Have you noticed of all the existing folding phones, the Huawei Mate X3/X5 has the best rounded corners near the hinge. There is less corner bezel and its more rounded. Others have sharp corners or extra material from corner to display. I wrote an aricle with photo comparisons in the Huawei Community Forum.

As a samsung s23 ultra fan and user I have massive respect for Xiaomi and Huuwei and I wish they were easily available here in the US

[@dubbzz2349]

You shouldn't.

[@morm2173]

The Huawei mate x5 fold is phenomenal. It has micro SD card, every camera is incredible, 3 to 5 day battery, stylus pen works every screen , big front screen, emergency satellite crash etc it's amazing and I'm a big Samsung fan

[@Jamy4ya]

What ever you mentioned here are all X3 features already except the battery a little. But 3 to 5 days battery is nothing but sarcasm....

[@morm2173]

Thanks and welcome

Excited for the comparison

[@ConanYi-ws7ch]

Been waiting for this one! Great video! ❤

[@AverageDadOfficial]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@ConanYi-ws7ch]

Yes I did! Are you going to do a video on how to get google natively on the x5 or do you already have a video?

[@Altistblin]

Will you be able to update Google apps and Harmony OS without losing this option to have native gms? And how secure this hack do you think? Thank you

Awesome, watching this on a mate x3 and I concur with everything you said (except for when you called Harmony OS 4 a skin, it's not mate it's a different OS, 😅) . I just wish mine was had Harmony OS 4 so that I could get full Google services without gbox.

I'm am a Huawei fan mate 20 phone I have and I love it 👍🏽

[@sx200paul]

greatcpost as usual. Off topic. no one seems to mention esim compatibility on foldable phones in their reviews. these are really handy accessories. ive been wearing a chinese Android esim watch, stand alone calling, for 4 years. Chinese manufacturers all have esim watches. Vivo Xiaomi honor Huawei oppo etc but earlier foldable phones didn't have esim conpadibility, only Samsung..yuk!!. my vivo Xfold (1) doesn't. but i want my next foldable to sync with my next smartwatch. i just thought it would be good useful content that your users would be interrested to hear about. cheers from Aussie🇦🇺👍

[@kekeskia]

Do you still use the mate x5 ? I have opportunity to obtain one, at good Price... Do you know if we have to make the next harmony os updates ? (If harmonyos next happens, it will be the end of apk download... I'm little scary about this 😅)

[@AverageDadOfficial]

Yes we do

[@rdnax5775562]

... Kirin9000s is 5G... It simply wasn't explicitly declared as such in the release OS/ ROM. It's quite unlike that they reached over 500 Mbps on the existing 4G Networks...

[@elpabar]

Ah lalala!!! You have a second X5!!! Can you tell us if the way to install the GMS is easy or not? Is it risky? I asked 2 businesses that repair smartphones in my town if they would install GMS on Harmony OS 4, and both refused... I'd really like to buy it!

[@danieldorellazar305]

I'm using my Mate 20X. And i whould love to change it for the Mate 60 pro. But damn... It's 12 hundred... 😢

I gave my Mate 20x to my brother in law 3 years ago after i bought Note 20 Ultra. My o my its still so beautiful phone😊. Note 20 ultra sold it last year after fold 4 bought last year september. Its time for you to move for mate x5. I would like to have it too but who is gonna buy fold 4😢

[@danieldorellazar305]

@@abdullahiknouz I like the idea of a folding phone. But I don't like the square format of the unfolded screen. And 2000 bucks is too much money. So I'm gonna stick to normal phones for now 😜.

[@corvette8776]

Kirin 9000s chipset supports 5G connectivity. I can say this because the phone which I am currently typing on the comment section is Mate 60 Pro Plus.

[@itguyjoe]

To me it looks like the best hardware combined so far, Inc wireless charging, but how do you get Google services on it and can we trust it with our Google accounts?

[@henfreetravel]

Had been using a matepad pro 2021, and was very happy with Gms as it is really a battery sucker. My dad's Mate X5 is also so efficient in this matter. While I had the need of Gms on my magic v2, I could not be happier if it gms did not come natively. I could install only the apps I need (play store, books, YT Studio) and not the crappy ones (Gmail, Maps). No its different from from removing after preinstall. The only problem I had was with nearby share. Has anyone in that matter have a workaround?

[@Marsh1983]

More ram and native Google services on the OnePlus open for half the price. Camera's not too bad aswell.

[@AverageDadOfficial]

half the price? the Oneplus is £1600, the Huawei is £2000.... solid maths skills mate! Trust me... the cameras are not even close! But... i love the OnePlus

[@Marsh1983]

@@AverageDadOfficial got it with the £250 discount and 10% student discount. Just think the Huawei is overpriced even though it's a better phone. Also if you buy the 16gb ram version of the Huawei it's even more.

