Huawei warned with its foldable devices after Galaxy Fold problems




Here's a good idea from Huawei, the Chinese manufacturer that has seen its reputation plummet lately thanks to the sanctions imposed on it by the Trump administration: Huawei has delayed the launch of its foldable smartphone from June to September because it is "being more" cautious "after the Samsung foldable device launched , Galaxy Fold, collapsed when tested by reviewers in April. ”This is according to a report from CNBC, a Huawei spokesperson told him the company“ does not want to launch a product to destroy our reputation. ”


However, although you might think that Huawei has become more cautious about designing the hardware for its foldable device (Mate X), the report says the delay is caused by Huawei “conducting additional tests with carriers around the world and developers to make sure their apps work. When the device is fully revealed. '' It looks like the original Chinese manufacturer may have taken the name Samsung for it, perhaps as a way to get some brownie points by reminding people that Samsung's big launch of its foldable phone is going according to plan.
Galaxy Fold problems were not software related


Samsung has missed the Galaxy Fold launch process, but that was due to some hardware issues. The Fold software experience could be related to the improvements, and Samsung seems to be working hard on that front, but none of them were part of the reason why Fold failed in its April release. It appears that Huawei is simply using the Fold issues as an excuse to spend extra time with the foldable device software before putting it into consumers' hands rather than doing it with software updates, which is what it will likely plan to do until it is blacklisted from Google and other North American companies.


Unfortunately, while Huawei is now aiming to launch its foldable device in September, there is still no information on when the Galaxy Fold will go on sale. Samsung hasn't been entirely clear with info on this front, and the latest is the Galaxy Fold won't come out in July. Additional delay could cause the Galaxy Galaxy and Galaxy Note 10 to appear in retail stores close to each other, although we believe the folding will not significantly affect Note 10 sales given the previous $ 2000 price and lack of support for the S Pen.
