Sometimes leaks happen in the most unexpected places and at the most unexpected times, like… an advertising billboard . Huawei 's foldable phone has been unexpectedly spotted in Barcelona, giving us a first glimpse of what it looks like. Take a look.
Huawei Mate X, the first foldable of the firm
Although it is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated events of Sunday - and you can check out the MWC 2019 agenda and what we will see at the fair here - few imagined that it would be so easily revealed two days before.
Yes, we're talking about the Huawei Mate X , the Chinese company's first foldable phone, which will make its debut in Barcelona on the 24th, much to the delight of everyone attending its press conference. By then, many will have already seen the image currently circulating online: a photo of an advertising poster for the phone, clearly showing its design, taken by a Twitter user nicknamed @gimme2pm (you can see the tweet below) and quickly shared by the folks at Slashleaks.

In the capture, you can see two scaffolding with people working to place that large poster in which the phone can be seen in up to three different positions: closed, half open and fully deployed.
Alongside the terminals, it can also be read that it will have 5G connectivity and that it will be called Mate X , thus confirming its commercial name.
As you may have already noticed, the device opens and closes differently from Samsung's Galaxy Fold : while the Korean device folds with the screen facing inwards, Huawei's folds it facing outwards, so it will be very interesting to see and test which of the two methods is more convenient or if, on the contrary, its opening and closing position is irrelevant to the user.

Another big question surrounding the current situation, besides its specifications, is when it will go on sale and, above all, what its price will be. Samsung has taken a gamble with a device that will cost $1.980, so we'll have to see how Huawei, accustomed to increasingly challenging the Galaxy brand with more competitive prices , responds . The betting is officially on.
