Hi guys, so I made a mistake. For speed test, i tethered off my iPhone thinking it would test my 5G sim but I forgot that would be testing the iPhone’s modem not Huawei’s. However I did put my 5G sim IN the huawei mate 60 pro and that device got near 5G speeds. But yes for this video, pls ignore the speed test here.

Every time Huawei drops something I'm like: "Yo! Where's Ben!" Since he's basically the only big reviewer who still knows Huawei isn't out of the game. Great review too!

I think you missed out on the 'huawei near link' technology. After Huawei was expelled from the Bluetooth alliance, it combined the characteristics of Bluetooth and WIFL to create the "near link" and significantly led them. This is a major technological innovation.

Good for Huawei, before that crazy ban I had the Mate 7, Mate 9 and Mate 10. Huawei always been a great builder and innovator.

The controversial part is not the chip, but US action in curbing tech players like TSMC, Samsung etc in working with Huawei, manifesting US dictatorship in tech industry.

The focus of a mobile phone is not how small its chip is, but its functionality and network speed. A 7nm phone can reach 5.5G speeds and can also make satellite calls. Isn’t this the biggest breakthrough? On the other hand, in the United States, even if the iPhone 15 uses a 3-nanometer chip, it will be useless because there is no 5G network in the United States. Why do I think so? Because I live in San Francisco, there are actually places where there is no network signal.

Always feels good to see Playstore on Huawei phones

Nice Ben ,nice to see Huawei back where they belong , quality products and technology!! Ya Purple is cool !!!

TRULY A LEGENDARY COMEBACK FROM THEM & PRETTY HOPEFUL THEY WILL DOING GOOD IN THE FUTURE

x5 is different from x3 in another big way: x5 is capable of making 2-way satallite calls. it is the first consumer phone in the world capable of that.

huawei is a miracle. Huawei is still the best phone I had

Thanks Ben. The fact that Huawei is back with the Kirin processor is enough reason to buy it. I'm sure they will continue to revolutionize processors and pioneer technology in the near future. I can't wait for Mate X5 to hit the global market. "What I do is a guarantee of what I will do. " This is literally Huawei's motto. ❤

I've been waiting for this many days already. Thanks a lot, Ben! I trust you always.

Huawei is a blessing to the world of telecommunications and technology. It will continue to prevail continue to progress develop innovate to be self reliance self sufficient and to be free from colonial imperial bondage. Well done total support glory to Huawei

Speed is great, as fast as my LA home Wi-Fi speed. There is nothing controversial about the chip, it’s pointing a middle finger to US, good for you Huawei. I will buy one and use it in US just for that.

I ordered the mate 60 pro+ for some reason I'm rooting for Huawei

Totally agree Ben the kirin 9000s is a big deal! The fact that Huawei was able to do this ,has ruffled some feathers! If you can do without GServices, the mate X5 is a great foldable 👍. Thank you for the overview Ben🙂✌

Thanks for the review. Anytime there's a new phone out, I wait for Ben's review. I'm from the US and I'm glad Huawei found a way around the blocking of their technology. I love the purple! This might be the phone I was waiting for. Watching and commenting on my Huawei Mate 20x.

Hail Huawei! Let them all compete fair and square and we, the customers, will pick the winner(s).

Hi Bens, that video is great. The Chip industry needs a 3rd partner into the game to boost the lack of chip production in the world right now. Huawei and SMIC are moving in the right direction.

Thanks, you're the only one who really reviews huawei phone right on time!!!

My 2 cents I’ve never had access to use Huawei phones,cuz I like tech have always followed them and from what I can remember Man they made some amazing phone and in fact there camera tech was way ahead.I’m sure it made US & friends nervous and then came their downfall. I would support them any day as they are true underdogs and beat all odds and did the impossible..first their OS and now silicon makes them truly independent. Thanks Ben for bringing great content as always 🙏🙏

I’m so interested in the kirin 9000s drama

In India we get 3G speeds presented as 4G

Bro believe me I am loving Huawei mate x5 and mate 60 love the news about 5G. So happy for the I'm messaging on my mate 20 👍🏽

Nice work Ben thanks. I'm definitely more interested in a "X3" with this SoC, namely X5..

....it seems to be performing even better than the triple8... If you add something for the GPU-score they are probably closer to 8G1 in AnTuTu which were 5 and 4nm respectively... So this is quite impressive!

Love your videos. This was very informative and great! Thanks.

This 9000s chip is capable running over 1500mpbs.

i love your videos. Good job

Ben you're the goat already but listening to Jihyo's killing me good just cemented that even more! Haha great video as always brother love what Huawei is doing

Damn I can't wait switch my fold 5 to this 🔥

Another great review.

