In terms of design, both devices look great. Huawei Mate X looks exceptional. The Mate X folds
completely into a single unit, leaving no gaps like that of the Samsung Galaxy Fold. The Samsung
Galaxy Fold looks bulky when folded considering that fact that we are in the era of ‘thin’ devices.
However, the Mate X when folded exposes the screen at the back which might be a major con-
cern for some consumers. The Samsung Galaxy Fold offers a better alternative – a third screen
when folded, so you don’t have to worry about your main screen.
So far what both Samsung and Huawei have released are prototypes however the products will
be made available starting this April. If you have plans on getting one, here’s what to look out for:
