Huawei Mate X, the first foldable smartphone with a flexible display of the Chinese giant, should have been put on the market since June, but has been postponed. It is not clear exactly why: the period for Huawei is difficult, and it is likely that it had a certain weight, but the statements of the company suggest that, like the rival Samsung Galaxy Fold, the device was not yet fully ready, and that Huawei did not want to put a product on the market that affected its reputation.
Huawei has already guaranteed that Mate X will arrive by September and now, a new poster has been leaked on Weibo, revealing the Chinese store side promotional poster of the Huawei Mate X, which also indicates that the company will soon put this phone on sale in the home ground.
It is worth to mention that at the launch of Huawei Nova 5 series. President of Huawei’s Product Division, He Gang, said in an interview that Huawei Mate X will go on sale by the end of July or early August in China.
