Super expensive... But going to keep my eyes on it within the next 2 years when price goes down then I'm striking. Phones are becoming 5 - 10 year devices now. I'm still using the Huawei mate 20 x from 2018 today
This is a very thorough review of the mate x3. I've imported this device to the U.S. and still waiting for it to be delivered. Thank you for the walkthrough specially on installing Google services.
Will you please make a video about your experience using it in the us? I want to know specifically how the Google alternatives perform, and what kind of coverage you get without the 5g chip.
Even though I can't afford it right now, I am happy to see it as an huge step on foldable phone (battery capacity, thickness, crease reduction, etc.) . I hope these phones become affordable in a near future without compromising anything
this is by far the best foldable period im in the us and preorderd the pixel fold and will be ordering this one instead. Great review by the way ive used huawei devices in the past and loved them all. Im hearing the us sanctions are taking a little step back too so hopefully they eventually allow them back in because we surley need the competition over here with samsung running this with their foldables here and pale in comparision to phones like this.
If it had google natively, 5g, 8k video then yes it probably would be the best foldable. I would choose it over a samsung fold or pixel fold 100% but no google and no 5g....absolutely trash.
@@redstang70 well the google work around is fine, but yeah 5g is prob why I won’t choose this not trash by any means but it’s all subjective and ok to have your own opinions
MY 2023 list : 1. Huawei mate x5 foldable 1 tb simply brilliant it has absolutely everything devoid of nothing 2. My glorious incredible Samsung s23 ultra most fun phone ive ever owned 3. ONE PLUS OPEN good hinge 4. XIAOMI MIX FOLD 3 excellent design 5. PIXEL 8 PRO impressive AI 6. Iphone 15 pro max 1 tb The Huawei mate x5 fold is phenomenal. It has micro SD card, every camera is incredible, 3 to 5 day battery, stylus pen works every screen , big front screen, emergency satellite crash etc it's amazing and I'm a big Samsung fan
I really love the review but what I'm missing in every review is desktop setup over docking station. Supported resolutions, emui desktop environment, performance, settings in desktop etc.
I have this device and love it. Samsung software is better for split screens. Also, VoLTE with tmobile does not work, so no Internet with tmobile in the USA when on phone calls. I hear back from tmobile on Saturday, as they never called me back 2 months ago, so I called them last night. This phone would be perfect if you can get most apps to split horizontally. Horizontal split screen only works when phone is closed for most apps, everything else is vertical split down the middle with a screen on the left or right. Hopefully Samsung catches up on the hardware side, since their software is better than Huawei right now. I just wish there wasn't a VoLTE issue with tmobile
Does the phone work with the GSM ATT bands in the US? I've owned GSM unlocked phone like the Razer phone before ATT adopted it and it worked like absolute shit.
Hi, I would like a foldable for next phone. What the situation on software updates,and security updates. My mate 20pro UK purchased late 2018 had a small software update last month,but security updates was May 22. I cant complain phone still in excellent condition,So the Huawei x3 is top of list
Any idea how to have the Always on Display actually always on? Not have to tap to show it? I have chinese and Global version and neither will let me change that setting..
Why can't those mobile phones manufacturers create the foldable mobile phone using the same size similar to size of the flat phone that has been their principal device on the market. For example Samsung may adap the size of its Galaxy S23 Ultra and with the same size just add up another handphone attach it with the principal handphone the S23 Ultra making a foldable fold that's more practical, Therefore the the size of the Z Fold will be double the size of the Galaxy S23 Ultra when open. Samsung made a wrong move by creating foldable handphone that is smaller in size like Samsung did on the Z Fold series. Honor has made an ideal foldable handphone, the Honor Magic V2 that is now seen as the best foldable on the market. The size of the Honor Magic V2 when fold it is the same size as its principal flat handphone. Not only that the Honor Magic V2 is really so thin and it's pretty light. So comfortable. Users will use the Honor Magic V2 like ordinary handphone utilizing the main screen as its size is similar to Honor principal flat handphone. The foldable will be open only when users need to have better viewing such as viewing videos, playing games, designing and so on. Anyway, initially I intended to purchase the Z Fold 5, but after viewing the many reviews on the Honor Magic V2 then I decided to wait for the launching of the Honor Magic V2. Definitely I will buy it because I feel it is more superior than the Galaxy Z Fold 5.💖 🌹
@@TechMagnet it's still a good review don't get me wrong but you said it's waterproof it isn't, it's water resistant , my Huawei mate 50 pro is ip68 dust and water resistant which a higher rating and this has developed and issue with water inside one of camera lens
ip 68 norme is 30 min under 1.5meter . I test it with my p30pro and it works very good. You have an option of sound inside water when you film . So .... it is very good . Look at test on youtube about ip68 tests
king of foldable is vivo x fold, period. Samsung: ugly narrow screen + gab. Huawei: no Google. xiaomi, oppo, and Honor: smaller than vivo that have an 8,03-inch screen and beast hardware.

The largest screen on a non foldable phone (7.2 inches). 😎👍
Me2 but iv recently patterned locked myself out from my 20x, is there any way you can save your data and unlock the phone.?
I also use my huawei mate 20
How is the battery holding up after all this time? Can it still last a day?
I just wish it had google playstore on it.
Just amazing huawei mate x3.

What website did you import it from??
Hi, how was it?
Dman thats thin, the only thing stopping it from being thinner is the type c charger😂😂😂😂
😅

love your videos mate always very detailed.
We need a comparison between the mate x3, pixel fold, oppo find n3 and the xiaomi mix fold 3 😱
thats a good idea haha
I currently own the z fold 3, so I'm actually waiting for them to drop so I can upgrade to one of them 👍
@@TechMagnetPlease compare the Mate X3 vs the Vivo X Fold 2.