I'm rooting for Huawei. Im still holding on to my Mate 20 pro as my daily driver and hoping to change to this soon.

Your getting good internet speed and your tethering from another phone is awesome. I live in the US and don't get those speeds on my cellular network. I need to find this phone fast.

This is actually the best and beautiful foldable phone I’ve ever seen. So lit 🔥.

I'm using my mate 40 very much in love with it 😍

Continue to sell it on the European market p'ease. Your products are great and we buy it because of the quality and the technologies inside that are always at the top. We only want the best products at the correct price. We continue to support you and Don t let us down because of some stupid peoples.... Please sell it on the French market. 🙏👍🌺

Although this chip applies 7nm processing, its multi-core performance in Huawei phones can rival the 4nm Snap 8+, just its energy efficiency is almost equal to the 5nm Snap 888, and overall experience can rival iPhone 14 pro

Kudos To Huawei... Best Regards From South Africa l🇿🇦

This device packs more features than all so called 8gen2 chips combined.......innovation

Looks great nice Ben wish I could've got one USA needs to bring them back. I love the color is different.

in my country the unlucky number is 17 but.... the country you go to, the custom you find. congratulations as always Ben. Do you think it will be launched internationally? Greetings

hi Ben, the Mate X3 doesnt allow us to show outer screen as second viewfinder while in camera, how about the Mate X5?

Have mate40 pro+, just updated harmony 4, I installed Google service few months ago, everything works better than b4, like some app require Google account login, now it works, still need more testing

it looks gorgeous actually I tried it, and very good OS, smooth and user friendly. The size is just nice for one hand operating when it folds. Sadly, I am not ready to leave iOS yet, cause I have too many apple items, watch ultra, MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, my parents’ iPhones, watches

I'm intrigued on how they are going to market their devices globally in the future with 5G capability with their own chip. The only thing that keeps people off from buying Huawei's devices right now is because of Google apps availability. It's interesting to see how they would try to sway people from Google's side, because that is a monumental challenge.

The phone looks impressive

Ben I really like your reviews, truly and I really want you to make a review on Huawei watch ultimate❤ I want to know your opinion on this watch and also probably against Apple watch ultra

I think how good a phone works isn't just dependant on the chip size. That's just one part of performance. Like having a V8 vs V6 in a car. Bigger isn't always faster. In this case smaller. Other parts in the system also count in the overall performance of a machine. If you can make your own OS tailored to working with your own chip even if the chip size is bigger than the the latest version it can maybe be just as good as a 3 nano meter. Your custom software optimized to your own chip might be better than a bloated generic Android version using a more advanced chip. Looks like the 5g chip in the phone is faster than others too so that probably affects overall performance.

Actually the mix fold 3 has the best hinge, it doesn't fall flat close to the display like you said...

I heard from China that Huawei had release an update to the HOS, which unlocks the CPU chip which push the bench mark up....and originally showing only 6 cores...but now more than 6 cores.... so the CPU seems to be more than what 4 or 3nm Apple and Snapdragon got....Can't wait for Sept 25th when Huawei makes the official phone launch event

Finally a trustworthy review!

You one of those legit reviewers like i always say who still values Huawei. Loved this one as well. And I have been asking for it, never received a response or seen anywhere why you haven't still put out an in-depth video of the P60 Pro , like " A day with the P60 Pro " like those shots you shared on Insta. Now, I am looking forward to Mate 60 in-depth video , comparing iphone 15pro. Thanks for your effort Ben! Keep it coming! ✨

hi Ben, I saw you just unboxed this device but there was GSM on it. How did you do?

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

the smic 7n +2 is actually a 5nm design in the tsmc chip design. it has more density

Huawei phones were always top notch. I had the Mate 20X right before the stupid ban started. It was awesome and cameras were epic. Had Huawei not got Google banned I would still have one.

I would like to see some battery takes on these phones with that chip. Performance seems reasonable...but super curious how efficient it is with this unkown fabrication tech.

beautiful phone

Even I as a Samsung s23 ultra owner and fan , I admit I have massive respect for Huawei, Xiaomi, One Plus open, and Honor offer. Here in the US they actually think Apple is better than android , which is laughable. We can all agree as tech enthusiasts they are all way more innovative than Apple . The reason I like Samsung is Samsung has wireless powershare and charging, water resistance, s pen gestures and utilization when my fingers get tired and for photos from a distance , Samsung Members, Samsung health , Samsung flow , Dex , Samsung TV , wireless projection , etc

Hope next year Huawei does something crazy and make the the first 2nm chip . I also hopw they make affordable phones with the best performance and cameras.

