The cancellation of the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, due to risks related to the Covid-19 coronavirus outbreak has not done much to disrupt Huawei's plans. The Chinese manufacturer has gone ahead and unveiled, via an online conference, its latest innovations. They include a folding-screen smartphone, a tablet and a laptop.

One year after the Mate X, Huawei has presented an updated version of its folding-screen smartphone, the Mate Xs. Inheriting its form factor from the Mate X, the new handset still offers an 8in diagonal OLED screen when fully unfolded. However, the design has been made more robust with an upgraded hinge structure and more powerful with a 5G-compatible Kirin 990 chip and 8 GB of RAM.