Thanks for the video and the very useful information! Weiter so!

That would be an interesting video on its own.
are you also reviewing the pxiel fold ?

Bro chose the nastiest looking water to submerge his phone into
Best fold ever
Always Huawei ❤️💕
lovely shots man
is it possible to qatch youtube or any other video when phone is half open on the upper screen?
Does the phone work with the GSM ATT bands in the US? I've owned GSM unlocked phone like the Razer phone before ATT adopted it and it worked like absolute shit.
if it wouldnt be so expensive i would buy
You're not the target audience for the Mate X3. The price reflects that.
Move on.
hey your daughter watches galinha pintadinha? its a very famous brazilian cartoon here, that was the stuff when i was 3 lool
thanks for the review
I oredered one. HUAWEI FOREVER
Great review! but why no harmony OS ?
HarmonyOS is only for Chinese market, but it is basically the same.
If it wasn't for that China/US crap, I'd buy the Huawei Fold. It's the best phone Samsung won't give us out here
1:31 I have the same phone, did you receive already the Harmony OS update?
Now Huawei has the best foldable phone
the price though... 2grand ?!?!?
The background music is cute. Lol
Hi,
I would like a foldable for next phone.
What the situation on software updates,and security updates.
My mate 20pro UK purchased late 2018 had a small software update last month,but security updates was May 22.
I cant complain phone still in excellent condition,So the Huawei x3 is top of list
How about in app purchase for games? How does it works since it does not have playstore anymore?
Any idea how to have the Always on Display actually always on? Not have to tap to show it? I have chinese and Global version and neither will let me change that setting..
Good vid. But you lowered the value of the device by having the name "Luton" on the home screen 😂😂😂
What website did you import this from?
How to automatically turn off the display when you fold it?
Just like Fold 4.. when you close it or fold it.
The main display turns off also
the last version software on Mate x2 had this setting, I don't know why the hell Huawei removes this setting on Mate X3😅😅😅
The X5 has a setting that let's you turn off when closing.
what do you think about 4g only ?
You need to ask US government
I honestly don't miss 5G. When switching back and forth between my X5 and the the Fold, to me it is not that much of a difference in real world use.
the older Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 is even slimmer than what you are holding
kunlun glass is good. my mate fell no damage
does huawei pay work in germany ?
You can pay in Rossmann with it
For the price, im better off getting a iMac. With spare change left over. Lol
Maybe after man has gone to Mars will I own a foldable phone. By this time, I'm sure I'll be watching a hologram display..
The Tesla phone 😂
this guy is huawei expert hahahhaah
whats the battery life in full screen ?
I can't find Gbox can you send a download link
The honor magic Vs is also good

My Mate 40 doesn't have gbox
No Stylus Support like the Mate 20x 👎❗️..Beautiful screen no Stylus! ..Big letdown❗️ ..wait for the Mate 4x Fold !
Whn launch this in India
just imagine this on the hub :D
Will google pay work on this in uk
Yes. You can configure it to work.
Bitte in Zukunft auch Videos auf Deutsch veröffentlichen. Englische Videos gibt es schon genug.
keep going your videos are best detailed.
Just wondering, is it 5G applicable?
It's not mate x 3 is 4g
I checked the price of this phone it costs £1999 that is tgh meaning too god damn high for a phone
Android auto works?
yes, it does
Honor magic v2 is the best.
i like it but there is one problems with foldable devices it can cause screen problem after open and close too much after one year
whats your name in genshin impact ?
Will this phone connect with a cars android auto?
it does, I managed to make it work
@@aljogabot how did you do it?
does GPAY work across all regions (India?)
It sucks. This phone is £450 more expensive to buy in the UK than in China......
wow that design is great but software...
This software looks too much like apple, they literally copy the iOS and added a little twist smh
It's not waterproof it's water resistant two different things please don't mislead people
Ipx8 can be submerged in water. Even showed that in the video. What more do you want ? Dive with it ? 🤣
@@TechMagnet it's still a good review don't get me wrong but you said it's waterproof it isn't, it's water resistant , my Huawei mate 50 pro is ip68 dust and water resistant which a higher rating and this has developed and issue with water inside one of camera lens

Looks nasty unfortunately living in the USA no carrier allows there phones on there network so I had to get the pixel fold
You can. I'm in the US, use the Mate X5 on both Verizon and ATT.
Sorry but IF HUAWEI could still use Google & 5G, Samsung Fold would be in 2nd place!
If u need camera do not buy it. Mate 30 pro got better one
ПОДАРУНОК ("ПОДАРУНКОВЬІЙ НАБІР") 1-РІВНЯ !...
When you drop it in the toilet it is no problem he says, TROW IT AWAY IMMEDIATLY.
i fall asleep to his voice.
Useless if it doesn't work in the USA...
A lot of countries in the world kid not just USA
@@9oth you're kidding yourself if you think any other besides the US matter "kid"
@@C0VID-19 who cares about US bro. the quantities they sell in china, Google can dream of pixel folds in US XD
no google, 101% useless.
without google play, you cannot maximize the use of that foldable smartphone
spytech from china ;)
king of foldable is vivo x fold, period.
Samsung: ugly narrow screen + gab.
Huawei: no Google.
xiaomi, oppo, and Honor: smaller than vivo that have an 8,03-inch screen and beast hardware.
1900 euros on Chinese crap 😂😂
you do know most iPhones are made in China
that zoom is so useless
Are there any cases for this phone?