Love X5! ❤❤❤❤❤

It's already available in South Africa.

Am no expert but I wonder why the smaller the nm are said to be better? Is it not referring to the size and more components fit into the tiny size? If one does not need tiny chip but able to produce, say 7nm and be able to put more stuff in it, is it not OK? Sorry if this question sound stupid.

Crazy comeback from Huawei the us sanctions made their r&d better .

Does this new Huawei foldable have the always on camera to scan for QR codes and barcodeslike the Mate 60?

That "CIA" part is just hilarious 🤣, Love your videos and its jokes man 🙌

How are the thermals? *every* high end sub "7nm" smartphone chip has overheating and throttling problems. The most recent Snapdragon that didn't have this was the 7nm 870 (which performs comparably to this). Some of them have been seeing -50% performance in some applications when they throttle, knocking them down to around the 870s level or even lower. Can the 9000s maintain high speeds for more than ~10 minutes? If it can, it's a keeper. If it can do that, it's a legitimate competitor on performance, and not just being sustained by buzz.

It's a bit pitty that X5 does not support the newsatellite call feature. Though it's understandable as it requires powerful atenna and colling system.

One of the best phone i have used this year above any flagship screen with dc dimming ye dc dimming Nubia Z50s pro

As far as I know Huawei has the play store substitute, their on GPS, their own search engine and more. Soon enough huawei will be rocking the Global market

wonder If that affected the speed test result or not when the phone was at low battery stage

Is this the phone with the 24/7 on back and front cameras to recognise laser scanners and QRcodes?

Could you please share the buying link 🙏

"If you import this in the US, CIA may knock on your door" 😂😂

Hi Ben, lets not forget the biggest chip maker in the world, ASML. Also, Samsung is using the ASML machines to make their chips so technically they can't make chips without ASML.

Hey Ben, you have a link for the GMS installation?

can you do selfies using the rear cam but use the front screen as a viewfinder? You can't do that on the mate x3.

Hold on, what? On the network speedtest, what do you mean you're tethering? If you're connected to the iPhone that has the sim card, the iPhone is the one making the connection and download speeds, not the Mate X5, that makes it not be a 5G speedtest, you're testing Wi-Fi on the Mate X5 while connected to a 5G hotspot (your iPhone). Am I missing something?

Huawei has also made the Nova 12 Ultra with the aforementioned Kirin 9000S chip, which may or may not further cement the fact that Huawei might mass produce these chips in the near future.

When did we get to Mate X5.. Where is the mate x4? It was never released after the mate x3

What about battery life and heat? are there any problems

China 🇨🇳 it's a great country. Deserve respect

I read somewhere that mate 60 and that phone is not for sale outside of china?

Pretty nice phone and good speed on that radio , to bad they can't sell this here in the US it's better than that Samsung fold 🤪😁😁

Anything is possible, making chips is science and takes time.

Thanks for the video. I have been told this phone has a "China version" and an "International version"... Is that true? Is it an OS issue? Thanks.

How’s the KZfaq experience on X5 please?

Dear Ben, Thanks for covering the phone. You say you don’t even have a SIM card in the X5. In this case, you were definitely not testing the cellular speed, just the Wi-Fi speed. You’ll have to put an actual SIM card into it and check the results.

Will this be available with a Global Rom anytime soon?

Please where can i order it from?? I can’t seem to buy from huawei site

thanks for sharing

My dream phone

not seeing this phone on trinity website, not even the mate 60 pro

Why is THERE A HUAWEI MATE X3 AND AT THESAMETIME A X5 ARE THEY TWO DIFFERENT VERSION OR FOR TWO DIFFERENT MARKETS ?

what is better: oppo find n3 or Huawei mate x5?

speaker is amazing

華為mate X5 有人從KZfaq 放上網的測試結果 👉 ( 1 ) 可以擋子彈 ( 2 ) 放在洗衣機內 , 開機15分鐘攪拌 , 拿出來一點事情都沒有 , 防水功能一絕 （3 ） 在高速公路上 以120米的時速..打開手機 , 直接掉下去 , 手機一點事情都沒有 , 只是有兩三條小花痕 , 而且最神奇的事 , 一夜之間 , 晶片從7納米變成5納米 , 衛星通訊連蘋果手機都沒有 , 華為這幾款手機 , 真是地球上最優秀的產品 🇨🇳👍

Does Huawei manufacture their own CPU's or are they manufactured by TSMC
