Huawei unveils its foldable phone to rival Samsung
he price tag for Huawei’s foldable 5G-enabled phone, the Mate X, is downright astronomical.
The Chinese phone maker launched its new, foldable device on the eve of the Mobile World Congress, a huge gathering of the mobile industry in Barcelona. The Mate X is set to compete with Samsung’s recently announced Galaxy Fold, which is priced at about $1,960 before taxes.
The cheapest version of the Mate X goes for $2,600, including taxes.
The comparisons between the Samsung and Huawei phones don’t stop there.
Huawei made sure to highlight the foldable phone’s 5G connectivity, a technology at the center of its quest for global dominance in the smartphone market. Samsung will offer a version with 4G and a version with 5G.
At 8 inches, Huawei’s phone folds out to a larger screen than Samsung’s Galaxy Fold, which extends to 7.3 inches.
In phone mode, Huawei comes in around 6.6 inches and the Samsung at 4.6 inches. But the Mate X is only 11 millimeters thick when folded, much thinner than Samsung’s 17 millimeter Galaxy Fold.
Phone makers have begun rolling out foldable phones with a bang, but analysts remain skeptical.

The HUAWEI Mate X is engineered to be impressively thin with the Falcon Wing design. This unprecedented stretchable hinge is artistically crafted to dissolve into the device for a smooth and flat finish on both sides of the device. The firm and durable design ensures the screen will not over stretch while folding or bulge in unfolding.
