The Chinese tech and telecom giant launched the Huawei Mate X Foldable at the MWC 2019. After that announcement, the release has been postponed a couple of times. The initial plan was to release it in May 2019, but since that time, the trade war between China and the US erupted, Huawei postponed its release.
Huawei Chief Executive Officer Richard Yu assured consumers that the Huawei Mate X would arrive in October 2019. And interestingly, a report from China claims that Huawei Mate X is already in mass production and has met its deadline.
