Huawei Mate Explained

Developer:Huawei
Type:Phablet, smartphone, foldable smartphone, tablet
Os:HarmonyOS, Android
Releasedate:2013

Huawei Mate, formally Huawei Ascend Mate, is a series of high-end HarmonyOS-powered (Android-based prior to the trade war sanction) phablet smartphones produced by Huawei, and is one of their flagship products along with the Pura series.

Under the company's current hardware release cadence, the Pura series phones are typically directed towards mainstream consumers as the company's flagship smartphones, refining and expanding upon technologies introduced in Mate series devices (which are typically positioned towards early adopters).[1] From 2016 until 2021, Huawei was in a co-engineering partnership with the German manufacturer Leica, whose lenses were used on the Mate series cameras. They have since been replaced with Huawei's in-house XMAGE imaging brand.[2] [3]
