XS essence still available

Huawei continues its different design for the Mate XS 2 from other folding models. The building materials stand out and this device is made from aerospace titanium alloy (the same one used by Apple) along with fiberglass. Hinge reinforced and the construction of the screen itself promises good resistance to bends.

The processor it is wearing is from the previous generation Snapdragon 888 4G, which did not have the option to use 5G due to the American veto. It’s a big loss for the Mate XS 2, as its predecessor can use 5G with its Kirin processor. A significant competitive disadvantage against its rivals, which it is trying to mitigate with its first tri-band WiFi technology. It works this way on one 2.4 GHz band and two 5 GHz bands to improve connectivity (as long as the router allows).

But the main character is the screen, folding, no visible wrinkles and with two formats. When opened, it’s a 7.8-inch mobile with a format that looks more like a tablet than a regular phone. A phone in a fairly vertical shape when foldedIn the style of Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3.

However, this device does not have two screens, only one that folds out. It drops to 6.5 inches when folded, but retains the high refresh rate of 120 Hz. The maximum resolution displayed is 2480 × 2200 pixelswhen folded, it goes down to 2480 × 1176 pixels.

The battery that powers it is 4,600 mAh (4,880 mAh in the collector version), along with the battery 66W fast charging. The photography section consists of three sensors: a 50-megapixel main sensor, a 13-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, and an 8-megapixel telephoto lens. optically promising three magnifications.
