Huawei, revealed today, through the voice of the CEO of the consumer products division, Richard Yu, that in the development process of Huawei MATE X, he even made a kind of Samsung GALAXY FOLD. Basically, Huawei created a foldable phone that bends towards the inside of the screen, not outward, as it happens with the current model, but decided that it was not good enough to be released in this form for customers around the world.
Huawei, claims that those prototypes were so bad that the decision was made to completely abandon them, directly attacking the Samsung GALAXY FOLD, which works exactly in this way at the moment. Huawei also considered that the phone would become much too heavy if it had two screens mounted, which is perfectly true, Samsung avoiding giving any details about the weight of the Samsung GALAXY FOLD.
Huawei ridicules Samsung GALAXY FOLD because of the "wrong" design
Huawei, had no less than three prototypes of foldable phones in the development process, but finally decided to produce the one we know now under the name Huawei MATE X. It is still possible that Huawei had a prototype even worse than the Samsung GALAXY FOLD, and the decision to give it up was based on the fact that it didn't work as well, but we also see that Samsung didn't make a phone as interesting.
We had several solutions, but we canceled them. We had three projects simultaneously. We had something even better than that [the Samsung Galaxy Fold], killed by me. It was bad. I feel having two screens, a front screen and a back screen, makes the phone too heavy.
Huawei, has a phone that closely resembles something presented by Oppo, and from this many could conclude that the development process was a collaborative one, to reduce the creation costs. Of course, we will never know the truth, but Huawei "puts salt on the wound" of those from Samsung, and this in the conditions where everyone praises what the Chinese have done, to the detriment of the product created by the Koreans.
