Huawai unveils its design for a foldable smartphone to compete with Samsung’s Galaxy Fold. The smartphone which will be called Mate X, will come with a flexible screen that bends around the exterior of the device.
The device will fold up to half its size, turning it from a tablet into a smartphone. According to Huawei, the Mate X “defines a new category of mobile devices”. The foldability works by way of an “unprecedented” stretchable hinge that enables users to transform the device from an 8-inch tablet – measured diagonally across the device – into a more compact 6.6-inch smartphone.
