Late 2018 could be anywhere around October to December for Huawei. You need to think of shipping and delivery period too. That foldable phone will come late to users hand. 2019 new chipset will appear just 2 to 3 months later. You the one who dont know anything. -_-

Any phone you buy at second half of this year will immediately not futureproof within 6 months. 2020 seems like a good year to actually buy a well polished concept. Now, everything felt like a prototype that can be further improved. We in the transition of technology 'year'. I want to see more in bezel less concept like Oppo and Vivo too. Also waiting to see the future of notched phone. Hope it be gone.

Competition is always good for the end users. As others mentioned early, being first doesn't mean it is good. Please try make it more usable day to day basis.

Luxor, 27 Jul 2018Being first is definitely not important. First android phon... moreIf it is a premium device it will probably launch with Huawei's next generation flagship CPU. At the point of release it might very well be the most powerful CPU in any android device.
And if Samsung release their product in the first months of 2018, it isn't given that they have a more powerful chipset to put in their device yet.
But for a good foldable phone, one should probably wait 2 years or so, so they have time to perfect the concept.

What worries me, though, is longevity. I wouldn't buy any foldable phone without them tried for at least 18 months.

Max, 27 Jul 2018Yawn... I'm not impressed by bragging rights: whoever makes... moreBeing first is definitely not important. First android phone, HTC, is failing. Huawei seem like rushing this to be first. But little did they know it will come with old chipset and hardware if it release late 2018. Samsung version will come with latest chipsets from 2019. People will prefer the latter than the former. No one want to be outdated. The last one to release it is actually the winner.
