Design and Build
The design of the Huawei Mate X is notably distinguished by its foldable OLED display. When unfolded, the device measures 161.3 x 146.2 x 5.4 mm, showcasing an expansive 8.0-inch screen with a resolution of 2200 x 2480 pixels. This large screen offers an immersive experience akin to a tablet, with an impressive screen-to-body ratio of around 86.9%. When folded, the Mate X assumes a more compact profile at 161.3 x 78.3 x 11 mm. The build emphasizes portability and innovation, featuring a plastic front and an aluminum back and frame. Weighing 295 grams, it feels substantial in hand but is still manageable for everyday use. However, the choice of a plastic front, necessary for the foldable design, may concern those accustomed to more rugged glass screens.
