Pros and Cons

Huawei Mate X3

Strengths

The Huawei Mate X3 has probably the most elegant design we've seen yet compared to the z-fold 4, it's flatter and thinner.
It brings the IP rated water protection, which is a great feature for a foldable phone.
The charging speed of the Mate X3 is faster than the Z-Fold 4.
The phone has official workarounds like G-Box to make up for the lack of Google support, so it's not as much of an issue anymore.
The Huawei Mate X3 has a great camera setup with a 50MP main cam, a 12MP telephoto cam, and a 13MP ultra-wide cam.

Weaknesses

The battery life might be less on the Mate X3 compared to the Z-Fold 4.
You still don't get access to 5G networks with the Huawei Mate X3.
The lack of official Google support is still a drawback, although workarounds like G-Box make it more manageable.
The camera's dynamic range could be better in some situations, especially for the main cam.
The phone might not have the best selfie quality compared to other phones, with an 8MP front-facing cam that feels underwhelming.

realme 14 Pro

Strengths

The color changing design is quite interesting, even if it's a gimmick over time. It feels much better than last year's Real Mi 13 Pro Plus or Xiaomi's Redmi Note 14 Pro Plus for that matter.
It has a solid premium and robust design, military standard A10 Edge compliant, shock resistant, and has all kinds of IP ratings like IP66, IP68, and ip69, which is a first in Realme's mid-range phone.
The display on this thing is nice too, with good color reproduction, touch response, and everything else. It has high PWM dimming, 120Hz refresh rate, works well, and the higher 1.5k resolution makes everything look sharp and RIS.
It also has a huge 6,000 mAh battery that easily gets over eight hours of screen on time with this phone, so 1.5 days of battery life plus it charges pretty fast like within 55 minutes with its 8wat charger.
The camera performance is decent, with good color reproduction and sharpness in images. The primary lens does a fantastic job during nighttime too, with nice details and exposure management.

Weaknesses

It's not the most balanced mid-range phone mainly because of its average performance and a lack of a good Ultra wide lens.
The ultra-wide camera has an average resolution (8 megapixel) that results in average ultra-wide angle images during daytime as well as night, and you cannot shoot 4K videos with it.
You have to settle for 1080p video recording when switching from the primary camera to the ultra-wide camera.
The Snapdragon 7s gen 3 chipset doesn't support 4K 60 FPS recording, so the max you can shoot from the main and front camera is 4K 30 FPS with quality issues like movement wble.
It's not perfect for every aspect, it has some flaws like average performance, ultra-wide lens issues and lack of better chipset which could have made it a king among mid-range phones.
