[IS THE HUAWEI MATE X2 THE FUTURE OF FOLDABLES? INTO THE FOLD EPISODE 7]
This is the seventh in a series of episodes exploring the many facets of life on a folding screen. From the best foldable phones of 2021 to the bleeding-edge world of folding-screen laptops, Into The Fold is MrMobile’s showcase for the most exciting movement in mobile technology since 2007!
Episode 7 was planned as a traditional first-impressions video of the Huawei Mate X2, a rethinking of that company's approach to folding-screen smartphones and a direct competitor to Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 2. But then something happened to my own Z Fold 2 that made me wonder whether the Huawei Mate X2 might in fact be something bigger: a preview of the future of foldable phones in general. Join me for episode 7 of Into The Fold!

Lol shit take was shit. The Mate X/XS was fucking trash that scratched to hell if you looked at it funny and the plastic screen on this $2800 monstrosity felt like ass compared to proper uniform & solid feeling UTG displays from the competition. Huawei is and has been an also-ran for basically everything in smartphones for a long while now. 🤷 Oppo makes some good foldables, but Huawei makes junk.

@Cooe. 4 месяца назад

@@markedgerton4170Lol you done fucking goofed. 🤣 Even if you didn't want Samsung you should have waited for the Pixel Fold or OnePlus Open over that trash. Also, no, the Galaxy Fold's have been better phones than the Mate's at basically every juncture. The difference in software quality and capability is fucking STARK! Samsung's foldable specific software is still the best in the game although many would argue Oppo (OnePlus) has the better hardware.

yeah seen that kind of fracturing on the display on 3 different occasion, a Fold 1 demo before it got pulled because someone decided to prick it with their nails then the current Z flip Demo has a clear line on it. right now the new Z Fold 2 still hasn't, probably because the store decide to case it behind a plastic cage that you gotta ask the attendant to open so less people are getting the chance to be handsy with it

@graysonsmith7031 3 года назад

This is getting interesting, aside from no wireless charging, I think I'd choose this over the current fold. I would even feel that it's a no compromise phone. The slanted design is great, I personally am fine with only the cam on the outside to keep an uninterrupted screen on the inside (although it seems like the next fold is getting an under the display cam). I haven't been this excited about phones since my S9+ (which I still use)!

@SpookySkeletonGang 3 года назад

This is the best LOOKING folding phone I think we've seen yet. I know you don't like it but I personally would rather no hole punch at all for the large screen. The way the device is wedge shaped to fit better in the hand, the way the bezels are the same size all the way around the device (seriously why can't every phone do this???), it's just the most visually appealing folding phone. It's the first one that really is starting to look like it could be a consumer device, minus the price and google stuff of course.
