The success of the Huawei Mate X has always been in doubt. But, improbably, sales have actually been fairly decent, with the Chinese tech giant claiming to be flogging 100,000 each month (in Chinese). That’s not too bad, considering the unfortunate geopolitical circumstances Huawei finds itself in.

Announced at MWC 2019, the Huawei Mate X was one of the first foldable phones to hit the market. It was also a victim of bad timing, with its release foreshadowed by the Trump Administration placing Huawei on an entity list in May 2019 — thereby preventing American companies from doing business with it.
