It's actually almost the same Huawei Mate X that was originally announced in February 2019. Huawei just added some improvements on the Mate Xs model to offer much better user experience. For example, this version is now powered by the latest Kirin 990 5G processor as opposed to the original's Kirin 980 processor with an extra Balong 5000 modem for 5G connectivity. The 5G support is now integrated in the Kirin 990 chipset.
