"Breaks two phones with one drop": Netizens react to foldable Huawei Mate X
“It used to be I don’t have money, so I buy Huawei. But now, it's I don’t have money to buy Huawei.”
China's smartphone market is really, really price-conscious. It's a cutthroat battle to deliver the best specs for the lowest possible price -- a battle that even Apple is losing.
So you'd think this wouldn't be a prime market for Huawei's US$2,600 foldable Mate X smartphone. And for most people, it is totally out of reach. But still, there's no shortage of excitement about the device on Chinese social media.
Many say the Mate X is far more impressive than its competitor, Samsung's Galaxy Fold, pointing out that Huawei's device is far more practical when folded because it has a much larger screen.
Not everyone's impression is positive. Some wonder about how durable it is, with the phone's screen wrapping around the entire outside of the device.
