After the fiasco of the Samsung Galaxy Fold, Huawei again delays the launch of its folding mobile. Some rumors spoke of the launch of the device during the month of August. Later it was confirmed that the launch would not take place until mid to late September. Now the company itself confirms that the phone will not be ready for next month, but for the end of the year, with a view to launching massively during the first four months of 2020.
The Huawei Mate X will be presented in November with some changes in design
This was made clear by Huawei today during a press conference to the media in China. The well-known TechRadar medium confirms what has been rumored for some time now: the Huawei Mate X will be delayed again no less than until the month of November.
According to various sources, the reason for the delay is due to the redesign of some of the parts of the phone. Components such as the screen or the unlock button have been redesigned both in shape and resistance: now the folding panel of the terminal has a protective sheet made of a material similar to polycarbonate.
Another of the details that TechRadar has highlighted makes mention of the possibility of including even more screens than those that the original model presented at first. Apparently, the company would have chosen to implement glass on the back of the device instead of aluminum, which would lead to a possible implementation of three or more screens.
Recall that today the terminal drinks from a single 8-inch screen in tablet format whose fold gives rise to two screens in mobile format of 6.6 and 6.38 inches. The implementation of an additional panel could assimilate the functions and possibilities of the equipment to those of the Samsung Galaxy Fold, although it is not ruled out that the company has decided to implement a secondary screen to preserve the integrity of the main screen, as it is folded when we make use of the same in smartphone format.
We will have to wait, therefore, for the reissue of the phone that will take place, if the plans continue their course, in mid-November. The commercialization of the device, of course, could take place during the months of March or April, coinciding with the Chinese Spring Festival.
