Samsung Could Launch an Outward Folding Smartphone Before Huawei’s Releases Its Mate X

Samsung hasn’t re-launched the Galaxy Fold and now, the Korean giant is apparently planning to release an outward folding smartphone and that too at the earliest. It appears that the company has learned nothing from the Galaxy Fold debacle, which exhibited problems almost immediately in the hands of the early adopters, merely 48 hours into testing. The company now reportedly wants to beat the Mate X launch, by releasing a device bearing the same design as the latter.

The Huawei Mate X, which was supposed to go on sale in summer, has been delayed and according to the company’s boss for Western Europe, Vincent Pang, it won’t be released until September. Although Huawei says that the release has been put on hold to ensure that the device doesn’t meet the same fate as the Galaxy Fold, the general consensus is that the release has been delayed because of the ongoing U.S.-China tensions.
