There's a way to get around it, I pay 30 yuan (～$5) on taobao (amazon/ebay) for a guy to remote control my X2 using Huawei's remote help app and install google services, I would say when Hamorny OS drops, dont update to it, still dont know if it supports google services since it's not really android anymore. And there's many videos on installing google service on YT, I install google seevice for my P40 Pro 6 months ago following YT tutorial, but X2 is a bit tricky so I didnt do it myself. Anyway it is a great phone and probly the last Huawei phone that supports google service, I hope this info is helpful, cheers
Very informative in depth review! I was searching for at least one full review of X2 on UA-cam and seems that you were the only one who did this. Hats off. Watching it from zfold 3 and x2 feels a little bit modern but the price is significantly higher.
I remember well the very first videos of Chris I watched way back and the NZ accent, being used to American and British, was very noticeable. After so many hours listening to him, I'm confident in saying this is my default English now.
@@chaikagaz If you are selling kidneys the buyers would be from anywhere in the world. The despicable practice of buying and selling kidneys is a worldwide shame and should be condemned as such.
Definitely the best foldable smartphone design, heck even better compared to the upcoming Mi Mix Fold. It's pretty shame that Mate X3 (potential Mate X2 successor) might not be going to happen due to Huawei's current situation, otherwise we would be interested to see the design improvement made by that company.
Truly the dream phone! A smart phone and a tablet👍👍. It's mind boggling how much the mate X2 is, estaticly more appealing than the Z fold 2. A great review Chris of a beautiful peace Tech👏👏
@@Natsukashii1111 Regardless of the pricetag, it's a step in the right direction. And with time hopefully foldable phones become more affordable. That's the case with most technology!
@@03Chris25 I think the price is fair for the emerging technology. I wouldn't buy because of my current financial standing. But if finances were different I would support it. TCL new foldables look promising and should be a little more affordable. And hopefully they don't also get blacklisted.
@@Late_AyeF I was more interested in the new Xiaomi foldable, since it is more closer to 1700 dollars, and that is cheap in terms of the foldable world. Unless manufacturers can justify the foldable form factor to the masses, I don't see the foldables "dominating the US" or anywhere in the world.
@@03Chris25 it's just a matter of time and refinement. Probably a lot of time unfortunately. But I do think it is the future. I think the rolling aspect of the TCL will be transformative.

But that's just me.
@@Late_AyeF True, I wouldn't matter a bigger tablet sized screen with a portability of a normal smartphone, but there are some problems with physics that manufacturers really need to overcome before it gets mainstream.

I have got my own huawei mate x2 for 2 weeks, very satisfied with it except the weight. Hopefully this unit is strong enough that i can use it for at least 4-5years!
Glad to hear you are a fold-type phone believer! So we can expect you would review the Xiaomi Mix Fold as soon as it's available then? Thanks and keep up the great work!
Yes, this one looks way better than Samsung's fold. I like the wider out screen but I absolutely despise that unnecessary pill shaped cutout. Is it possible to hide it or you have to embrace it a lo Samsung with the hole punch?
@@wickdaman Yes, there was a setting to hide the hole punch in Samsung's phones until Android 11. Now you can't anymore. I was wondering if Huawei decided to do the same.
Thank you for the great review Chris. Can I just ask, when you open it to tablet view could the front phone screen that is face down be easily damaged,?
My Fold is holding up find just a lot of scratching on the screen protector. So it's highly recommended to keep the outer screen protector on it as using it as a tablet it will get marked from tablets etc.
Really enjoyed this video! I'm a visually impaired user who sought out the Mate 20x for its sheer size, only to discover it had magnificent cameras and 30 x zoom that allows me to see things I usually cannot! Now the screen size and zoom capabilities of this phone dwafs what I already find to be so impressive would be amazing for a guy like me. My curiosity is abounding how well Harmony OS would work in Kansas USA. Thank you for saying super quick when referring to refresh rate! So much better than butter.
Thank you. I hate that stupid "butter s....." I won't even mention it. You'll never find me saying that it's terrible way to describe something. Just like insane or dope. Whatever they use, I can't stand it.
