Huawei executive: the Mate X folded under Android intact

The folding of the Huawei Mate X is still underway and we know when it will be launched: in September or earlier, according to a Huawei executive who spoke to TechRadar this week. "It will arrive no later than September," said Vincent Pang, president of Huawei's Western Europe Region, during his visit to New York. "Probably before, but definitely September is guaranteed."

  Where will the Huawei Mate X be launched? "All countries that have 5G," Pang told us, recalling that the Huawei foldable phone was a 5G phone. This was probably pointed out because the Samsung Galaxy Fold was launched with a 4G LTE version (before its final withdrawal), with a version 5G that has only been spoken once and never had an official price. Of course, the comment of "any country that has 5G" of Pang is accompanied by a warning. Mate X does not come to the US UU., Which is not a surprise, given the ban on Huawei in the United States.

Surprise: Android will still work at launch

We had more training time with the Huawei Mate X, even playing a game on all its screens: folded in front, folded and deployed in tablet mode.

While PUBG looks good and looks spacious on an 8-inch screen (folding phones will certainly dominate our best list of gaming phones one day), we wonder: will Mate X actually run Android and its applications when the launch? ? "Yes," Pang told us. "Because this has been announced," suggesting that this could be ruled out of the Trump government's ban on US companies (including software companies such as Google) that deal with Huawei. Due to the ban, many commentators predict "We will probably never see this phone" in the last two months. But the managers of Pang and Huawei with whom we spoke seem very confident that the launch will take place and that the output will be intact with Android.

Why 'for September'?

Two additional bits of information on the "September" launch schedule. First, we were told that the slow release of 5G was the reason for the "delay", not the American policy. Huawei expects the consolidation of 5G in China and other important areas. The 5G was launched live in the UK, which has always been a key territory for Huawei smartphones. Secondly, the word "delay" is disputed: it should always be launched in summer (ending on September 21st in the northern hemisphere). According to Huawei, a reporter deduced July at CMM 2019 and Internet worked with this story.

 

Huawei "It's basically the same material [that we showed at the MWC]," Pang told us. He said that Huawei had spent his time adjusting the software so that the applications fit into the full-screen mode, when the Mate X is deployed in the orientation of the tablet. When asked what Huawei was doing to ensure the durability of the Matte X plastic screen and avoid imitating Samsung's failed launch, Pang said, "It's a secret, but we've done some many tests, especially for that. "
