We've seen most of these cameras in other Huawei flagships before and most recently the Mate 40 series, so we're sure they'll take great pictures.

The front camera is a 16MP wide lens, which is supposed to allow a variety of options when taking single or group selfies.

At the Mate X2 launch event, Huawei explained that you can also use the rear camera module to take selfies by opening the phone with the rear camera facing you, and this makes the front camera look somewhat redundant.

Phone features and the most important positive points

  • Modern and distinctive design that eliminates all the faults of other foldable phones, most notably the presence of gaps in the hinge.
  • The weight of the phone is very decent even though it has two screens and a giant battery.
  • The quality of the screens is very excellent, it comes with high definition and supports an outstanding refresh rate, which makes it an ideal choice for watching videos, movies and playing games, what else do you want? You have two screens, 90Hz and a great screen-to-body ratio.
  • A pioneering processor that provides a good user experience, and the company is credited with using its most powerful processor in its new foldable phone, which is also the same processor that the company uses in a phone Huawei Mate 40 Pro style.
  • Good internal configuration, especially the large internal storage space, and Huawei was not satisfied with that, but added the possibility of expanding it by installing an external memory card.
  • Super photography capabilities and this is no stranger to Huawei, the company that cooperates with Leica in its flagship phones to create and design imaging lenses that provide the best images saturated with colors and full of details.
  • A distinctive real optical zoom that will enable the user to know the details of everything he is photographing up close.
  • Possibility to take selfies with the rear camera, imagine what it would be like to have an impressive setup consisting of two periscope Telephoto lenses.
  • The colors of the phone are impressive, and frankly, I find it the best for Huawei's flagship phones in the current period

Disadvantages and disadvantages of mobile

  • There is no support for the S-Pen which is a huge unexplained failure for the company. Imagine what the experience would have been if there was support for the stylus. This phone could have competed with all tablets such as the Galaxy Tab 6 and iPad Pro 2020.
  • The old Android 10 operating system, and it is unacceptable for a phone to be launched at this high price with an old operating system compared to all other competitors.
  • There is still no support for Google services, despite the company's promises that it will develop hundreds of applications in the App Gallery to fit the new phone, but users' sense of security and privacy with Google applications still Huawei has not been able to provide yet.
  • There is no 12 GB RAM version and this disappointed us a little as we were looking forward to see what would be the performance of that mighty processor with a high RAM capacity, it is worth noting that the Galaxy Z Fold 2 comes with 12 GB RAM for the basic version.
  • The battery is not bad, but it is definitely not the best. Some may say that its capacity is excellent, but we remind everyone that this is a phone that consists of two screens with a refresh rate of 90 Hz along with five cameras, so Huawei had to put up at least a battery with a capacity of 5000 mAh.
  • The price of the phone is very high, which makes the experience of the new foldable phone from Huawei exclusive to the upper category of users only, which consists of the wealthy and businessmen and not the average user.

Huawei Mate X2 price

The price of Huawei Mate X2 is about $ 2785, which is equivalent to 43,666 EGP, for the 256 GB version and $ 2940 - 46 thousand pounds for 512 GB, which makes it the most expensive phone ever, but it is known for Huawei's pricing policy because it launched the previous generation (Xs). ) at a price of 2750 dollars, which equals 43100 pounds.

The Huawei Mate X2 was revealed on February 22, the price and schedule for launching the phone in the local Chinese market were also announced, and we are still waiting for any news from Huawei regarding the launch of the phone in global markets, including Egypt and the Middle East, although there is no confirmation So far, the phone will be launched in markets other than China.

In China, buyers were able to own the phone as of February 25, and Huawei is credited with launching the phone a few days after it was announced.

The experience of foldable phones still has not reached the form we all aspire to, these devices are still very expensive and have some flaws, but in the end there is no perfect phone because the world of smartphones is constantly evolving day after day.

Conclusion

Huawei Mate X2 is a phone that represents a great success for Huawei in creating a new folding technology and using it in a phone that comes with leading specifications in almost all aspects.

The device is the strongest competitor to the lineup Samsung phones Foldable like the Samsung Galaxy Fold and Galaxy Z Fold2 5G.
