5G Huawei Mate 20 X coming for those of you that don't want a foldable phone
The 4G LTE Huawei Mate 20 X model
The device in question will be a special 5G variant of the ginormous Huawei Mate 20 X which was announced last October. Presumably, Huawei chose this model over the Mate 20 Pro and upcoming P30 series because of its large 7.2-inch display. After all, 5G network speeds are set to benefit media consumption drastically.
If you choose to purchase this phone, Android 9 Pie straight out of the box paired with the EMUI 9 overlay is to be expected. The device also packs a massive 5,000mAh battery which also supports 22.5W fast charging, although there isn’t any wireless charging support.
As for the Huawei Mate 20 X 5G’s release date, no specific date has been provided yet but a release sometime during the second quarter is to be expected. No pricing details have been announced either. However, the current 4G LTE version costs €899 ($1,022) across most of Europe so a 5G version will likely cost in the region of €1,000 ($1,137).
