TREE NEWS update: Huawei executive director and terminal BG chairman Yu Chengdong said on November 15 that large foldables have become the primary phone for 10 million users, marking the eighth year of the Mate X series. He added that the upcoming Huawei Mate X8 will bring new breakthroughs in display, imaging and performance.
Huawei’s Yu Chengdong: Large Foldables Now Primary Phone for 10 Million Users
The significance here is less the milestone itself than what it signals about foldables moving from a niche experiment to a genuine daily-driver category in Huawei's home market, a shift with implications for the premium handset segment broadly. The claim comes from Huawei's own executive, so it functions as a positioning statement as much as a data point, and the teaser for display, imaging and performance gains suggests the company intends to defend its lead in the large-foldable form factor. Whether rivals treat this as a validated category to enter, or continue ceding it, is the open question worth watching.
