The company introduced a few weeks ago, today we have it confirmed Huawei Mate Xs 2 officially lands in Spainstrengthening the offer on the folding smartphone market, an ecosystem that is still quite small and in which any novelty is more than welcome.

And the fact is that although some brands have opted for these new formats, the truth is that demand for them is still low today, which means that the final price of these terminals is relatively high … something that in turn hinders its further spread. in our pockets. A vicious circle that is hard to break and why I believe that technology companies that dare to bet on these formats considerable effort that is worth mentioning.

Such is the case with this Huawei Mate Xs 2, a folding folding Huawei comes with lots of lights but also a few shadows which can complicate your business performance. We see your specifications and check these points

Huawei Mate Xs 2: technical specifications

The first thing, and without a doubt the most stunning, that we see on the Huawei Mate Xs 2, is, of course, its screen. Unlike other folding devices, in which two screens are mounted without separation between them, this time we are placed in front of a folding screen, which covers the entire outer surface of the device. It is built 7.8-inch OLED panel with a resolution of 2,480 x 2,200 pixels with a relatively square aspect ratio of 8: 7.1.

The moment we pass it its size is 6.5 inches with a resolution of 1,176 x 2,480 pixels in a much longer 19: 9 aspect ratio. In both cases, the Huawei Mate Xs 2 screen offers a refresh rate of up to 120 hertzand has an anti-reflective coating that enhances the user experience in bright environments.

Now we make a jump inside him and there we find one of his shadows because Huawei Mate Xs 2 is supported by SoC Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 4G. Surprisingly, you won’t find a more up-to-date integrated one, and even more so that Huawei has opted for a version without 5G mobile connectivity. Maybe it’s a cost reduction, maybe because of the problems the company is facing after the blockade in the United States, but the feeling is that we see a Formula 1 car from this season, but equipped with an engine from the previous season. It is still undoubtedly a great engine, but compared to its competitors in worse conditions.

I insist on this point because I think it’s something important, the Snapdragon 888 is an excellent SoC, not in vain did it be chosen by many of the top offerers in 2021. The problem is that Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, its successor, will soon be on the market for half a year, and in two days we expect the release of its update, Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Plus, which coincidentally may also debut together with Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 4G. That’s why I think the selection of this SoC for Huawei Mate Xs 2 is a bit lacking in the overall set.

Otherwise, SoC relies on 8 gigabytes of RAMdecent amount and some engaging 512 gigabytes of storage, the amount that we usually find only in higher versions of 4G bumpers. and that the Huawei Mate Xs 2 is a standard option. The entire set is powered by a 4,600 milliampere battery with a 66-watt fast charge function.

As for its connectivity, it’s determined by the chosen SoC, so it’s most remarkable its mobile connection is 4G. This is at the peak of the range of 2022 something that is hardly justifiable, and therefore a point that may negatively affect its market acceptance. Otherwise, it has WiFi 6 (2.4 and 5 gigahertz), Bluetooth 5.2 and NFC.

The main camera Huawei Mate Xs 2 relies on three elements, and 50 megapixel main sensor with number f / 1.8, a 13 megapixels widescreen f / 2.2 aa 8 megapixel telephoto lens f / 2.4 with 3x optical zoom. As for the front camera, it is located in the hole in the upper right corner of the screen and is based on a 10.7 megapixel sensor with the number f / 2.2. A very interesting feature is mirror shootingbecause it allows users to preview images they are about to take or record on the screen using either of its two cameras. Very clever use of its folding screen.

And we end the review of Huawei Mate Xs 2 its operating system, which, as you may have already imagined, is none other than HarmonyOS. The company has little room for maneuver in this regard after the United States vetoed it on the use of technology from the country, which precludes it from using Android. The problem is that for many users, the inability to count on Google services is a problem, sorry for the redundancy. So this is another of the shadows that spoils the smartphone, which otherwise deserves exceptionality.

Given that Huawei has announced its arrival in Spain, we can understand that its sale will take place soon and its price is € 1,999.
