and finally the Huawei Mate X comes to light Despite the fact that she dressed long and with all the honors at the Mobile World Congress, it has not been until two days ago when she has reached the shop windows. It supposes a delay of nine months - in which everything has happened to Huawei. With what price does it finally arrive? to which markets? And above all, do you have the services of Google or not?
Huawei Mate X finally on sale
As promised, after a considerable delay, Huawei has finally put its Mate X. The company had plans to market your foldable phone at the beginning of the summer, but they finally extended the launch in stores until the last quarter of the year.
At the moment the only foldable phone that is for sale is the Samsung. This one had a failed launch which forced the firm to withdraw positions and postpone its release. Finally, the Korean team was put on the market with a high label (2.020 euros) and the hope that some other user would approve the experiment.
Meanwhile, another firm has made a move: Motorola. The brand, under the tutelage of Lenovo, presented just a few days ago its Motorola RAZR 2019, which has nothing to do with what we have seen so far in terms of design. Instead of being a regular smartphone that "converts" into a tablet and folds like a book, the new generation of the legendary RAZR is committed to a tremendously compact unit that, at the same time, unfold vertically it becomes a "conventional" phone, at least as far as proportions are concerned. Yesterday we told you about our very first impressions with the team in our YouTube Channel -Have you subscribed yet?
Now it's the turn of Huawei. His proposal was quite successful at the Barcelona telephone fair and its cost is similar to that of Samsung (U.S. dollar 2.400). Of course, its deployment will not be as you imagine: for the moment the equipment has only been put up for sale in China, and in limited quantities, with the promise that more will arrive in a few days. Nothing is known about the rest of the countries at the moment..
Huawei Mate X: without Google services
What is the reason for this delay in the rest of the markets? Well, obviously due to the lack of Google services due to the veto that Trump has a tax on the Asian firm. While in China this is a "lesser evil" -remember that in the country access to Google services are disabled by default-, in other regions it is a major handicap for users.

La dependence It is such that Huawei does not want to risk putting such an expensive device in the windows (not only in its sale, but in its production) that it knows in advance that it will hardly sell without having access to the usual applications.
This has caused a change in its roadmap that we do not know how long it will take to be updated. Meanwhile, we have no choice but to put our teeth long.
