A new report from China-based publication cnBeta suggests that Huawei’s foldable phone, the Mate X, will launch at the end of October in China.

There is no mention in the report on when this phone is going to be launched globally. The report also adds that the device is expected to launch in limited quantities because of difficulties in manufacturing the phone.

Android Central reported that the limited quantities and releasing only within China at first is in case “any issues occur that force it to do a recall,” a move similar to what Samsung did with the Galaxy Fold.

Rumours of the phone releasing in October can also be attributed to a new unboxing video of the device that has surfaced on Twitter.

The video was shared by Slashleaks’ contributor Teme.
