Huawei has revealed that the launch of the folding Mate X — which was originally supposed to happen this month — won’t take place until September. On Friday, Huawei told CNBC that the company is delaying the launch of the Mate X, which was first unveiled in February, until September to extend product testing — not because of its US blacklisting. After observing Samsung’s Galaxy Fold debacle from the sidelines, a spokesperson admitted that, “We don’t want to launch a product to destroy our reputation.” Huawei is allegedly taking extra time to ensure that the device is fully functional no matter which mobile carrier it is running on.
