Huawei's debuts $2,600 foldable Mate X, hits new smartphone price record

according to Huawei has become the latest mainstream smartphone producer to reveal a folding smartphone, but the $2,600 Mate X takes a different approach from Samsung's recently-launched Galaxy Fold by putting the screen on the outside of the bend, rather than inside. Revealed at Mobile World Congress, the Huawei Mate X is billed as a 5G-supporting foldable smartphone. Such a move is also risky from a usability standpoint, as it means the screen is not as protected from other items, such as keys in a pocket, unlike the inward screen design.The 2-in-1 device is quite thin by modern smartphone standards, measuring 5.4 millimeters at its slimmest point when unfolded. Rumors have also suggested that Apple has worked with LG on one such concept, with the two reportedly collaborating on a flexible OLED display that could be used in such a device.Outside of rumors, patents and applications also serve as evidence of Apple's work in the field. It has numerous such filings relating to flexible displays wrap-around displays , and hinged devices , as well as supporting ideas such as stretchy substrates for connecting components together, and how to enable force gesture controls on flexible devices.
