Huawei Mate X is a tablet-phone hybrid with 8-inch main display. The single flexible 8-inch OLED display which Huawei calls “Full View Display” provides the experience of a tablet when open and acts like a phone with dual-screen when closed. Mate X has the aspect ratio of 8:7.1 with the display resolution of 2,480 x 2,200 and PPI count of 414.

In phone mode, front display is the size of 6.6-inch with the familiar aspect ratio of 19.5:9 which covers the whole body and provide the bezel-free experience.

The rear display has a smaller display size in comparison to the front panel with the aspect ratio of 25:9 and display size of 6.38-inch. Reason for the different aspect ratios between front and rear panel of Mate X is that there is an inclusion of thick hand grip on the right side of the tablet.
