Huawei, continuing its efforts under the shadow of sanctions, is working to diversify its product range. Last week, the Chinese manufacturer introduced the Mate 60 Pro model to users, which is its first 5G phone after the sanctions. Following this device, today, Huawei introduced the Mate X5, a competitor to the Galaxy Z Fold 5. So, what does the foldable phone offer?

The Huawei Mate X5 features a cover display with a 6.4-inch 2504 x 1080 pixel Full HD+ resolution with a touch sampling rate of up to 300Hz. The internal panel of the foldable phone is 7.85 inches in size with a resolution of 2496 x 2224 and can achieve a touch sampling rate of up to 240Hz. Both screens support a 120Hz refresh rate and utilize AMOLED LTPO technology.
