordinate information to the contact。during the test，The time from sending to receiving is basically kept within 5 minutes。However, it should be noted that，This feature currently only sends text messages，Not available indoors，Its main role is to provide emergency assistance.。
besides，As the first Huawei mobile phone pre-installed with HarmonyOS 3.1，Huawei Mate X3 also has many practical functions，Below I will pick a few to introduce。
After expanding the inner screen，The first thing you notice is the desktop change，Huawei Mate X3 adopts a new dual-screen desktop design，Can make better use of the advantages of large screen。The newly optimized smart multi-window is outside the conventional left-right split-screen mode，Also launched the up and down split screen mode，For example, split-screen combination of video and games，Automatically identify the upper and lower split screens in one step，within reach of the thumb。Simultaneously，Huawei Mate X3 also supports one-step split screen，One-click switch split screen style，Switch between left and right and up and down split screen layouts；You can also customize the split screen combination，Save commonly used split-screen combinations to the desktop with one click，Launch two apps with one click，save time and energy。
thanks to the hoverable hinge，Huawei Mate X3 brings more interesting gameplay on the big screen。while watching a video，The phone can be hovered over the desktop，Watching on the top half screen，The bottom half of the screen turns into a touchpad，Play progress can be controlled by swiping/clicking、Volume、brightness。while taking pictures，Huawei Mate X3 can provide both up and down split-screen viewfinder mode，It can also help users throw off the tripod，Experience the joy of time-lapse photography directly。
with the screen off，Huawei Mate X3 supports hovering to turn off the display，when hovering，The screen appears with a "half" animation，The erected half-screen displays the content of the off-screen，Provide dynamic weather information，The half-screen display changes in real time with the specific outdoor weather，Turn your mobile phone into an exquisite three-dimensional decoration in an instant。
For folding screen phones，Another major pain point in use is application adaptation，Many Android apps are simply stretched under the big screen，Displays even less content than a traditional candy bar phone，This is undoubtedly a serious waste of the big screen。To solve this problem，Huawei unveils adaptive UI engine，Obtain original layout information through self-learning，Re-optimized layout for large screen display，finer layout，More suitable for reading habits of large screen users。
According to the actual test, it can be seen that，With the help of an adaptive UI engine，App can display more content on the big screen，Improve the reading efficiency of users。
Finally look at the performance，Due to supply constraints，Huawei Mate X3 still uses the 4G version of Snapdragon 8+ processor，But its performance is good enough。To actually test its performance，We tested it directly with Genshin Impact，Under the setting of very high quality + 60 frames，The average frame rate of Huawei Mate X3 is 59.9 frames。The frame rate curve is relatively flat，The actual game experience has no obvious lag，Reached the average level of the Snapdragon 8+ processor。
Overall，While Huawei Mate X3 provides better performance，Focus on optimizing the user experience。Through further optimization of small window and split screen operation logic，Make it easier for users to use。The innovative adaptive UI engine solves the big problem of App optimization, which plagues folding screen phones，Helping the big screen take productivity to the next level。
image：The strength is still strong under the ultra-thin body
Imaging capability has always been one of the main selling points of Huawei's high-end mobile phones，This time on Huawei Mate X3 is no exception。Let's take a look at the real-shot samples of this set of 50-megapixel super optical variable camera + 13-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera + 12-megapixel periscope telephoto camera。
in the actual shooting experience，We found that the main camera image quality of Huawei Mate X3 is quite amazing，Clear in the basic picture、sharp detail、Beyond color accuracy，Screen resolution is also very good，The blessing of HDR function also makes it achieve better picture restoration。

What is satisfying is the telephoto lens of Huawei Mate X3，The lens has excellent imaging effects no matter at the 5x optical zoom factor or the 10x hybrid zoom factor realized by computational photography technology。Satisfactory image quality even when shooting distant objects。
With the help of computational photography capabilities，Huawei Mate X3 also performs very well in night scenes and low-light environments。Through the proofs, we can see that Huawei Mate X3 can achieve clear and detailed imaging effects even in low-light environments，And there is no glare problem visible to the naked eye。
For the current folding screen mobile phone market，The imaging capability of Huawei Mate X3 can be called the first echelon，At present, there are only one or two competing products whose imaging capabilities are at the same level.。
battery life：flattening machine，Take it for a day
Finally, let's talk about battery life，Huawei Mate X3 is equipped with a combination of 4800mAh battery, 66W wired fast charging and 50W wireless fast charging，It is very eye-catching when the current folding screen mobile phone generally has a small battery。According to the actual measurement，Charging starts from 1% battery，Huawei Mate X3 charges 44% after 15 minutes，30Recharge 84% in minutes，It takes 38 minutes to fully charge。
battery life，We tested with the 5-hour battery life model，After 5 hours of actual measurement, the remaining power of Huawei Mate X3 is 46%.，Already at the same level as some flagship candy bars，But if you are a heavy mobile phone user，Might still need to be charged twice a day.。
If before Mate 50 Emergence of the series，It is a clear signal from Huawei to the outside world.，Proof that the former high-end king is back。Then the emergence of Huawei Mate X3，It is a "muscle show" of Huawei's product strength，through a robust stack design、Extensive use of new materials。
Huawei Mate X3 successfully hit the weight of the body to the level of a bar machine without sacrificing the configuration，Raise the feel of folding screen mobile phones to a new level。I believe that with the appeal of the Huawei brand in the high-end market and the excellent product power of HUAWEI Mate X3 itself，Mate X3 will achieve excellent performance in the folding screen market。
Huawei Mate X3 does have a subversive performance，It has an extremely thin and light body，Handy feeling，Superior screen durability，Powerful image and unique innovative experience，It can be said， Huawei Mate X3 is a folding screen product that is really close to the "ideal type" in everyone's mind。Believe that with new innovations and breakthroughs，HUAWEI Mate X3 will also become the most popular folding screen flagship in 2023。
