The era of foldable phones is here, and it is not until 2020 where the first Samsung Galaxy Fold debuted but was initially recalled due to cracking screens that cannot withstand the folding action. Samsung aims to make its Galaxy Fold 2 and Z Flip more known to users by allowing a 100-day free trial, while Huawei has debuted its foldable with a massive price tag.
Initially, it was Huawei and Samsung who have been competing over the market of the first foldable phones as they were announced last 2019 and made a debut shortly. However, Huawei s device was just a prototype that shows promising tech with it, while Samsung immediately released theirs and have faced massive factory defects that crack the screen.

Huawei Mate X2 Foldable Phone Launch
According to MacRumors, Mate X2 was unveiled during a special launch event held in China, showing off the dual-screen smartphone and its 8-inches display that now folds inwards, compared to the first model that folds outwards bringing the main display on the device s exterior.
The radical redesign could rather change the people s feedback on the device compared to Mate X.
However, the device won t be running any support for Google s apps and services, as per The Verge, and this could severely impact the device s appeal outside of China.
