A Weibo tipster shared some interesting bits about Huawei's upcoming Mate X3 foldable phone. According to the report, it launch before the Huawei P60 series, meaning it's going to be the company's next flagship to debut.
The Mate X3 is said to feature
next-generation satellite communication, allowing Mate X3 owners to send and
receive short messages, using the direct satellite network. It will even
support sending voice messages, in a marked upgrade over the first
implementations of the functionality. The current Huawei Mate 50 can only send
text messages without receiving them.
It's a niche feature, that's for sure, but
having the ability to send and receive messages when there's no coverage is
kind of impressive. Also, it may not come in handy in your day-to-day life, but
if end up needing it, it could be a literal lifesaver.
