Reuters Huawei's 5G folding phone, the Mate X.
Chinese smartphone giant Huawei has followed rival Samsung and unveiled a foldable phone called the Mate X.
The Mate X is the bigger device of the two and, at a first glance, looks like it's more advanced than Samsung's offering.Whether anyone actually needs a phone that turns into a tablet, given the prevalence of cheaper, big-screen phones right now, is another question.
We took a close look at the Mate X when it was unveiled at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona on Sunday.Samsung hasn't shown the Galaxy Fold to anyone, beyond showing it off onstage at its Unpacked event.
Samsung's way of unfolding its device means it has a totally separate screen on the outside to act as the display when the Fold is in smartphone mode.
The smaller Galaxy Fold is 4.6 inches when folded up, and 7.3 inches when in tablet mode.
That's because Huawei is effectively barred from the US phone market due to security concerns. Huawei didn't launch its last flagship, the Mate 20 Pro, in the US.
