Yesterday, details of Huaweiโs latest foldable phone were unfolded.
It, of course, couldnโt have come at a better timing: just a few days ago, Samsung shocked the world with their foldable phone.
And lest youโre not unaware, people werenโt shocked at the phone, because it was something that we were all expecting. People were shocked at the price, which starts from $2.6K.

Yesterday, Huawei, the second largest phone manufacturer after Samsung, announced their foldable phone as well.
Turns out that SGD$2.6k is mere chicken feet, because Huaweiโs foldable phone starts fromโฆ
SGD$3.5k.
Someone bring back the Nokia 3310, please.
Huawei Mate X
Huaweiโs foldable phone at least got one thing right: its name.
Called Huawei Mate X, the foldable phone is pretty different from Samsung Galaxy Fold, for the phone has two back-to-back screen that unfolds into an eight-inch tablet from the outside.

In other words, while itโs a phone, itโll have two screensโthe front screen thatโs bezel-less would be 6.6-inch while the back screen is 6.38-inch with a bezel that holds the camera.
Here, take a look if it sounds confusing:
Youโd have realised that thereโs no hinge or gap on the tablet screen, since itโs being bended outward. Pretty slick if youโd ask me.
However, someone who was at the event claimed that โa crease in the screen appeared to be visible.โ
But given that theyโve physical device to show to journalist (that works very well, I may add), it does look much better than Samsung Galaxy Fold.

The phone also supports 5G, because by the time the device is out, 5G would soon be available in developed countries.
Not so Powerful Specs, Unlike Samsung Galaxy Fold
The Samsung Galaxy Fold has one of the most powerful specs so far, with 12 GB ram, 512 GB storage space, 7-nanometer processor, six cameras and two batteries that provide 4,380 mAh of juice.
The Huawei Mate X, however, isnโt that powerful: with 8 GB ram, 512 GB storage, 7-nanometer processor, four cameras (but their cameras are one of the best in the world) and two batteries, itโs losing out just a little.
Prices start from โฌ2299 (if youโre wondering why theyโre giving the price in Euros instead of USD, youโve got to read more news, my friend), which is more than SGD$3.5K.
Availability is unknown but itโs projected to be out in the middle of this year.
