Huawei's Mate Xs feels more like an update to the firm's original folding phone, but it's much sturdier thanks to a more robust hinge.
The Chinese tech giant originally planned to launch it at Mobile World Congress, but the event was cancelled due to coronavirus fears.Huawei's new foldable smartphone, the Mate Xs, bent at an angle.The company's latest folding device, aptly named the Mate Xs, feels more like an update to the previous version as it looks almost identical, but it feels like a much sturdier device thanks to a more robust hinge.
You have to tap a button on the back to fold it outward, and I could hear — and feel — an audible crunching noise when opening the device out in full.Huawei says this isn't something to be worried about as it's simply the hinge working as it's been designed to.

It's not yet clear whether the new phone will be available in Europe as well.The Mate Xs comes with some pretty nifty features, like the ability to multitask with several apps on the screen.
But again, while it's a good utilization of the phone's folding display, this isn't different to what Huawei's Mate X was already capable of. The Mate Xs camera from Leica also comes with the same quad-lens system as that of the Mate X.As for the name of the product, it's not something that detracts from its quality in any way.
