Huawei have just released their version of a foldable phone. No price details yet, and only demoed showing the home screen, but on first glance this looks like a step up from the Samsung effort:
I think I’ll definitely be hanging on to my trusty OnePlus 5 until a mature (and affordable) foldable comes along.
$1950.
Looks like a prototype. Folded it’s too small to have a nice screen, open it’s an odd ratio for a tablet.
Technically a step forward but fail to see why anyone would put up with the compromises you’d need to accept as a user.
Some might. I doubt the masses will. IMO.
Same as Samsung? Do you have a link - i couldn’t find the price or release date (from an admittedly cursory google)!
To answer my own question, it’s another ouch moment. From BBC News:
The Mate X has been priced to start at 2,299 euros ($2,600; £1996) and is due to go on sale from the middle of this year.
However, the biggest gasps came right at the end - when he announced the price tag. At 2,299 euros, even the hardcore enthusiasts appeared to wince.
Two grand for a phone? 
And we all thought breaking the 1k boundary was bad 
Are you joking? That’s like the biggest screen on a mainstream phone rn. 6.6"
Fair, just going by that screenshot which looked smaller when I viewed it on my phone.
Still. Feels gimmicky to me but that’s just me.
Not just you @gmclean 
Everyone said tablets were a gimmick initially (“who will want this”, “who needs a screen smaller than a computer but bigger than a phone” e.t.c.). Looks cool to me I can definitely see it taking off in a year or two.
I think that at least this one seems to fold the ‘right way’ having a full screen on the outside makes this more compelling to me than the Samsung offering.
It does seem to make the ‘fold’ even more obvious though.
Either way I won’t be buying either of them. I just don’t see the use case but I’m sure there’s some out there that will love it.
Just wait till apple release theirs in 2 years and it starts at £4999.00!! 
Wow, only took 18hs for that comment to appear… 
Not taking the price into consideration this is 100% a step up on the Galaxy Fold IMO.
