I tried Huawei?s foldable Mate Xs ? it?s badass, but fucking expensive

You know, it looks like this:In fact, if you’re been following the trials and tribulations of the foldable devices, the Mate Xs will probably be familiar to you — because it’s just an upgraded version of the Mate X.Don’t worry though, that phone never got a release outside of China, so it’s not like this is just a bit of marketing to try and boost sales, it is an actual new device for the West.While many of the Mate Xs’ specs are identical to its predecessor, the Mate X (this is going to get confusing), Huawei has made a few upgrades.The main improvement is that foldable screen. The Mate Xs, on the other hand, has a little button you click to release the catch and unfold it.It means that unfurling the device doesn’t feel as natural as the Galaxy Fold, but I’d assume the little catch will protect the hinge over the course of time.When it comes to the actual motion of the unfolding, the Mate Xs is quite stiff — but I assume this is because it’s new and that it’ll loosen up a bit over the coming months. While I enjoyed my time with the phone, there are still too many unknowns and teething problems for me to be convinced it’s worth that much cash.When you consider the fact there’s not only the strong possibility of hardware problems, but also the lack of Google apps will make using the device tougher than usual, the Mate Xs doesn’t seem like the wisest purchase right now.I don’t want to pass proper judgement until I get my hands on one for a prolonged period of time, but I can’t see the Mate Xs being a best seller.
