Uswitch comments on the launch of the Huawei Mate X2

Ru Bhikha, mobiles expert at Uswitch.com, commented:

“The Huawei Mate X2 is the latest folding smartphone from the Chinese brand, joining the original X and the XS, and taking on bendy rivals from Samsung and Motorola.

“With its quad camera including a 50MP wide lens, plus a dual-speaker stereo and the Kirin 9000 5G chipset, the Mate X2 is a serious handset in its own right, and not just a folding gimmick.

“Huawei unveiled what it calls the Multi-Dimensional Hinge, which eliminates the bumps and lumps common to folding screens, solving an issue that has plagued first-generation iterations.

“The Falcon Wing Design lets you use the device as a traditional smartphone, or open it up to reveal a tablet-like eight-inch screen. 

“With brands like Oppo investing in rollable screens, it’s crucial that foldable phones like this provide as seamless a display as possible.

“Huawei still faces an uphill struggle to win followers in the UK, and this phone’s almost £2,000 price tag will not help a device that lacks the Google apps on which users have come to rely.”