[@ashleyraboy6281]

Can I ask which stylus you prefer to use, and appears compatible with this device Huawei Mate X5? And any recommended safety protection cases for this model? Appreciate your valued advice and thoroughly enjoy your You Tube videos. Ashley

[@oliverodell3105]

This is a really good question as Huawei have a bit of a weird approach to their Stylus line up. The stylus packed with their tablets doesn't work, they sell a separate M Pen

[@AverageDadOfficial]

Hey, the pen i use is the official Huawei stylus...as fr cases.. i am a naked kind of guy!

[@shakrabani1098]

This phone versus OnePlus open will be good 💯

[@shakrabani1098]

Both look very similar too...but it was interesting to see the Huawei u can have 5 apps/app drawers spread across the screen rather than 4 on one plus

kirin 9000s is a 14 nm improved 7nm and it have 5g and harnonyOS is not a skin and every huawei can get google stuff by help old ones have.

[@AverageDadOfficial]

point?

[@theamazingpatrickeditor]

i mean not a bad phone but just like samsung not a lot of inovation. thee difference vs the mate x3. 4 g heavier, 260mah bigger battery, different chip which is about the same speed.

[@AdmiralBison]

Screw Google Android and I recon Atlantic trade agreements are written up by US corporations. Less competition for them in certain markets. Xoami, Huwei etc.. ought to just have full on Linux refined for mobiles on their devices.

[@Jamy4ya]

You dont literally need Mate X5 untill unless you are dying for 5G band (which i dont) and few extra battery juice i.e 260mah from the X3. Or else there is aint difference between the X3 and X5.

[@AverageDadOfficial]

Pretty much! better chip but not by far

[@blacksheepshepherd]

Thank You for seeing the truth from all the BS thrown in by political issues.

[@MfokaZinqaObala]

X3 doesn't have have 5G but X5 does

[@androidemulation5952]

2 things prevent me from buying one. Google services, and the chip type. 7nm chip at this stage is just too old and inefficient. otherwise, the device is really great.

[@oliverodell3105]

I have to say I thought exactly the same thing and imagined apps I wouldn't be able to get and a worse battery life due to the nm of the chip... The reality is different though. In real world use the battery life is miles ahead of the iphone pro max 13 I came from and whilst different the whole experience is so silky.

[@androidemulation5952]

@@oliverodell3105 even if the power consumption is not an issue, the performance is also not that great. the performance of Kirin 9000S can barely compete with SD 888. most of the new foldables uses SD 8 gen 2. so, you're paying $3000 for a device that is 2 generations behind competition which can be obtained at a lower price. also, if you're into emulation, then you would know that some emulators won't work on Chinese chips such as kirin. Huawei is a great company, it's just being held back by external factors. otherwise, I believe they would have destroyed all competition

5G.... check specs

[@kpehe100]

No that's wrong, we want to see the person that is talking to us

[@K22MDL]

Still NO 5G and NO ANDROID AUTO. Total non-starter still for me. Such a shame, Huawei were the best until Trump put the boot in. The hack to get Google services doesn't work fully on a lot of apps, as an example try getting your Ring Door Bell and home alarm system working consistantly - it doesn't. I'm still using yet another over-priced Samsung Fold 5 and the new One Plus Open. I'd give both up to use a proper 5G Google services Mate X5 it it were available.

[@t_o_n_k_a_t_a]

I do not recommend buying Huawei devices if you want to use Google services. From January 2024, Huawei will remove Google libraries from Harmony OS. What does this mean in English? You won't be able to install GMS on Huawei devices like before! If you can live without GMS then you can buy a Huawei device. Otherwise, just don't buy it!

[@matsstamos7490]

What's the point? Vivo has better specs and is cheaper.

@@AverageDadOfficialHi :) I am very new to your channel and I just kind of „stranded“ here because a close (Chinese) business-friend of my dad gifted me with a huawei mate x5 yesterday. I never was a „smartphone girl“, always used my iPhones until they literally fell apart 😅, but I do love to take great pictures, which is why I am tempted to actually keep the matex5 instead of selling it. BUT I have a huge problem with grasping my options when it comes to the possibilities I have regarding certain apps we Europeans use very frequently. Is there still the possibility to install those apps on a phone bought in china or not at all? My husband got the same phone and unlike me he already unpacked it. He had the trouble that the newsfeed on the screen when you swipe right is still in Chinese even though he changed languages and his Audible app doesn’t work. Also you can’t switch incoming calls to wlan, so if there is no service, you can’t make calls. I am a doctor, not a tech person, can you give us some advice please! ❤
