After watching the actual handling videos of this device and the videos by Samsung for its fold I looked at the options offered and practicality of these phones;
The Huawei Mate X when folded gives you a full smart phone with 6.6" which by all standards is enough for all smartphone use scenarios. it also gives you all what their flagship phones have to offer including media consumption, emails, social media, etc. When unfolded it basically gives you an 8" tablet with all tablet features and awesome speakers. This tablet mode for most users will be 25% (or less) of the time as the folded form is more than enough for most users. This factor will reduce need for unfolding constantly and help reduce wear and tear. So in summary, you have a huge screen flagship smartphone and a flagship tablet when folded and unfolded respectively.
Samsung Galaxy fold on the other hand when folded offers a below average and non-usable (by todays standards) smartphone with a 4.6" screen and a ratio that makes it a tad better than a feature phone. When unfolded, it gives a 7.2" screen which is not exactly a tablet and borders a big screen phone territory in a very uncomfortable way. In otherwords, to type an sms or WhatsApp message, you have to unfold the device, to send an email or do anything on social media, you have to unfold the device. The folded form is only good for calls and can't be used conveniently to thumb type (basically a feature phone). its essentially a touch enabled Nokia 9210i giving you a folded option which is a feature phone and an unfolded option which is an oversized smartphone. Most importantly, an unfortunate buyer will end up unfolding it 90% of the time which will quickly wear the hinge mechanism and eventually result in a very expensive repair and ownership cost.
The Huawei Mate X is value for money while the Galaxy fold is a 1980's tech enthusiast's fantasy.

Foldable Device (in this case Galaxy Fold) without a built in stylus (like Note Series) is wothless... I like Samsung devices... but seriously.... This amount of cash without an S-Pen lookalike (It's a a tablet if you open it in the long run). So it is crap at the current state. I hope at some later generation they will upgrade it.

Reasons for picking fold vs huawei's X.
1. Inward folding, protect your bigger screen compared to outward folding. (So basically you can still get glass tempered screen protector for front screen. huawei x will have a harder time to get screen protector.
2. Multiple Camera placement, take selfie / photo in any configuration.
3. Due to inward folding, samsung is able to place reverse charging on the other side. So you can charge your watch / bt earphone when folded.
4. Cheaper price.
5. Higher memory compared to huawei. 12gb vs 8gb. * means little IMO.
6. One hand operation easier on Fold, due to smaller screen, and larger bezels.
In terms of looks, Huawei looks good. But when it comes to functional use, I feel Samsung got it right.

I like this phone itÂ’s like two phone together and it have soild build bulky body for more protection although I am not fun of the notch on the right side,
I like the small body (flipped mode) makes it easy to carry around

A couple things not mention.
Scratches. With the outside screen and especially at the corners on the Huawei phone it is bound to get scratches at some point. BAD. Also you cant put a cover or any type of protector on the phone. BAD. At least with the Samsung phone its closed while in your pocket so all the precious screen is somewhat protected. Just my 2 cent.
