Huawei launches its foldable Mate X 5G smartphone

Huawei launched its first foldable smartphone, the Mate X with a glorious 8" 2200x2480 foldable AMOLED display that folds outwards. When closed, the phone operates as it has two displays - a 6.6" 1148x2480 on the front and a smaller 6.38" 2480x892 display on the back (which makes room for the cameras).

The Mate X specifications include 5G connectivity, a Kirin 980 octa-core chipset, 8 GB of RAM, 512 GB of storage, a NM memory slot and a quad camera setup with Leica optics.

Huawei will start shipping the Mate X sometimes in Q2 2019. The price will be around $2,600. Reports suggest that Huawei's foldable OLED supplier is BOE Display.
