Huawei Mate X not ready for the market.
"Huawei CEO Richard Yu who was spotted carrying his personal Mate X said, “"it will have to wait" when asked about the timing of the device launch."
When Samsung hit the problems related to display in their foldable phone, it seemed like Huawei would win the race to release first flagship foldable phones. But now it seems like Huawei Mate X is also facing some issues regarding its design.
According to He Gang, director of Huawei's consumer business mobile phone line, Huawei is still busy "optimizing/perfecting" the Mate X to meet the company's strict quality requirements. He also admitted that this process turned out to be a more challenging than he originally anticipated due to the new design processes and methods involved in crafting the foldable handset. He said, “Everyone should be very clear that Huawei’s quality requirements are very demanding. If it does not meet the quality requirements, we will not let the products go on the market.”
It was reumored that the huawei was aiming a September release date for the Mate X same as its rival Galaxy Fold. To this He Gang said, “ We have invested heavily in Mate X. As for when Samsung’s device will hit the market, it is not a key point for us to consider. The key point we consider is to hope that consumers can get this product when they get it. We ensure high-quality products with good consumer experience…”
