Yup. Huawei has always been amazing. Their phones have always been right up there with Samsung's and Apple's, sometimes even better. Always had incredible hardware, exciting features and overall great phones . Wish they were still relevant, they'd help push innovation further, as well as maybe keep smartphone prices from skyrocketing?
The part about it ‘feeling’ lighter due to a shifted center of mass is more than just feeling, it’s real physics. As far as torsional forces go, you can multiply the weight by how far away it is from your hand and that will give you the weight you experience instead of just what it weighs. Never seen that concept used in a phone before, but I like it for these folding phones
@@badplayer4348 Nope, cause most left handed people like me hold their phones with their left hand mainly and use right hand for scrolling and such, and that makes it such a pain to hold

@@davidlegkodukh6969 idk why people think this phone is 10x better than the z fold 2. I have one as well and the front screen is more than serviceable. If anything I love the feel of a slimmer screen in my hand. It feels solid and I don't have to worry about reaching so far with one hand.
It's disappointing that it won't be coming to the US, but this definitely is the best foldable so far. I'm excited to see how this pushes the industry to improve!
@@Z3t487 no google support on Huawei hardware since it is banned by the US. Google and even Snapdragon chips are no longer allowed on Huawei phones or laptops or tablets. Also the OS isn't Android, it's a custom Operating System called Harmony OS. Made specifically for Huawei phones. Because it doesn't have Android you can also not download any Google Play store apps either. So everything has to come from the Harmony store... I love what Huawei is doing, they have amazing tech. But if there are red flags, it's best to just avoid it until they get their stuff worked out.

Fold for the left and right handed . That why the weight maintain balanced. Plus the smaller 6.2 cover screen make it easy for the one handed typing . Why make the cover screen bigger while you got bigger when unfold it
It feels like Marques is the real life Marty McFly who has come from the future to inform us about future tech, and when it arrives subtly brags that he was right all along 😂

Your brain should also tell you to not buy Huawei or any Chinese brand, unless you're capable of flashing your own os (and even then, hardware is suspicious)
@@nikotakai8796 absolutely right, its a huge problem. I am aiming to use only libre hardware and software but its not yet possible. Best you can do is avoid worst offenders, degoogle your phone and use Linux instead of windows. Pinephone is very promising, but its not yet there
Certainly quite a lot generations. It'll be a fuckfest of compromises for a long, long time. While paying a hefty premium. Oh and if you use a Phone more like a tool, like I do, hence: having it at work (not an office job), not paying to much attention, droping it, dust and all of that good stuff, that things ain't gonna be reliable for a long time.
No mention that the screen is either open or shut. You can't use it like a keyboard. The hinge doesn't sit halfway or wherever you want it to sit like the z-fold 2
Most of what you listed are upgrades to what is already there. They need to refine the design. Huawei did everything I believed the Fold 2 should have done when I had the Fold 1. Samsung needs to slim down the phone, minimize the gap and flatten the hinge (when closed). The phone needs to be more pocketable.
@@Xiko_GD He said "this device was just released and I have one to test" they send him a free phone which he reviews. Then the RUclips video gets lots of views and he gets paid.

@@IkeCoblentz maybe someone send it to him the way BenTechReviews got his review unit, it doesn’t have to be the brand since the phone sold out the moment it came out
One problem with it closing in full is that dust or anything like that can get sandwiched between the inner screen. That could damage the comparatievly weak inner screen. After using z fold 3, I can say that the narrower cover screen is mostly enough and one hand usage is very good. It kind of masks the weight when folded.
I have never seen Marques so impressed and happy, almost a child like enthusiasm in this one.

@@TK-on7cz The US banned Huawei because they were found to have ties with the CCP and the PLA and have caught multiple Hauwei employees trying to steal trade secrets from US companies and labeled them a national security threat.
Isn't this already what the Fold 2 has looked like for almost a year?

Karen is powerful af. I'll let her know 😋
This means next year's chip will be over... Huawei better not sleep on this opportunity to release a special addition Toriyama collab phone .
What's wrong with people? Karen was supposed to be a joke. It's actually Kirin 9000.....

this reminded me of The Truman Show.
Why?
Hey Marques, I found a way to get the Google Play Store.
HUAWEI App Gallery > Search for Gspace and then download it. Once it's done downloading > Choose an app that you don't want to download and so you can use it as a shortcut to the GPS. When you download a app it will be stored under the Gspace App. I have done a virus cheak and the app has succeeded. (I'm not the developer of Gspace)
The wedge design is unique. I like it.

Huawai took the Galaxy Fold and made it good. So important the front screen can be used as a phone too. Just needs OneUI now.
As someone with a Z Fold 2 it is not that bad
@@davidlegkodukh6969 Yeah Samsung can learn 1, 2 thing from this Mate X2 but tbh Z Fold 2 is still amazing on its own especially compared to og Fold, Fold 2 is such a huge leap forward. Cool phone u got there btw. I wish I could afford one. Z Fold 3 & Z Flip 3 is coming soon, can't wait 😁
@@davidlegkodukh6969 idk why people think this phone is 10x better than the z fold 2. I have one as well and the front screen is more than serviceable. If anything I love the feel of a slimmer screen in my hand. It feels solid and I don't have to worry about reaching so far with one hand.
Imagine fold phone combines with its own magic keyboard. PC, tablet, and phone in one!
First folding phone where I've gone, "Yeah I could see myself using this!" Great job Huawei!
It's disappointing that it won't be coming to the US, but this definitely is the best foldable so far. I'm excited to see how this pushes the industry to improve!
No point since no one would wanna buy it without the Google services and stuff.
@@user-bm9fo5kr1l Why no Google Services? Because they install something alternative? Bad for them, the USA market is huge.
@@Z3t487 no google support on Huawei hardware since it is banned by the US. Google and even Snapdragon chips are no longer allowed on Huawei phones or laptops or tablets.
Also the OS isn't Android, it's a custom Operating System called Harmony OS. Made specifically for Huawei phones. Because it doesn't have Android you can also not download any Google Play store apps either. So everything has to come from the Harmony store...
I love what Huawei is doing, they have amazing tech. But if there are red flags, it's best to just avoid it until they get their stuff worked out.
@@Z3t487 The government won't let them
@@SlyMcfly Harmony OS is still based on Android. Android is an open project so there wasn't anything stopping Huawei from cointinuing to ship it.

