The Mate X – soon to be the flagship in Huawei’s line of premium smartphones – boasts “two revolutionary tech breakthroughs”, Huawei claims. The first is its foldable screen, which stretches eight inches, making it 0.7 inches larger than screen of the Galaxy Fold that Samsung revealed last week.

Unlike the Galaxy Fold, which opens like a book, the Mate X’s screen folds backwards, revealing a fully usable 6.6 inch screen at the front and a 6.3 inch screen at the back. The remainder of the rear panel is a side bar, which has been designed to make the tablet easy to hold in one hand when it’s unfolded and doubles up as a compartment for the Leica camera system. This allows users to take selfies and standard shots with the same camera, but different screens.
