This might be the most exciting new foldable smartphone of 2021

[Chris Smith]

• Huawei is about to launch a brand new foldable device, and it released a new Mate X2 teaser to promote the phone’s new design.
• The third Mate X foldable will feature a foldable screen that folds inwards, just like the Galaxy Z Fold 2.
• A separate report says that Chinese display maker BOE is mass-producing in-folding OLED panels for foldable phones and that BOE will supply the Mate X2 screens.

Huawei stunned the world about two years ago at MWC 2019 when it launched its first-ever foldable phone. The announcement came just days after Samsung announced the first-gen Galaxy Fold. But the Mate X looked a lot better than the Fold, teasing that the foldable phone experiences we were craving were going to be spectacular. In the months that followed, we learned that foldable phones are hard to manufacture, and it might be years until the technology is where we’d want it to be. The high price and delayed launches did not turn the Mate X into a massive success, and the US ban did not help. The Mate Xs that followed was better than the original, but it was still an expensive device that had a significant flaw. The phone shipped without the Google apps that make Android what it is.

Huawei has not given up on foldables, even if it’s struggling to compete in the business. The company is about to launch a new Mate X successor, featuring a brand new design. And Huawei just released another teaser to confirm the new foldable screen technology.
