            Many people fooled by Huawei Mate X and it was originally designed by Samsung stolen from the Tech Giant.

Huawei's is a moving, flimsy plastic screen, which is just bad design that'll never work.

                        Anonymous, 11 Mar 2019Why would Samsung do this because according to Samsung boys... moreAn outward fold is easier to accomplish, as the the bend radius involved is much larger. It is flashier, but will look far worse for wear in the long run. I would wager that Samsung considered and rejected that design early in the Fold's development.

                              One more thing, Samsung patented this outward fold could reduce the cost of their next device

                                  Real question is how many times can you unfold/fold the device before some serious wear and tear will damage the mechanism?
