Foldable Phones - Galaxy Fold Vs Mate X: The next generation of Smartphones?
The tech market just can’t stay unstirred. It has not even been even a month that Samsung announced their Samsung Galaxy Fold & it already got a rival. Huawei unveiled their super luxury 5G phone with a folding screen called the Mate X. Both of the phones have eye-watering pricing & launch later. Oh man, the folding phone war has just officially begun.
Huawei Mate X was introduced at the Mobile World Congress 2019 Feb 24, Sunday in Barcelona. The phone is much bigger out of the two devices & seemingly more stylish looking than Samsung. Unlike the Galaxy Fold, the Huawei mate X folds outward, so the outside screen is the same as the inside one. The design of these two devices is quite different. Huawei Mate X when opened measures a full 8 inches with an impressive 2480x2200 resolution, versus 7.3 inches and an unknown number of pixels on the Galaxy Fold. When the phone is folded the mate X is 6.6 inches and the Samsung Galaxy Fold is 4.6 inches. The HUAWEI Mate X is impressively thin with the Falcon Wing design. The firm and durable design ensure the screen will not overstretch while folding or bulge in unfolding. Galaxy Fold has a notch.
Talking about cameras Samsung galaxy fold has a total of six cameras, three on the back, two on the front and one on the cover. Where Huawei Mate X has four cameras. The Huawei Mate X will work with the 5G network & it claims to be the fastest foldable 5G smartphone. Samsung galaxy fold comes with 4G & 5G. So you are not tied with the only 5G.

Huawei Mate X has a strong battery of 4500mAh which is more than of Samsung Galaxy fold 4300mAh.

It seems very cruel to wait for these awesome foldable phones. Both the phones are brilliant but look Huawei seems to pack a punch over Samsung. But the war is heating up. Nothing can be said until the phones are launched. As for now, Mate X seems little more stylish & attractive than Galaxy Fold. Both of these phones aren’t much affordable for common people. We will have to see who will win over the consumers.
