Huawei isn’t resting on its laurels — in September the Huawei Mate X foldable phone is expected to be released, following shortly by the Huawei Mate 30 Pro, the phablet flagship. But since Huawei has suffered a ban from Android and ARM, there’s no guarantee that future launches will go ahead exactly as planned.
