Back in March after the Huawei P30 series unveiling,
we got the chance to take part in a group interview with Huawei Consumer
Business CEO - Richard Yu. There, he detailed that the Mate X was his primary
device and served him perfectly for work-related scenarios like reading through
charts and graphs and browsing the web. Since then Huawei has decided to delay
the launch of its first foldable phone to avoid potential hardware failures
like Samsung's Galaxy Fold.
While we wait for the market release, Chinese media
members managed to catch Yu with his very own Huawei Mate X at Shenzhen
International Airport. When asked about the launch of the device, the CEO
replied that “it will have to wait” without revealing more details.
The Mate X was recently certified by TENAA and was
previously scheduled to launch in September this year. According to other reports the
device has entered its final testing phases and could hit shelves in China as
early as August. A global launch may take quite a while longer though.
