Huawei ‘cautious’ and delaying its own folding smartphone
Huawei has officially delayed the launch of its foldable smartphone, the Mate X, from June to September. A company spokesperson on Tuesday cited the well-publicised hardware issues with the Samsung Galaxy Fold review units among Huawei’s reasons for ordering further testing before launching the phone, according to CNBC.
Ostensibly, the primary reason for the delay would be Huawei’s inclusion on Trump’s US Entity List, which forbids American companies from doing business with it. This could interfere with Huawei’s previous plan to have the Mate X run on Google’s Android operating system.
