Huawei Mate X

The Huawei Mate X might be the first foldable phone you seriously consider paying gobs of money for in 2019. Its solid-feeling hinge allows this handset to fold up, transforming from full 8-inch tablet into a more-traditional-looking 6.6-inch and 6.38-inch smartphone with a screen on either side. It feels like you're holding the future in your hand, just know that your transformative euphoria over this phone comes at a very high price.

The Mate X is proof the future is nearly here, but you might not want to buy a first generation foldable phone. But there’s no doubt this is better hardware than the Galaxy Fold – we’ll have to wait and see if the software is as good.

El Huawei Mate X es uno de esos teléfonos que nos hace darnos cuenta de que el futuro ya está aquí, aunque por otro lado, puede que no quieras comprar la primera generación de teléfonos plegables y esperar a que este tipo de dispositivos se mejore, actualice y pruebe. No obstante, no cabe duda de que el Mate X posee un hardware mucho mejor que el del Galaxy Fold, aunque tendremos que esperar a probarlo para poder hablar de su software.
