The first leak, reposted by prolific tipster Ishan Agarwal, features images of the Huawei Mate X smartphone ahead of its MWC 2019 launch. The images match what was leaked in a billboard earlier this week, with what appears to a hinge on the left side of the smartphone - where users can hold it when the smartphone is folded. The smartphone can then be unfolded, and the back panel joins the front to form a single display. The leak is accompanied by another post, which features a video of the unfolding process and a close look at the form factor. You can check out the video below.

Finally, another leak posted on Slashleaks features images of the same video it appears, but this is accompanied by the specifications of the smartphone. As per Slashleaks, the Huawei Mate X bears a 6.2-inch display in the front (including the hinge), a 6.6-inch display at the back, which together become an 8-inch display when unfolded. It is said to run on the 7nm HiSilicon Kirin 980 SoC, and be powered by a 4,500mAh battery. Finally, the leak tips that in terms of optics, the Huawei Mate X will have a quad rear camera setup, and a dual front camera setup.
