Huawei, the Chinese smartphone giant, is always bringing in new and exciting products into the smartphone market. This year can be touted as the re-birth of foldable smartphones.

And Huawei along with Samsung introduced their iteration of the same. Samsung brought in the Galaxy Fold which soon fell prey to the “broken-screen” fiasco and was re-introduced again.

On the other hand, Huawei unveiled the Mate X which is due to launch this later this year. In between, the company also introduced its Mate 30 series family that came without any of the Google services i.e. without any pre-installed Google apps.

Besides, the company is pretty occupied in preparing the EMUI 10 updates for its devices which is based on Android 10. Huawei recently shared a new timeline for the EMUI 10 rollout.
