24 hours later with Huawei’s Mat colleague – also known as the first smartphone in the world – I have this to say: The grandmother did not wear it.
I tried Mate XT twice before, shortly after its launch Last SeptemberThen again in February after that It was launched outside China. But now, Huawei has already been ready to allow me to review its unique devices, which will bring you exchange rates today to a little less than $ 4000.
Next week, I will spend my SIM XT SIM card, where I used to live with the usual Triple The Position and there is no support for the usual Google phone services, but one day, I was counted that I was participating first – or was it a third? Impressions and a set of images.
There are already three ways to use XT: as a regular phone with a 6.4 -inch screen, in a box -like box Other folds Its measuring 7.9 inches, or fully opened in what a 10.2 -inch tablet is.
It is a little normal to open it at first. Since every part folded in a different direction, it took me a few hours to get used to the place where I am pushing and where I withdrew, and I spent most of this modification period in anxiety, I was about to pick up something. Once it is discovered, the process is somewhat satisfactory, even if opening the phone is a bilateral task at all.
The three parts are attached to a magnetic when closed, and they are at least Feel Strong, even if I did not trust this thing to stay on it. You will also have to live with a part of the screen that is permanently exposed to the right edge of the phone, and the front screen doubles with the back of the phone when it is open in the middle of the road. Scratches – fingerprint stains – are inevitable.
It is not surprising, it’s thicker than your medium phone, heavier, but it is more comfortable than you think. It is also thinner and lighter than the 10 -inch medium tablet, so all this is a perspective perspective.
It is difficult to know that, but Huawei has sparked the body: in its thinner, it is actually less than even Oppo’s Find N5But the third of the phone with the USB-C port is thicker hair.
Let’s get out of the program’s question about the road: No, this has no official support for Google Mobile services, which means that there is no play store or Google applications – at least not outside the box. Moving all the things that Google is easier than ever, and this means that it takes an hour and is a little headache, but if you can get it, then you get mainly the regular Android experience.
With the help of open source tools such as the Aurora and Microg Store, I got all the Android and Google app that you tried and operated, with a single (understandable) exception from the Google port. I will miss NFC payments, but everything else works.
Will they work forever? I don’t know. Will they update properly? I have no idea either. Does every Sideloaling application offers every completely new set of exciting front weaknesses in my life? almost!
I also do not know how much time will be allowed by this type of preparation. My Mate XT works on Harmonyos 4.2, which still has a little Android in his heart. But the company is moving slowly towards Next HarmonyIt is not compatible with Android applications at all, so the following repetition of Mate XT – or just updating the following program – may kill Android support for good.
Just as on Android Tablet, some applications are better used for the full screen than others. It is about the perfect volume of broadcasting, but Instagram does not have any idea of what to do with all the additional space.
Multiple tasks are somewhat essential, too. You must mean three screens three applications, right? mistake. The division mode supports only two at once, and if you want a third, it will have to be an embarrassing “floating window” in the way of something else.
In 24 hours, I can confirm that Mate XT looks like geometric miracle. Whether it is a phone, anyone should drop four of what I will spend next week to get to know.
