Huawei Mate X

“Where many other smartphone companies are standing at the edge of the pool, dipping toes in 5G waters. Huawei has swam a lap, climbed up the diving board, sprung off the edge with a triple reverse roll and made an almighty splash.”

“The Huawei Mate X isn't going to be the first foldable phone to launch, but it might be the first you seriously consider paying gobs of money for in 2019. Its solid-feeling hinge allows this handset to fold up, transforming from full 8-inch tablet into a more-traditional-looking 6.6-inch and 6.38-inch smartphone with a screen on either side. It feels like you're holding the future in your hand, just know that your transformative euphoria over this phone comes at a very high price.”

“The Huawei Mate X is the most sensational, and sensationally expensive, piece of new mobile technology we’ve used in years.”

“Huawei was one of the first to show off its foldable smartphone, the Mate X is an exciting start. Yes it's big and chunky, and it'll undoubtedly take time to mature into a product that most consumers will want to use, but it's a very promising device and form factor with tonnes of potential.”
