[IS THE HUAWEI MATE X2 THE FUTURE OF FOLDABLES? INTO THE FOLD EPISODE 7]
This is the seventh in a series of episodes exploring the many facets of life on a folding screen. From the best foldable phones of 2021 to the bleeding-edge world of folding-screen laptops, Into The Fold is MrMobile’s showcase for the most exciting movement in mobile technology since 2007!
Episode 7 was planned as a traditional first-impressions video of the Huawei Mate X2, a rethinking of that company's approach to folding-screen smartphones and a direct competitor to Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 2. But then something happened to my own Z Fold 2 that made me wonder whether the Huawei Mate X2 might in fact be something bigger: a preview of the future of foldable phones in general. Join me for episode 7 of Into The Fold!

Lol shit take was shit. The Mate X/XS was fucking trash that scratched to hell if you looked at it funny and the plastic screen on this $2800 monstrosity felt like ass compared to proper uniform & solid feeling UTG displays from the competition. Huawei is and has been an also-ran for basically everything in smartphones for a long while now. 🤷 Oppo makes some good foldables, but Huawei makes junk.

Also, no, the Galaxy Fold's have been better phones than the Mate's at basically every juncture. The difference in software quality and capability is fucking STARK! Samsung's foldable specific software is still the best in the game although many would argue Oppo (OnePlus) has the better hardware.
