Huawei Mate 20 X 5G to hit China on July 26

Fully unveiled by Huawei at the end of June, the impressive Mate 20 X 5G phablet is scheduled to launch in China on July 26. The first 5G smartphone/phablet of China's top tech giant will hit its home market during a special event that will take place at the Shenzhen Huawei Putian Base. Although the event has not been announced yet, the insiders who spilled the beans to Daily Economic News are apparently very reliable sources.

The highlights of the Huawei Mate 20 X 5G include a HiSilicon Kirin 980 processor, a Balong 5000 5G modem, 6 GB of memory and 128 GB of internal storage space, microSD support up to 256 GB, a 7.2-inch OLED display with a waterdrop notch, a triple camera on the back with 40 + 20 + 8 MP sensors, a 24 MP selfie shooter, all driven by a 4,200 mAh battery with support for 40 W fast charging.

Currently available for pre-order in UAE, the Mate 20 X 5G is expected to cost around CN¥7,500 in China — roughly US$1,100. For now, it seems that the only color available is Emerald Green, but we have no doubt that other choices will become available sooner or later.
