BARCELONA, Spain - China’s Huawei unveiled a new folding-screen phone on Sunday, joining the latest trend for bendable devices as it challenges the global smartphone market’s dominant players, Apple and Samsung. Huawei revealed its Mate X phone on the eve of MWC Barcelona, a four-day showcase of mobile devices, as the company battles U.S. allegations it is a cybersecurity risk. China‚Äôs Huawei is set to take the wraps off a new folding-screen phone, in a fresh bid for global dominance of the stagnating smartphone market. Yu said Huawei engineers spent three years working on the device’s hinge, which doesn’t leave a gap when shut. But Huawei wouldn’t be where it is today if it had been content focusing merely on China and other Asian markets.
