We asked, you told us: You’d buy the HUAWEI Mate X over the Samsung Galaxy Fold
June 23, 2025
If there was a theme toMWC 2019, there would be two:5Gandfoldable smartphones. While 5G networks are still in the works and will likely start slowly rolling out this year, many believe that foldable phones still need some time to develop.
Despite this, bothSamsungandHuaweihave announced devices with foldable displays that it plans to sell to the general public in a matter of months. So we decided to ask you, which of these two phone/tablet hybrids would you bewilling to spend your money on. Here are the results.
Samsung Galaxy Fold or HUAWEI Mate X?
As you can see, roughly 39 percent of the 60,000+ people who voted in this week’s poll across thewebsite,Twitter,Facebook, andYouTubewould buy theHUAWEI Mate Xin its current form over theSamsung Galaxy Fold.
Looking through the comments, it appears that most prefer the Mate X because of the larger display while being used as a phone and because of the lay-flat design. Of course, people were quick to criticize that having a plastic screen on both sides of the device would likely lead to scratches and other forms of damage if dropped.
As expected, about a third of those who participated voiced that they wouldn’t buy either phone. Many stated that they didn’t think foldable phones were ready yet for the consumer market while others just wanted to wait until more handsets were released before making a decision.
I am personally more fond of the Samsung Galaxy Fold, so I found these results surprising. While I dislike the small 4.6-inch display around front, having the larger tablet-like display hidden within seemed like the smarter route to go. The fact alone that keeping the device closed protects the screen from scratches was enough for me to prefer the Galaxy Fold over the Mate X.
