China’s Huawei unveiled its latest folding
smartphone and its first such device to be
available internationally, competing in a niche
category with new models from Samsung
and Motorola.
The company took the wraps off the new Mate
Xs by video instead of a press launch, as the tech
show in Spain where it had planned to hold the
unveiling was cancelled over worries about the
new coronavirus outbreak.
Like its predecessor, the Mate X, which only saw
limited release in China last year, the display
wraps around the phone’s outside when closed
and unfolds to a tablet-size eight-inch screen.
