Huawei MATE X. An official announcement regarding the launch of the new model of foldable smartphone prepared by the Chinese was done today, and we are talking about a very interesting surprise that they have planned. Despite the rumors that appeared in the previous weeks, it seems that the Huawei MATE X is indeed going to be presented at the Mobile World Congress by the Chinese, shortly after we will see the Samsung GALAXY Fold for the first time in a new conference.
Huawei MATE X. Richard Yu, the CEO of the division that launches products for ordinary consumers, made the announcement regarding the launch of the new foldable smartphone at Mobile World Congress 2019, so things are as official as possible. Huawei MATE X will be launched there only as a concept for now, because actual sales will start much later, probably in the second half of this year, as the company announced at the end of last year.

Huawei MATE X. Apart from the fact that it will be foldable, this new smartphone will also be launched with integrated 5G connectivity, but it will most likely be useful, initially, only through China and other Asian countries. Although there are many rumors regarding the appearance of the first Chinese phones with integrated 5G, it is very possible that the Huawei MATE X will be the first phone of this kind, but it remains to be seen what they will want to do to win the attention of consumers.
Yu said Huawei will launch the foldable phone at the Mobile World Congress next month with sales beginning in April at the earliest. It said it aimed to keep the momentum with the launch next month of a foldable smartphone powered by its new fifth-generation (5G) chipset. He said its Balong 5000 chipset, a rival to Qualcomm Snapdragon X50, is the world's most powerful 5G modem and can be used in vehicles.
Huawei MATE X. Based on what we have learned so far, this new smartphone model will have a screen with a diagonal of over 7.3 inches, plus a new Kirin chip, which will give it the performance it deserves. A special version of Android for foldable phones is to be integrated in Huawei MATE X, and of course the selling price should be high enough to cover all the innovations that will be included in it.
Huawei MATE X. Even if an official presentation will take place at Mobile World Congress 2019, we still need a lot of patience until the launch in stores, as happened with the Samsung GALAXY Fold.
