Huawei presents the foldable smartphone Mate X3 for the European market in Munich. The P60 Pro is another flagship smartphone in the classic form factor.
Huawei unveiled the Mate X3 foldable smartphone and the P60 Pro as a standard smartphone for the Chinese market back in March. Now the two smartphones are also coming to Europe. However, the foldable will not make it to Switzerland
Huawei Mate X3: Foldable without fear of water
The Huawei Mate X3 is a waterproof foldable phone with IPX8 certification. This means it can be submerged in one metre of water for 30 minutes without being damaged. This is not a matter of course for a smartphone with so many moving parts.
The Mate X3 has two OLED displays. This makes it similar, for example, to the Galaxy Fold 4 from Samsung. It weighs 239 grams. The inner display of the foldable smartphone measures 7.85 inches. The outer display is 6.4 inches. It is 5.3 millimetres thick when unfolded and 11.8 millimetres when folded. In comparison, the Samsung Foldable measures 6.3 millimetres when unfolded and 12.8 millimetres when closed.

The Huawei Mate X3 has three cameras on the back: a 50-megapixel main camera and a 13-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera that can also take macro shots, as well as a 12-megapixel telephoto camera with five-fold zoom.
The 4800 mAh battery can be charged with up to 66 watts - wirelessly with up to 50 watts. The Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 is installed in a 4G version.
Huawei P60 Pro: every white model is unique
Optically, the Rococo Pearl colour variant of the Huawei P60 Pro stands out. With a pearl structure made from mineral pearl powder on the back, each piece is unique. The classic black model has a crystalline surface that protects against fingerprints.

The camera module design of the Huawei P60 Pro has an interesting shape. The 48-megapixel main camera is placed much larger in the centre of the module. The telephoto and ultra-wide-angle lenses are distributed above and below the main camera. The telephoto camera has a resolution of 48 megapixels, the ultra-wide-angle camera 13 megapixels. The latter also applies to the front camera.
Huawei has installed a 6.67-inch OLED display with a resolution of 2700 × 1220 pixels in the P60 Pro. The refresh rate is up to 120 hertz and adapts to your usage. The smartphone has a "3D weather always on display", which can always show the weather and notifications.
The processor is the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 from Qualcomm in the 4G version.
The P60 Pro has a 4815 mAh battery that can be charged with an 88-watt power adapter. This means it only takes 10 minutes to charge to 50 per cent. Wireless charging with 50 watts is also possible. The phone weighs 200 grams and is 8.3 millimetres thick. It is water and dust resistant according to IP68 certification.
Prices and availability
As the USA sanctions against Huawei are still in place, the smartphones will also be released here without Google services and only as 4G variants instead of 5G. For Europe, Huawei is relying on the open-source version of Android and the EMUI 14 user interface with its own app store.
The Huawei Mate X3 is available in Europe in dark green and black for 2199 euros each. However, the foldable will not make it to Switzerland via official channels.
The Huawei P60 Pro is available from us in the colours Rococo Pearl and Black. The price for the version with eight gigabytes of RAM and 256 gigabytes of storage space is 1199 francs or euros.
