Samsung and Huawei presented their commitment to the folding smartphone market almost at the same time, with two completely different concepts. While the Galaxy Fold has a screen on the outside and when we open it we find a larger screen, the Huawei Mate X, the whole outside was a screen.
Personally, Samsung's design has always seemed much more practical than Huawei's for different reasons and that they are not only with the physical security of the terminal in the event of an accident. The latest rumors related to the second generation of Huawei's Mate X suggest that It will adopt the same design as the Samsung Z Fold2.
Despite the fact that the Mate X has hardly been seen outside of China, the Asian company is working on a second generation, a second generation of which we do not know anything about its specifications, but about the design, according to Ross Young, CEO. from Display Suppply Chain Consultants, the Mate X 2 will adopt the inward fold design, and not outward like the first generation.
Young also affirms that the main screen will be 8 inches, the same size that we can find in the first generation of the Mate X, a size larger, by very little, than the Galaxy Z Fold2 but that will not use the ultra-thin glass technology of the Samsung terminal. Instead you will use a colorless polyimide film to protect it.
If we take into account that, as confirmed by the company itself, the Mate 40 will be the last smartphone with a Kirin processor, it is most likely that the second generation of Samsung's folding smartphone use a MediaTek or maybe Qualcomm processorNow that the American company has made a request to the American government to be able to sell its processors.
Regarding this issue, it is unlikely that it will come to fruition. Most likely it will finally be Samsung who sells you its processors or they are manufactured, since it has the capacity to do so, although a few weeks ago, the company stated that it would not work with Huawei without specifying the reasons.
