Since the Galaxy Fold will probably not release until June, is anyone going to take a second look at the Mate X? That releases in June too......??????
Definitely not. We already guessed this screen tech is fragile. Having it on the outside seems like a terrible idea. Also it's way more expensive, and doesn't have video calling/selfie cam in the tablet mode. If it was the same price then I'd consider it if they had some clever case design that gave it more protection and let it flip open easily.Since the Galaxy Fold will probably not release until June, is anyone going to take a second look at the Mate X?

I had a play with the Mate X and was blown away by how incredible it was, so yeah, if it could come down on price, that's the Foldable I'd go for. Mate X has leather case that comes with the phone in the packaging, it was showcased at its announcement.
Personally I don't trust Huawei no matter how good the hardware.
The Fold design appears to be better from a screen longevity perspective in that folding in subjects the screen to less damage from scratches. The "crease" would seem less likely to become wider or more pronounced.
I guess for clumsy type people but I always just have my phone facing my leg in my pocket and have no issues with scratches what-so-ever.
With the screen on the outside and just imagining potential impact points, the Mate X could suffer catastrophe damage. I too carry my GS10+ face in with a Pelican Shield case. There really isn't a case for the phone in the traditional sense. It is probably going to be in a pouch or wallet case if that is at all possible.
https://youtu.be/ndwAZVTBnuEHeck no. Screen is fully exposed, lending itself to scratches, and the uneven pressure application which iFixit says will destroy an OLED screen. The case it comes in looks pretty neat, until you realize...dust and pocket lint will certainly sneak in between it and the screen.
Lol, this is exactly what people are forgetting, the Mate X has been out in people's hands for a long time, Huawei were smart they let regular people get hold of it including me, they used this as an opportunity to test and see how it could hold up. In most countries where Huawei exist they have Mate X devices out in the wild in multiple versions and states of build.I'm very interested, always have been, I prefer it's design.
I am sure they are learning from the news and thus may delay its release too.
Reviewers have been handling the Mate X for months.
I look forward to seeing it in person one day. Alas its out of my league in price for now.
What makes you think people are forgetting all these things?Lol, this is exactly what people are forgetting, the Mate X has been out in people's hands for a long time, Huawei were smart they let regular people get hold of it including me, they used this as an opportunity to test and see how it could hold up.

At the P30 Pro launch locally the head of Huawei products here in SA had a Mate X with him on stage that he had been using for a while, he didn't showcase it but he used it quite a bit before talking and even when sitting down, seems it's his daily driver.
People are also forgetting that the Mate X will come with a Case out the box.
