The battery is 4,500 mAh and should last all-day. If you do need a charger, the device support Huawei’s SuperCharge 55W charging.
Huawei hasn’t said whether or not the Mate Xs will be coming to Canada but it will be launching outside of China. It has been confirmed to launch in Europe for €2,499 in March.
