The current US trade ban that restricts companies like Google from selling technologies to Chinese companies like Huawei may have affected one of the most impressive foldable smartphones of 2019 or 2020. The clever design of Huawei Mate X is far better than the book-shaped design of the Samsung Galaxy Fold. A new report claims the latecomer in the foldable smartphone arena, Motorola Razr 2019 can beat the Huawei Mate X with a couple of features.
The clever design of the Huawei Mate X is a significant improvement when compared to the Samsung Galaxy Fold. When the display is folded back, the exposed edge turns into a bezel and blacks out with the help of palm rejection technology. Meanwhile, the Motorola Razr 2019 folds into nearly half of its extended size, which is half the size of the traditional handset.
While the Motorola Razr 2019 when folded becomes pocketable and compact, the Huawei Mate X significantly transforms from a big device into a far bigger device when folded. The book-shaped foldable device from the Chinese tech titan essentially doubles in thickness as compared to the standard handset when folded. Productivity wise, this feature beats the smaller half the size screen of Motorola Razr 2019.
However, the exposed display of the Huawei Mate X that serves as a bezel when collapsed could also be its vulnerability, according to Forbes. There will be problems in the long run, and Huawei has to have a robust and fair repair or replacement policy for this. The current issue is that there are suggestions that early replacement of the displays could cost around $1000 according to a leak.
Samsung's Galaxy Fold display replacement only costs $149 while Motorola Razr 2019 offers free repair and replacement policy. With Huawei's astronomically high repair or replacement price, the Chinese tech company has to be competitive and realistic. Realistically, the introduction of foldable phones will pave the way for a new era of issues for manufacturers in terms of the warranty.
Because of this, companies must have at least a competitive and fair replacement or repair policy for its flimsy technology. Motorola Razr 2019 already started the warranty price war by providing a free 24 hours turnaround service should the display fail. Should problems outside the display exist during normal use, replacement or repair is available for free too.
If the damage occurs outside the guarantee, the replacement of display only costs $299. While the Motorola Razr 2019 could only provide half the display Huawei Mate X could provide, it is less exposed to damage. It offers a free repair service and affordable repair or replacement after warranty.
