Have you ever thought that a foldable phone could be lighter than the iPhone 14 Pro Max? No? Well, Huawei Mate X3 is here to prove you wrong. The phone is not only lighter than all foldable phones, but it is also lighter than regular phones.
Nevertheless, the good news is that the lightest phone in the world is making its way to the first sale in its home country. In China, it comes in two different versions. Soft screen and glass screen, which is basically the collector’s edition. And shortly after that first sales event, the phone will hit global consumers in May.
In-Depth Look at the Build Quality of the Huawei Mate X3
So how did Huawei manage to reduce the overall weight of the Mate X3? Well, the Chinese manufacturer focused mainly on screen weight and body material. The former saw a drop of 28%, while the latter fell by 20%. To be exact, the total weight of the device is only 239 grams.
For reference, the iPhone 14 Pro Max weighs 240 grams. Yes, the 1 gram difference with the Huawei Mate X3 may seem minimal. However, you have to consider that the X3 is foldable. And if you compare it with the Galaxy Z Fold 4, the difference in weight will be much more noticeable.
In addition, Huawei has worked with the thickness of the Mate X3. When unfolded, it is only 5.3mm thick. This compact nature of the phone will make it easier for you to carry the phone in your pocket.
Now, just because the Mate X3’s weight is low doesn’t mean Huawei skimped on the internals. Instead, Huawei packed flagship-grade components. And if you’re interested, the starting price in China is 12,999 yuan ($1,890).
