Following the near-disastrous roll-out of the Galaxy Fold, Huawei has delayed the launch of the Mate X folding phone, which was due to arrive this month, to September. According to the Wall Street Journal, the $2,600 phone is now slated to arrive in September while Huawei proceeds to conduct “a lot of tests.”
When it was revealed at MWC in February, the Mate X was seen as the foil to the Galaxy Fold, with an outside-folding screen and a thinner design. I got a chance to briefly spend some time with the Mate X at Mobile World Congress, and it definitely seemed like a pre-production unit. The representative was very careful to launch specific apps and handle it gingerly, and journalists weren’t allowed to hold the device for more than a few seconds at a time.
Huawei, the world's largest telecoms equipment maker and No. 2 smartphone brand, faces a unique set of problems.
The US Commerce Department placed Huawei on a trade blacklist last month, barring American firms from selling tech to the company. That would cut Huawei off from key suppliers like Google and Micron.
Whether Huawei's foldable phone will run Google's Android operating system is "under discussion," said Schloss.
A company executive said this week that Huawei no longer aspires to overtake Samsung to become the No. 1 smartphone seller by the end of the year.
