Huawei Mate X3 is a rumoured foldable smartphone that is tipped to launch in China by the end of this month. It is expected to succeed the Huawei Mate X2 that was released in February 2021. The Chinese tech giant has not made an official announcement regarding the release of this handset. However, it has been spotted on various certification sites, including the recent China Compulsory Certification (3C) listing. The alleged 3C listing suggests that the Huawei Mate X3 will be able to support up to 66W fast charging.
According to a recent report by Huawei Central, the Huawei Mate X3 foldable smartphone could be launched in China by the end of April. This smartphone was reportedly also spotted on the 3C certification site with the model number PAL-AL00. As mentioned earlier, the listed handset is said to support up to 66W fast charging.
