 Hey guys, Thunder E here and first off I just want to say hopefully everyone is staying safe, healthy. I know most of us are at home and it's a tough time now and I just want to send out just some good wishes to everyone. Please stay safe if you are sick. Hopefully you get better soon and hopefully this video is something fun that you would enjoy as we make it. So I finally got to check out the Mate XS. Now if you remember the Mate X came out last year. Daniel got his hands on the device. It's a solid device and the Mate XS is the latest foldable from Huawei. It costs about $2,500 but this device is very different in terms of what you have for foldables. It doesn't close up, it opens up. It's an 8-inch display that falls into a 6.6 for a smartphone. It feels like a smartphone in that aspect ratio. This display is actually quite lovely in terms of resolution, brightness. The wallpapers look good. Yes, the link to it will be down there for you guys below. It's a sharp and beautiful looking display. I think a lot of people will like just the way it looks. Now the display doesn't necessarily bend and stay. You've got a button that actually opens it up for you and then you can straighten it out and you can close it back if you want to use tablet or phone mode. In terms of specs, you've got of course Kirin 990 5G variant. It's a 790 minute chipset, 8 gigs of RAM, 512 gigabytes of storage, no microSD expansion, no headphone jack. That's to be expected with this kind of phone factor but there's a lot there for us to check out of course games which is what we like to do on this channel. We got to check out a few games. We also got to check out the audio, did some temp. So let's start off with some gaming and take a look at some of the games we actually played which you can download directly from the App Store and yeah, so let's jump in. So gaming wise, I mean it handles well. I mean it's supposed to and it does and that's the thing I like about it. With 8 gigs around which in comparison to a lot of devices now seems quite small. RAM management is beautifully done. I think that's something that Huawei always does quite well. So this also showcases with this device. Playing Call of Duty Mobile, PUBG Mobile, Fortnite, Ashford, Blade of God, all those games ran absolutely well. Also handled the aspect ratio well because they have an app scaling feature that can scale your applications. So which means while you saw me out while I'm gaming, I can start with in tablet mode and switch down into a phone mode. I can go from phone mode to tablet mode and that's nice. Now that aspect ratio is kind of funky at 19.5 by 9 but playing games on that is really really refreshing. I do like the scale and size. Some games may not fit as well as others in my mind but I think they handled it well in terms of use. In terms of heat dissipation, I was initially going to get 85 degrees in terms of temps so I am impressed with that. I like to see more companies kind of follow around because gaming processors tend to get really hot. So cooling is good and again I spent at least a couple of hours gaming on this device. Now audio wise I was quite impressed with the audio. Granted it's a dual speaker system although most of the audio really comes from the bottom speaker but take a quick listen. Yeah 111 decibels I mean that's a loud speaker and also quite clear especially when you listen to the games and also just listen to the music that I quickly played here and I think a lot of people like that. 4500 mAh battery in there and you've got a charger with a 55 watt charger although the charger that comes with it is a 65 watt charger which should give you 85% in 30 minutes. I like that it's nice it's simple and it's effective at least for me gaming wise but a different aspect ratio a different display. I like bigger displays to game I think it makes a lot more sense and I think a lot of people will like that too. So let me know what your thoughts are on the Huawei Mate XS in our first gaming impressions first look.
