I have the mate xs 2 for almost a month now. It's an absolute joy to use. I understand the concern about durability of the screen but from experience it feels tough enough for everyday use.

I'm also sold to the idea of outward folding screen for this size of foldable. The design of the xs2 with the thin screen that aligns to the thick part on the back (that houses the cameras) when folded is just genius . You have to hold it to appreciate how thin it is. When unfolded it feels like any current sized smartphone but can go big when needed ...that's what I like about it. On the contrary for flip 3, it is rightfully designed to be inward folding. I've been using the flip for 2 years and it's what made me a believer of folding screen's durability.

Xs 2 is expensive for sure but I like the design so much that for me it's worth it. Now, the lack of GMS is a bummer, no getting around that, GSpace makes up for it but Wear OS just won't work anymore. All other Google and GMS dependent app works just fine.

Again, for me the design works very well that it justifies the price and the GMS inconvenience . It's the only "foldable" that doesn't look (and feel) like a foldable when folded.

I am typing this on a YouTube running on GSpace, btw

These things are going to returned en masse. The last model had massive durability issues. Living in Shanghai people were constantly taking them back to huawei demanding refunds and getting them repaired. The screen is a soft flexible plastic and the display is an AMOLED. Even a small amount of point pressure can kill one pixel or an entire line of pixels. What does that mean? If this is in your pocket and you bump into the edge of a table, your phone is now broken. And unlike the samsung design, where the screen is protected, and even if it does get broken the outer screen ensures the phone remains functional, this will be entirely broken if you damage the screen. It's a horrid design. Even putting it in your pocket runs the risk of seriously damaging the phone. Saw one guy who had destroyed his because a piece of metal on his jeans rubbed across the screen while he took it out of his pocket.

The samsung design has inherent redundancy, break one screen and you still have another. That alone makes it far superior in my opinion. That and the spen support.

It looks super cool.
Yet I would be quite uncomfortable about the fragility of it.

The price tag from the foldables are disgusting, the Huawei Mate Xs 2 has the same price than my first car from 2012 🥲

Yes, I tried it with Blackberries and Windows phone it was horrible. Loved the hardware but it needs Google services for me.

Even though the Huawei smartphone lacks google play store support. Is still a great phone one can have

Other than the screen's durability, I still think this is the best foldable form factor. It is a shame though that huawei is the only manufacturer producing this form factor. Their phones are great but it nearly impossible to recommend buying their product. from outdated specs, no 5g support, and lack of google services, their phones have to much limitation.

Well for many it's a deal breaker. Even apple has Google services.

As a Z fold 3 owner I really can't see this outward fold thing catching on. 90% of the reason I got a fold is because I know that in the event that my inner screen gets damaged, I have a perfectly good flagship phone on the front. With this I'd just be constantly worried since there's no backup screen.