Love this most advance tech handphone. Mate x2 just beat its current competitor hands down. Your presentation is real objective and loving it and do keep your style. Any change another comparison with the new xiaomi might mix fold?
Huawei's camera performance is always breathtaking. I've been hoping I might be able to get a P40 for under $400 by now, but it just hasn't happened. Are you able to use Google Maps and League of Legends Wild Rift with Vanced MicroG?
Awesome review man! You know better and explaine way better than western reviewers. Huawei makes the best smartphones on the market! They have the best R&D. I own a P40 and i got used to it without google. I use UA-cam Vanced, which is UA-cam premium. For downloading apps and games i use, Huawei own store, appGallery and apkpure store. I have everything i need, Huawei browser, Huawei cloud storage 100gb and lots of better alternatives to gms.
Awesome review Chris! I hope you get hold of the Xiaomi Mix Fold as well! I'd love to hear your opinion on using the 'desktop' they've made available on it!
I have this. Bought from Alibaba. Price almost killed me. In totally in love with it though. I use the outside screen about 60% of the time cause its totally usable. Have the galaxy fold 2 too. Its on ebay. The only thing the fold 2 wins on are the speakers, and Google, but I can live without Google easily
Wow nice dear I ask how much did it cost you? I would love to sell my Fold 2 for it. I can love without Google nowadays finding work arounds for everything. The hardware and everything is superior yes except the speakers as shown I this review.
@@Techtablets Yeah the speakers on the fold 2 are second to none! I got the x2 for... This pains me... £2700. Never, ever, again! It's absolute madness which I'll never do again. I need mental help! Did you enable performance mode for that antutu test cause I get about 730000 on v9 antutu. Regarding Google you can get it running flawlessly with one of the many work. arounds but I don't trust the files needed. What I really hate about the fold is the camera, it's pathetic, the x2 camera is the best out there for me. BTW latest update is 155 firmware with camera improvements.

I was in the same boat and that was why I never got the Fold 1. But the Fold 2 is solid, I've dropped it a few times and would rate it as the same as a normal flagship glass covered phone.
@@Techtablets Any recommendations for standard Android phones that are 7" plus like the old Mi Max or the Mate20X? Or is there any rumoured to be coming out in the next 12 months?
@@Techtablets- I hear you. I've been trying to wait it out for the price to drop some myself. The cheapest I can find one is for like $3,200. I'm going to pull the trigger on it soon.
This is a step in the right direction for me. If I get a foldable I want the outer screen to be as useable as the inner one, as I'm not always going to want to do everything in tablet mode.
Absolutely amazing review. So professional👍🏽💯% my brother you didn't say the price would love to buy one. $....? Keep on going. Love to see you review the harmony OS when it comes out on this device👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🎶
if they can pull this off in this version, i'm excited for the next one..as a tech enthusiast, your review will always be my first choice. keep this great content coming!
I found the Samsung Fold 2 to be incredibly thick and is too much for my pockets. It is well built and i really did like it, even with the taller display which reminded me of that awesome Sony Xperia 1 ii cinematic screen aspect ratio. That being said, the Huawei Mate X2 is gargantuan. I understand the marketing that its supposed to be a regular phone size for on-the-go use and a tablet in your pocket. However, both are so darn big. Id say the Fold 2 has it a bit better for size but its not what id imagine a foldable being - a smaller device for the pocket. Given that, im more interested in the Z flip and it's future iterations.
