While the Samsung Galaxy Fold and the Huawei Mate X share the quality that their screens can be folded to adapt to different forms, they have very different ideas. The Fold consists of two screens, one external and one internal., While the Mate X has a single panel that opens to look like a tablet, and folds to become a smartphone.
In the presentation made in San Francisco, Samsung surprised the industry with the Galaxy Fold, its two screens and the transition between the two. For its part, the Huawei Mate X dispenses with one of them, and instead of being a phone that turns into a tablet, it is more like a tablet that becomes a phone.
