Let's put ourselves in a situation: you have bought the Huawei Mate X, the folding mobile of the Chinese company (which will go on sale soon). On any given day, the phone falls and its flexible screen breaks. You contact the technical service to repair it, how much do you think it will cost? Just one hint: you better not break the Mate X screen.
The Chinese company has announced how much it will cost to repair the screen of the Mate X, the folding mobile, in case the user breaks it. That is, the repair price if the mobile falls or if it suffers some kind of damage caused by the user, such as misuse, a strong blow, etc. You will have to fork out $ 1,000. That is, about 905 euros (almost the same as a high-end mobile). Imagine paying 2,000 euros for the Mate X, and after a few months having to pay another 900 euros to repair your screen, which by the way, everything indicates that it is very fragile. In addition to the cost of replacing the screen, Huawei has also announced how much it will cost to repair or replace other components of the device.
Replacing the battery will cost about 36 euros ($ 40) and 46 euros ($ 51) for the front cover battery. Changing the motherboard of the device amounts to 460 euros to change (509 dollars). If the rear camera is damaged, it would cost about 90 euros to change it (100 dollars to change). The total is about 1,500 euros. It is almost better to buy a new Mate X.
Watch out for the Mate X screen
The truth is that it is understandable that changing the terminal components has such a high cost. The Mate X is a device that has a flexible OLED panel, and its construction is much more complicated than a conventional phone. Until now, the highest cost of replacement of a screen has the iPhones, with 360 euros for the change of panel in the iPhone 11 Pro Max or iPhone XS Max. It is followed closely by the Samsung Galaxy Note 10+, with a price of about 330 euros.
The Huawei Mate X could come with different protections on the panel to avoid what happened with the Galaxy Fold, Samsung's folding mobile. The company could include a kind of screen protector, as well as different notices to be a misuse of the device and that it ends up breaking.
