A Huawei Mate X screen repair will cost an iPhone 11 Pro worth of cash
2019 is the year when we got the first high-profile forldable smartphones. Three of them, to be exact — the Samsung Galaxy Fold, the Motorola Razr 2019, and the Huawei Mate X. Well, we didn’t exactly “get” the latter. Due to a bit of a carfuffle caused by the US – China trade war, Huawei lost its right to use Android with the Google framework. So, it launched the Mate X in its homeland only. Though, in all fairness, it’s very possible that Huawei was only planning a China launch since the Mate X does not look like it’s easy to build.
“No trouble, I’ll just replace the screen when it gets scratched up!”
In all fairness, the Mate X is what we would call a “proof of concept”. It’s there just so Huawei can show that it can make it and to experiment with what is possible on such a screen. Buying it to use as a daily driver is probably not the best idea, as any little damage can end up costing you an arm and a leg. It’d be great to hang in a frame inside your home, though!
