Huawei has revealed the design of its new Mate 80 series, which will launch on November 25 in China. Along with these flagship phones, the company will also show its new foldable phone, the Mate X7. After sharing the Mate 80 design, Huawei has now given a first look at the Mate X7 and its color options. The phone seems to keep a similar style as before, with only small design changes.
Design and color options
In the official images, the Huawei Mate X7 appears in three colors: white, maroon, and purple. These are the confirmed shades for now, but it is likely that Huawei will reveal more colors during the launch event. At first glance, the phone looks a bit slimmer than the previous Mate X6 model. The back camera design also shows some changes compared to older Mate X foldable devices.
The camera module looks more polished and balanced this time. It seems to include four lenses, one of which is a periscope camera, along with a large LED flash. Huawei confirms that the rear cameras use the XMAGE system, which is the companys own camera technology.
Build quality and durability
Huawei has shared short video teasers showing the Mate X7s strong and durable body. The phone will use second-gen Kunlun glass, which is known for better protection. This material should help the display stay safe from drops and scratches. The device will also offer IP58 and IP59 ratings for dust and water resistance, giving it more safety in daily use.
Expected features and hardware
Leaks from the popular Weibo tipster Digital Chat Station suggest that the Mate X7 will be powered by the new Kirin 9030 processor. Huawei may also include a Pro version of this chip in some variants. The phone is said to offer up to 20GB of RAM and 1TB of internal storage, making it one of the most powerful foldable phones yet.
Early reports also claim that the Mate X7 will use two main rear cameras: a 50MP 1/1.56-inch sensor and a 50MP 1/1.3-inch sensor. There could also be a 50MP periscope telephoto lens for macro photography and a red maple multiple-spectral camera. These sensors are expected to improve picture quality in many lighting conditions.
