Huawei Mate X2 Review - I Didn't Expect THIS. This video is my official unboxing and review. Is this the best folding / foldable smartphone 2021? How does it compare vs Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2? Kirin 9000 chip, 8" 90hz OLED display, Android 11 with EMUI 11 over the top, 50Mp quad camera setup, 8GB ram, 512GB storage. 55w fast charging, 4500 mah battery and stereo speakers! Great folding phone, probably the best hardware going, but should you buy it?

Download Aurora OSS and you're good to go. Many apps actually work without GMS even though it's said that GMS are needed for the app to work.

Nice, informative review as always. I would get this(even without Google Services, as I would just sideload them) as I like the larger outer screen and that it got FANTASTIC cameras unlike the Fold 2. The main barrier and why I won't be getting this is the price, it is EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE online($3500+ on eBay) but I am still REALLY IMPRESSED with this and my maybe a few generations ahead I can get this??? 🤔🤔 For now my plan is to get the Fold 2 when the Fold 3 drops and I'll pick it up when it drops to $600-$700. 📱📱🤳🤳❤️❤️❤️❤️

Did Huawei mention anything about a UK release/price? I had Mate20pro and wanted the MateX when it launched in the UK but was worried about the outer fold, so I settled for Fold1, which is still my daily driver. It's great having UK youtubers reviewing these devices but not much point if fellow commoners can't get their hands on these phones.

Seems a good idea not to have a selfie camera on the inner screen, aspect ratio is better on front screen than Samsung offerings but I still don’t think it’s happening for the mass market. Too many detractions. Aspect ratio on inner screen, fragility, crease, weight, expense, complexity & cost just off the top of my head!
