                Samsung fold is just so bland, basic. The folded form is just useless with a screen that small it looks a quick glance screen of old flip phones. The design is more protective of the main screen but I've got no desire for the design.

                I rather go for the Mate x, put a screen protector on and take my chances with scratches. The design is just so much more seamless, thin, ingeniously usable in both folded to unfolded form. I can see why it's priced higher. It's a more ingenuitive design. Plain and simple.

                          Samsungs fold doesnt fold properly, it leaves a bump on one side and is uneven

                          The Huawei Mate X is leagues ahead. Looks way newer and more futuristic

                            Huawei's is best but should be used with a screen protector and while at it - put the hump on top instead - it makes the overall footprint a little smaller.

                                How are you supposed to lay the Huawei version flat on a surface when folded out with the hump on the back & won't finger print pressure put pressure on the spine in the wrong direction? This format is completely flawed.

                                  vrvly, 10 Mar 2019Not everyone holds the Cat phone and though phones are more... moreLots of words not explaining your non-argument that an exposed, flexible, ultra-thin plastic surface is somehow going to withstand the gruelling wear and tear a pocketed smartphone has to deal with. Remember when all phones were plastic? They used thick, hard plastic as they knew it scratches and breaks. They can't do that with a display. Especially not OLED, that stops working if an area breaks.

                                  Samsung's design is made to last. Huawei's design is not made to be sold. It's pure vapourware. It can not be sold as it will break fast.

                                    I think nobody (users) are taking care about this because apple is not inside this business yet, always happens in that way

                                      No matter how much people stress on innovation... Foldable smartphones are completely unnecessary... Foldable displays are okay for various usages, but smartphones, nah forever will be a gimmick

                                        Fold in or fold out, we will know from the experience of users. One thing for sure, Huawei is ahead of Samsung lately when it comes to innovation and design phones.
