The Huawei foldable phone has finally made its debut at WMC 2019 as the Huawei Mate X. ITWC had to privilege for an exclusive photoshoot of the phone behind closed doors.
The Huawei Mate X sports a different design compared to its competitors. The first thing that jumped out was just how thin the device really is. Folded together, it measures only 11mm and just 6.9mm unfolded.
Huawei accomplished this by reducing the width of one half of the display and inserted a ridge along on the right edge of the phone. The of the ridge holds the charging connector and a vertical camera array, both of which pose limitations to the display’s thickness.
During the presentation, it’s stressed that the phone does not have a gap when folded. The secret is in the hinge. Huawei’s patented hinge design has over 100 components and eliminates the gap completely.
