    So Apple gets a media storm, memes, countless hate videos for less than 1% bent iPhones while Samsung gets away with 100% defected bent phones that break?

    No. In a word.

    Samsung didn't ship any and 100% didn't break. Also, if they are near ready to launch it is probably that the fixes were minor. Probably important but minor.

    We'll now have to wait for the new official date.

    Still a PR disaster but the phone itself might not be as much of a hardware failure as some thought. When it reaches users, we'll know soon enough.
    It's a disaster in every way. But I love that you think it's somehow a good thing that they can't make a decent shipping product. I don't know why Samsung would have a Fanboy - but it's nice to meet you.
    Considering you've never even used one, your claim is a bold one.

    I prefer to let the device stand or fall on its own merits.

    Maybe I'm old fashioned.
    Your defense of the yet unreleased Mate X is noted as the subtext of your defense of Samsung's Galaxy Fold.

    Sucks that Huawei decided to wait to release their Mate X when they could have pimped Samsung's return to market, given your extensive defense of their "delay".

    For the record, the Galaxy Fold was so poorly designed, that people thought they were peeling off a protective cover...and the mechanicals of the hinges were failing virtually overnight.

    But true that these were "evaluation" units, not units shipped to customers, as if there is a difference in production.
    Kind of adds weight to those other potential reasons mentioned.

    And it wasn't a 'defence'. I put some facts on the table and speculated a bit.
    I got my degree in Mechanical Engineering more than 3 decades ago, and I work in manufacturing everyday, so when you speak wrt manufacturing or design, I roll my eyes.

    Really, this would be a good time to just shut the fuck up and stop "speculating" with your PR skillset.
    What are you trying to say?

    In the absence of real information all we have left is speculation. Perhaps in your engineering  degree world things are different but out in the real world you don't need an engineering degree to speak on the Mate X delay. Unless of course you have seen Huawei make a specific and unique claim to an engineering design problem (and you haven't).

    In the absence of that (and that is the case - there is no such reference) there are many reasons (and not mutually exclusive either) that come into play and they include areas that were not even touched on in the news of the Mate X delay and potentially far removed from manufacturing and/or engineering.

    Now, I'm lucky because I get to speak to a lot of people from different technical and non technical fields and at a high level. Being able to draw from a wealth of opinion gives me more than enough confidence to speak on many subjects at this level.

    Maybe I should roll my eyes too whenever you talk about anything you don't have a degree in. LOL!
    Can you shed some light on how to frame your comments? What do you do for a living? I’m always happy to give context to my posts and share that I’m a former golden era dot-com’er and now an enterprise contract developer. How about you? What makes you an expert opinion on chinese knockoffs? What context do we put your bold, ultra-confident comments in?
    I am an oldie like you. 

    No need to frame my comments in any particular way. They stand on their own, just like the comment you are referring to.

    The bolded comment followed an 'unless':

    "Unless of course you have seen Huawei make a specific and unique claim to an engineering design problem (and you haven't)."

    It was bolded because for him to validate his comments something would need to exist from Huawei that pointed to an engineering design problem. No such comments have been made.

    Here is part of what was said (from the original CNBC report):

    "    But the spokesperson confirmed the official launch will take place in September. He said that the company was doing extra testing with mobile carriers around the world and developers to make sure their apps work when the device is fully unfolded"

    https://www.cnbc.com/2019/06/14/huawei-will-delay-mate-x-foldable-phone-launch-until-september.html

    I see nothing in there that so much as touches on an engineering design problem in the league of the Samsung issues. Do you?

    That doesn't mean there aren't issues. Not in the slightest. It means we don't (and can't know) exactly why there was a delay beyond 'extra testing'.

    There could be all manner of questions and I took the time to highlight some of them. Drawing on comments by executives and my own speculation based on what I know from all kinds of sources.

    As for what I do, most of my work involves 'preparing' people for their work. Often this involves working with them or their teams to present robust arguments and counter arguments in 'debate' situations. It could be to win an EU science grant for a particular project, defending the creation of a gene bank at a regional hospital, politics, education, science etc.

    A few years ago my work centred mainly on science, education and data centers. Now there is more of a spread but the work itself is basically getting people ready to debate something and arm them with the tools to reach their goals. 'Communication' is the root of everything. Quite a bit of lunching with people in positions of influence and from high tech spheres (super computing, plastics, telecoms etc). It changes all the time.

    I also teach English to people who don't have the means to study for themselves. I've also done Spanish language rock jounalism. I've also worked for the UK government.

    What makes me an expert on Chinese telecoms companies? I didn't know I was.

    If you are asking what makes me able to comment on Huawei in particular, you already know. I made it clear many times. The same that makes me able to comment on Apple.

    I don't see the hypocrisy because I have no idea what you are getting at.

    Oh, by the way, Rev A fell on its own merits.

    But good luck on Rev B.
    But as no product has actually shipped...

    Better to wait for it, right?
