The Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X are presently the
only foldable models that would be available in the market soon. While the
Galaxy Fold’s release has been postponed indefinitely, the Mate X is set to it
the market in June. Apparently, Huawei did experiment with other design styles
before settling for the current design. A photo which leaked on Weibo in the
hand of a Huawei official shows a foldable phone prototype with thick bezels at
the top and bottom edges.
The device seems to have been spotted at the Mobile
World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, which took place in February. We can’t say
why it took so long before the device is coming out and from China. The design
looks a lot unpolished and the thick bezels envelop the beauty. The device even
has bezels on one side of the display. This is in contrast with the Mate X
which has extremely thin bezels all around. However, the device which is
apparently a prototype folds outwards like the Mate X. When it is folded, one
half of the screen becomes inactive, while the other one remains active on the
front side. The design of the back is unknown.
