Following the near-disastrous roll-out of the Galaxy Fold (https://www.pcworld.com/article/3390205/samsung-delay-galaxy-fold-launch.html), Huawei has delayed the launch of the Mate X folding phone, which was due to arrive this month, to September. According to the Wall Street Journal (https://www.wsj.com/articles/huawei-postpones-launch-of-mate-x-foldable-phone-11560502468?mod=e2tw), the $2,600 phone is now slated to arrive in September while Huawei proceeds to conduct “a lot of tests.”
When it was revealed at MWC (https://www.pcworld.com/article/3342451/huawei-mate-x-folding-phone-5g.html)-in February, the Mate X was seen as the foil to the Galaxy Fold, with an outside-folding screen and a thinner design. I got a chance to briefly spend some time with the Mate X at Mobile World Congress, and it definitely seemed like a pre-production unit. The representative was very careful to launch specific apps and handle it gingerly, and journalists weren’t allowed to hold the device for more than a few seconds at a time.
