FinancialMediaGuide notes that Huawei has once again attracted attention with the release of its new foldable smartphone, the Mate X7, which, priced at €2100, promises to be a flagship device with advanced displays, a powerful camera, and high-end specifications. However, several significant limitations, such as the lack of 5G and less impressive charging and performance metrics, cast doubt on its competitiveness amidst the rapid changes in mobile technology.
According to FinancialMediaGuide, the absence of 5G in this smartphone could become its main limitation, especially for users who rely on fifth-generation networks. In this context, despite its high price and appealing features, the Mate X7 risks being less popular than devices from other major manufacturers that have already offered 5G support in their top models.
The Huawei Mate X7 is equipped with two OLED displays, one with a 8-inch diagonal and the other with 6.49 inches, offering resolutions of 2416×2210 and 2444×1080 pixels respectively. Both screens support a variable refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz, ensuring smooth operation and excellent image quality. The peak brightness of the main screen reaches 2500 nits, while the secondary screen can reach 3000 nits, making the device usable even in bright sunlight.
The performance of the Mate X7 is powered by the Kirin 9030 Pro chipset, paired with 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of internal storage. This configuration allows the smartphone to handle most tasks, but compared to more modern competitor chipsets, such as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, the Mate X7’s specifications may appear somewhat outdated. The device’s cameras offer excellent shooting quality, including a 50 MP main camera and a 40 MP ultra-wide camera. However, in the future, the competitiveness of this device in mobile photography will depend on the implementation of more advanced technologies.
The 5300 mAh battery and support for 66W fast charging allow the Mate X7 to last throughout the day, but competitors like Xiaomi already offer solutions with charging power up to 120W, making this option less innovative.
The lack of 5G in the Huawei Mate X7, in our opinion, is the most significant limitation. As 5G is rapidly expanding worldwide and becoming the standard for flagship devices, Huawei’s decision to omit 5G may prove to be a decisive factor for consumers when choosing a device.
We at Financial Media Guide believe that in order to remain competitive in international markets, Huawei must update its technology and ensure 5G support in future models. This will be especially important in markets like Europe and the U.S., where 5G has already become the standard for most premium devices.
