Although He Gang, President of Huawei's Consumer Business Group Mobile Phone Product Line, recently stated that he believes that under the conditions of quality requirements, Huawei's first foldable screen mobile phone Mate XMay not be launched before NovemberHowever, earlier news suggests that the Mate X will be officially launched as early as the end of October this year and has already entered mass production.
However, due to production quality requirements, the relatively high difficulty of manufacturing foldable screen phones, and the relatively low yield rate, initial supply is expected to be limited, and they will only be launched in limited quantities in the Chinese market.
Samsung officially started selling its foldable phone in South Korea and overseas markets including the United States.Galaxy foldAfterwards, Huawei also plans to put its foldable screen mobile phone on the market as soon as possible. Previously, Huawei Consumer Business CEO Yu Chengdong said that the Mate X will be launched this year.
Compared to the Galaxy Fold's more complex inward-folding design, the Mate X uses an outward-folding concave design, which has a relatively small curvature of the screen. It also doesn't require an external screen when the phone is closed, unlike the Galaxy Fold, making it structurally simpler.
However, since the screen is in external use mode whether it is open or closed, it is relatively easier for the foldable screen to be damaged. Therefore, in order to prevent the use of the foldable screen phone from being affected, Huawei has obviously made a lot of improvements to this part of the design, and even created specially designed mobile phone protection accessories for the Mate X to prevent users from causing screen damage during operation.
Putting aside the screen damage issue, the high price design, the user experience of the foldable screen, and future app support and compatibility may also become challenges that the Mate X may face in the future.
As for whether the Mate X can obtain GMS (Google Mobile Service) service certification? Judging from the timing, it should be no problem. After all, the Mate X was launched during the MWC 2 in February this year.Officially announced, and even directly announced that the listing price was 2299 euros (about 8 New Taiwan dollars converted). It was originally scheduled to be launched in April this year, but the launch time was repeatedly delayed for various reasons. However, in theory, it should not be affected by the subsequent US government technology export ban.
