After selling more than 100,000 Mate X units, Huawei is already headed towards the release of its second iteration. Sadly, the display of this innovative piece of technology seems to be just as frail as that of its main competitor and repairing it costs as much as US$1,000.

Again, the glass. If the glass screen materializes, then adoption becomes practical for most consumers.
I think they should just skip foldables and go all the way to projected 3D interfaces for wrist-worn mobile devices. That would really be a nice leap forward. Foldables only have the wow factor, if you ask me. Not worth when compared to classic smartphones for most consumers, I think.

...holograms? AR seems more within reach.
What a sloppy article. No figures or proper sources cited. It reads like a thoughtless opinion piece on a public forum.

You won't get any. This model only sells in China and Chinese media are not free to discuss negatives of Huawei. Remember that the editor who exposed P30P's moon faking was fired under the pretense of libel before he was proven innocent. You only get a few shots of dead Mate X's here and there from consumers who not only could afford this model but also go out of their way to expose the issue.
