If you want to know the latest on when the Huawei Mate X3 will release, read below for the current best Huawei Mate X3 release date prediction based on the latest rumors and info.
As the name suggests, Huawei Mate X3 isn’t the first device in the Mate X series. The company launched the first Mate X device a few years back, which was the first foldable smartphone from the company. The Mate X’s unique, breathtaking design turned quite a few heads. Unlike other foldable devices on the market, Mate X folds outwards, resulting in a front and rear display when folded. The Huawei device experience is also quite unique compared to other Android phones, thanks to the HarmonyOS.
After the Mate X, Huawei followed up the series with three more devices; Huawei Mate Xs, X2, and Huawei Mate Xs 2. And now, the company is speculated to release a new foldable smartphone in the upcoming weeks, Huawei Mate X3.

Huawei Mate X3 release date FAQs
When is the Huawei Mate X3 release date?
There has been no official Huawei Mate X3 release date released by the company as of yet, but there have been multiple rumors about it that all point to a similar time, and that time is fairly imminent.
Read our article for all the details.
Why do Huawei devices not have Google?
Ideally, Huawei should have access to Google and its services. Android is an open-sourced operating system, which is available in the public domain on the web and accessible to everyone for free.
Unfortunately for the company, the US government placed a ban on it, due to its ties with the Chinese state and fears of data espionage by the latter, which forced the company to stop using Google’s mobile service. Many users expected to get Google services back on Huawei devices in 2022. Sadly, it seems unlikely. 2022 is about to end, and the ban is still in effect.
Is it okay to buy a Huawei phone?
After Huawei got banned by the US government, there were a lot of rumors surrounding Huawei devices stating they are less secure than other Chinese devices.
There is no evidence of such security lapse on Huawei devices as such, however the use of the data by the Chinese state is still a potential issue. Ultimately whether or not this bothers you will depend on your personal political views (or those of the country you live in).