Hey Chris!Please review the new Xiaomi laptops: Redmibook pro and MI laptop!The have very good specs(finally dual channel rams, thunderbolt etc) and i d like to hear your opinion!Keep on the excellent job you re doing
Love the review, thanks Chris. I'd get this instantly if it was closer to Zfold 2 pricing and was available in the uk. Lack of Google services is also an issue
Great review friend. Awesome to see you review phones like this. The mate X2 wouldve been great for me if it had google services. The fold also looks cool tho. The only problem I have is that I dont want to spend that much on a phone haha. Keep up the great work man🤝 Edit: I might buy Huawei again if they open up the bootloader
Good review. I have the Z Fold 2 and love it. I don't have a problem with typing on the outer screen. There is no gap between the screens with the case I am using without it adding additional bulk. With GoodLock its a highly customizable and individual phone. I don't find a problem with the crease either visually or when touching the screen. The crease area on the Huawei is wider than the Samsung The X2 is a great phone and your review was good but you can't be using the Fold 2 to its full potential. I say this because you can increase the size of the keyboard. Both handsets have their pros and cons, but the future of foldables is looking more impressive every month now
Nice, informative review as always. I would get this(even without Google Services, as I would just sideload them) as I like the larger outer screen and that it got FANTASTIC cameras unlike the Fold 2. The main barrier and why I won't be getting this is the price, it is EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE online($3500+ on eBay) but I am still REALLY IMPRESSED with this and my maybe a few generations ahead I can get this??? 🤔🤔 For now my plan is to get the Fold 2 when the Fold 3 drops and I'll pick it up when it drops to $600-$700. 📱📱🤳🤳❤️❤️❤️❤️
I owned the zfold2 last year..it a good phone,but it kinda weird on 6.2 aspect ratio..looking at the X2 ,damn that the fold phone im been waiting for..sadly no google😩
@@Techtablets I doubt that they will so soon, maybe in 3 years but not anytime soon. Still excited that new form factors are being explored after nearly all phones looking the same.
Looking at the low sales of the iPhone 12 mini, I don't think it'll happen. I'd honestly love to get 150g phones again, but it seems 200g is gonna keep on being the standard 😥.
@@Techtablets Fair enough. Keep up the good work bud. Just one more reply if you can, I've watched soo many of your recent reviews that the sound test track is in my head and I need to what it is please! :) Love from UK
Not that I can afford either, but does the mate x2 come with any REPLACABLE inside screen protector? if no that'd be a huge deal breaker. z folds have a samsung/replacable screen protector. heck some say you can even replace it at home
Don't even bother. It is way too complicated. Soon, next month, Huawei will push upgrade Harmony OS 2.0 for all major devices. It's time to officially say goodbye to Google, but not a goodbye to Android, since Harmony OS will be backward compatible with Android apps.
Honestly the fold phones are great! That said everyone is dropping the ball the number 1 seller is the price I honestly would have made these 1,000 with the first gen models then moved price up🤷 I can picture a new phone company starting with a $700 fold phone and taking most of the fold market lol mark my words
No one's done a thorough review on Royale Flexpai 2. It folds out to 8 inchs. Folds in thinner than Z fold. Just wider but still can hold with one hand. And screen is outside but it's durable plastic screen makes it crack proof.
The screen ratio was made to watch the Snyder Cut. Annoys me when I see people complaining about "black bards". it's a nonissue and you already have a bigger than normal screen to watch.
Widevine l1 ? Very nice to see for a huawei device since the ban ! (i had a matepad pro and it did not have L1 which was a shame given the insane display)

Good review. I have the Z Fold 2 and love it. I don't have a problem with typing on the outer screen. There is no gap between the screens with the case I am using without it adding additional bulk. With GoodLock its a highly customizable and individual phone. I don't find a problem with the crease either visually or when touching the screen. The crease area on the Huawei is wider than the Samsung The X2 is a great phone and your review was good but you can't be using the Fold 2 to its full potential. I say this because you can increase the size of the keyboard. Both handsets have their pros and cons, but the future of foldables is looking more impressive every month now
Nice, informative review as always. I would get this(even without Google Services, as I would just sideload them) as I like the larger outer screen and that it got FANTASTIC cameras unlike the Fold 2. The main barrier and why I won't be getting this is the price, it is EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE online($3500+ on eBay) but I am still REALLY IMPRESSED with this and my maybe a few generations ahead I can get this??? 🤔🤔 For now my plan is to get the Fold 2 when the Fold 3 drops and I'll pick it up when it drops to $600-$700. 📱📱🤳🤳❤️❤️❤️❤️
REALLY IMPRESSIVE
I owned the zfold2 last year..it a good phone,but it kinda weird on 6.2 aspect ratio..looking at the X2 ,damn that the fold phone im been waiting for..sadly no google😩
you dont really need google, if you use your head.

