Very few Huawei Mate X smartphones at September launch

Huawei is scheduled to launch the Mate X in September and as per a fresh report by IANS, the brand’s first foldable smartphone is expected to be unveiled at the Huawei Developer Conference that will take place in the next few days.

As per a report by GizmoChina, Huawei will be putting limited quantities of the Mate X on sale as there are some concerns regarding the production and supply chain. This handset was initially set to launch in June; however, Huawei held back the release to ensure that it did not face the same fate as the Galaxy Fold fiasco.
