SINGAPORE – The race to build smartphones with flexible screens is heating up after Huawei announced its second foldable handset on Monday (Feb 24), during a virtual press conference streamed from Barcelona, Spain.
The new Huawei Mate Xs comes just two weeks after rival Samsung unveiled its second foldable phone, the Galaxy Z Flip.
It is a direct sequel to last year’s Huawei Mate X, and looks almost identical.
Both have a 8-inch flexible screen that wraps on the outside of the device. When folded, this display splits into a 6.6-inch main screen and a 6.38-inch secondary display.
This is unlike its main competitor, the Samsung Galaxy Fold, which opens like a book to reveal a 7.3-inch display.
The Mate Xs, unlike its predecessor, will be sold outside China as well, including Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines.
Huawei has yet to announce its price and exact date of release in Singapore, although the phone is set to debut here next month. The Mate Xs (8GB RAM and 512GB storage) is priced at 2,499 euros (S$3,800).