Amazing video bro
👍🏻
Great review as usual Chris!
Are you planning to review Samsung Galaxy M62/A72 4G?
Best review as always!
Great detailed video
Any chance to see Black Shark 4 review .
Hope you can review Xiaomi Mi Laptop Pro 15 when it's available. Thanks
Maybe I did buy the Redmibook 14 i5 with MX450
hopefully these will be mainstream in 5 years
Oh they will be very mainstream. Apple will invent the foldable phone this year or next so not just Android!
@@Techtablets I doubt that they will so soon, maybe in 3 years but not anytime soon. Still excited that new form factors are being explored after nearly all phones looking the same.
Interesting. Thanks.
Thx for the review! excellent stuff!I was about to buy the x2,but....no!The camera killed my excitement! rather wait for the next model!thx again
Am I in a very small minority for wishing that smaller phones would make a comeback?
Looking at the low sales of the iPhone 12 mini, I don't think it'll happen.
I'd honestly love to get 150g phones again, but it seems 200g is gonna keep on being the standard 😥.
Light weight big screen is what we want
One of the best channels
Planning on the Mi Fold review?
Nope. Decided against it not enough interest to justify spending that much.
@@Techtablets Fair enough. Keep up the good work bud. Just one more reply if you can, I've watched soo many of your recent reviews that the sound test track is in my head and I need to what it is please! :) Love from UK
Not that I can afford either, but does the mate x2 come with any REPLACABLE inside screen protector? if no that'd be a huge deal breaker. z folds have a samsung/replacable screen protector. heck some say you can even replace it at home
Yes it has one on it or mine did at least.
@@Techtablets ooh what happened to it?
The square look seems to fit any entertainment use, not only web browsing. i'd compromise any disadvantages if the price is competitive.
Is there a way to install Google service and Gapps on this phone?
Don't even bother. It is way too complicated. Soon, next month, Huawei will push upgrade Harmony OS 2.0 for all major devices. It's time to officially say goodbye to Google, but not a goodbye to Android, since Harmony OS will be backward compatible with Android apps.
@@ericliume harmony os as been proven to be a reskinned android
Can I buy this from you? @TechTablets
are huawei planning on doing a global release of the mate x2?
Music name on 19:35 please anyone?
It's so good, I want to hear the full version one..
Honestly the fold phones are great! That said everyone is dropping the ball the number 1 seller is the price I honestly would have made these 1,000 with the first gen models then moved price up🤷 I can picture a new phone company starting with a $700 fold phone and taking most of the fold market lol mark my words
I honestly love your channel and wish you the best, because it's one of the most professional out there.
Thank you so much 😀
Wow 😍 the Huawei is gorgeous!! Any idea how someone living outside China can get one? And pricing information in Malaysia or Australia?
In China it cost 20298RMB~$3100
Nice sample but dies no good for the masses who use Google Services.
No one's done a thorough review on Royale Flexpai 2. It folds out to 8 inchs. Folds in thinner than Z fold. Just wider but still can hold with one hand. And screen is outside but it's durable plastic screen makes it crack proof.
Love the review and the phone, thanks teeck teeblets
The screen ratio was made to watch the Snyder Cut.
Annoys me when I see people complaining about "black bards". it's a nonissue and you already have a bigger than normal screen to watch.
😂 for the Snyder cut. I was only pointing it out. I watch movies and tv series etc on my larger TV so never bothers me
Widevine l1 ? Very nice to see for a huawei device since the ban ! (i had a matepad pro and it did not have L1 which was a shame given the insane display)
You might need to review Mi Mix Fold also before buying the Mate X2 :-)
Please huawei desk mode are available? Thanks
Hi yes it is
Thought i am a xiaomi fan but i am not exited for the mi mix fold , it seems from the videos that it is alot inferior to the Hwawei one .
this phone looks amazing..foldable phones have always been a dream for me but they are so expensive...need to wait
Look into the Xiaomi fold or used zfold 2, this Huawei one is way overpriced