Can you make an updated video of this X2 vs the Fold 3 now that we have that one out?
To be honest I didn't even realize this was a folding phone until like 30 seconds into the video. Shows how good folding phones are getting.
still needs 2-3 years more, main thing is software, waiting for apple, there ios or ipad os on foldale will be wow just wow....

Yes
I have been using this beast for two weeks now and I must say it's a great phone, hoping next generation comes with wireless charging and with a stylus pen
so how do you like it
Where do you get this phone?
Unless you are from china, its almost impossible to buy this phone. It cost 5000 usd here
How do you get it and how do u bypass Google without it? Mainly App Store?
@@wanterbaik you can buy it from China and then ship it to otherplace

Not if your are unlucky enough to be left handed! Perhaps they'll do a left handed version.
@@jonwelch564 You can just rotate your phone upside down for left-hand usage since it got a gravity sensor inside... it's like a fundamental feature for phones that people always forget
@@jixuandong3465 to a degree. I have a Galaxy Z Fold 2 and I use a third party app to get this to happen correctly. Not that I'm left handed. Charger port and camera will then be upside down.

Fold for the left and right handed . That why the weight maintain balanced. Plus the smaller 6.2 cover screen make it easy for the one handed typing . Why make the cover screen bigger while you got bigger when unfold it

Do you like the Z Fold 2? Cuz this is pretty much almost the same
But with google play 💀
Time for the US goverment to allow Google to provide
G suite to Huawei. It's not Huawei's fault that play service is not on their fabulous devices.
If only Huawei still had Google services, it would have dethroned Samsung by now
you can side load all the google services.
Yes, thanks TRUMP
@@SuperKingRiz how ? Loke do you get the apks?
Still NO
Not only google service. Huawei was never allowed to sell with bonded with carriers in the US. If Huawei can be sold regularly like Samsung, that would be another story.
say it with me guys "i would rather have a thicker phone than a camera bump" phones do not need to be razer thin
i remember when smartphones used to market themselves based on how thin they were.
@@hyperbrug9328 Which phone company? I remember most phones as really bulky, iPhone, samsung , motorola. All of them were pretty thick back then
@@Nxtn really? look at major smartphone releases from like 2012 onwards. every reveal they advertised that their new phone is x% thinner than the previous gen
@@hyperbrug9328 Well it depends on the definition of thin, back then everything was bulky

4:03 "That. Is. A good. Hinge right there. It's a good hinge. Shout out to the hinge engineers. The hingeneers of course" You're overwhelmingly hilarious Marques 😂
My heart tells me I want it now but my brain is telling me to wait a few generations.
Or wait for the Fold 3.
Your brain should also tell you to not buy Huawei or any Chinese brand, unless you're capable of flashing your own os (and even then, hardware is suspicious)
@@Mbeluba Yeah, I bet you have a Made in. China product in your house no matter what.
@@nikotakai8796 absolutely right, its a huge problem. I am aiming to use only libre hardware and software but its not yet possible. Best you can do is avoid worst offenders, degoogle your phone and use Linux instead of windows. Pinephone is very promising, but its not yet there
Certainly quite a lot generations. It'll be a fuckfest of compromises for a long, long time. While paying a hefty premium.
Oh and if you use a Phone more like a tool, like I do, hence: having it at work (not an office job), not paying to much attention, droping it, dust and all of that good stuff, that things ain't gonna be reliable for a long time.

Again! I’m binging ur channel for like an hour and just when I’m about to be done he releases a video. I’m not complaining tho...
No mention that the screen is either open or shut. You can't use it like a keyboard. The hinge doesn't sit halfway or wherever you want it to sit like the z-fold 2
This one has sold me into foldable phones. I picture myself watching favorite movies and series.
I must admit I am impressed as well but I live in the US 🇺🇸, so impressed as I may be without Google? I'm good!

I like your listing
@Oliver Lundström google apps?
Most of what you listed are upgrades to what is already there. They need to refine the design. Huawei did everything I believed the Fold 2 should have done when I had the Fold 1.
Samsung needs to slim down the phone, minimize the gap and flatten the hinge (when closed). The phone needs to be more pocketable.
@Oliver Lundström oh i didnt see that lol
just wow! finally a phone where watching movie is much pleasurable.

You know you can rotate the phone by 180 degrees?
same thing for left hand too! u always grab the thicker side and the screen will adjust it! pretty smart design...

"The engineers the Hinge-neers"
Lolllll
😂
One problem with it closing in full is that dust or anything like that can get sandwiched between the inner screen. That could damage the comparatievly weak inner screen. After using z fold 3, I can say that the narrower cover screen is mostly enough and one hand usage is very good. It kind of masks the weight when folded.
