In terms of product form, both folding phones have their own advantages. In terms of the integrity of the screen, Huawei seems to be more comfortable. Whether it is folded or unfolded, MateX has a much larger screen area than GalaxyFold.

And MateX doesn't have any "bangs" and the screen border is very uniform.

However, MateX also has problems. Since the glass cannot be repeatedly bent at normal temperature, the folding screens of MateX and GalaxyFold are made of plastic. Plastics are far less resistant to scratch than glass. Although the GalaxyFold may be scratched due to foreign matter entering the inside of the screen in the folded state. However, MateX in the form of "outer folding" obviously has a greater chance of screen scratching.

In terms of batteries, GalaxyFold and MateX both use the design of a battery on the left and right sides of the fuselage. The GalaxyFold is 4380mAh and supports fast charging, wireless charging and reverse wireless charging. The MateX battery has a capacity of 4500 mAh and a maximum charging power of 55 W, but there is no mention of wireless charging.
