Huawei Mate Xs Teardown: The Most Durable Foldable Yet?

It’s only April, somehow, and we’ve already done teardowns on two foldable phones this year! Now we’ve got our hands on a third, the Huawei Mate Xs. Unlike the other foldables we’ve seen, the Mate Xs wears its fragile plastic OLED screen on the outside, even when folded.

The Mate Xs isn’t sold in the US, and can’t utilize any of Google’s mobile services without a little hacking. Instead, Huawei has built their own suite of services, including an App Gallery and Mobile Cloud service. No Play Store here! Let’s tear it down and see what else Huawei has done to make this $2,700 foldable tick.
