The phones are launching in China now and will go to Europe in early May — but are you ready to live without 5G and Google Play?
Huawei’s new P60 series became available in China this week (with the P60 Art launching next week), the company’s new foldable flagship is a few weeks out. Both flagship series are set for a European launch on May 9, so they will be available in a bunch of markets. But would you actually buy one?
Let’s start with the Huawei Mate X3, a light (239g) foldable with large displays (7.85” main, 6.4” cover, both 120Hz), IPX8 water resistance rating (unheard of outside of Samsung’s lineup) and a 50+8+13MP camera trio that includes a 5x periscope (125mm).
This phone is not cheap by any means – at CNY 13,000 ($2,000/€1,740 or so) it matches the Galaxy Z Fold4 price and costs more than the vivo X Fold+ (CNY 10,000), Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 (CNY 9,000), Oppo Find N2 (CNY 8,000).
