Huawei is reportedly delaying the release of its $2,600 Mate X. The Chinese tech giant is pushing the foldable phone's launch date from this summer to September, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday.

Huawei is delaying sales of the Mate X, in part, to improve the quality of the phone's foldable screen, Vincent Peng, a senior vice president at the company, told the Journal during a tech conference in Hong Kong. 

"We're doing a lot of tests," Peng told the Journal, adding that Huawei aims to release the phone as soon as it can.

Huawei didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

This comes after Samsung paused its release of the Galaxy Fold this spring. The $1,980 foldable phone was scheduled to go on sale in the US on April 26, but Samsung hit the brakes right before the phone's launch due to numerous screen problems on review units. Samsung said a new release date for the phone will be announced in "the coming weeks."

The Mate X delay is just the latest challenge for Huawei, the world's No. 1 telecom supplier and No. 2 phone manufacturer. In May, the US blacklisted networking gear from Huawei and President Donald Trump signed an executive order essentially banning the Chinese company due to national security concerns. As a result, some tech companies have cut ties with Huawei

Peng said the Mate X delay wasn't due to the supply-chain issues, according to the Journal.

The foldable phone was unlikely to launch in the US. In May, UK carriers Vodafone and EE said they were pulling the Mate X from their device lineups for their 5G network launches.

Random: Zelda: Link's Awakening Features Some Interior Decorating Changes On Switch - Nintendo Life

Posted: 14 Jun 2019 05:30 AM PDT

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening has easily become one of our most anticipated Switch titles over the last few weeks, and this feeling has only grown after our hands-on time with the game at E3. It's shaping up to be a wonderful retelling of the 1993 classic on Game Boy, but more and more subtle changes are being spotted as new footage appears online.

Eagle-eyed fans are doing what they do best - analysing every frame of every trailer for the juiciest details - and some of the results are very interesting indeed. Among them, and shared by Twitter user @Stealth40k, is this subtle difference within Sale's House O' Bananas.

As you can see in the two images below, Sale's bed has been replaced with a hammock, signifying that the development team haven't been afraid to spruce things up here and there. We imagine there'll be plenty of other small changes to discover throughout the game, too, but it's nice to see that the rest of the room appears to be practically identical, right down to the three pots in the corner.

In all honesty, we quite like seeing little changes like this; the key elements are still in place, but this boosts the sense that we're revisiting something that's now 25 years old. Of course some things will have changed in that time and Sale, if you're reading, congratulations on your fresh upgrade.

You'll be able to get your hands on all sorts of Link's Awakening goodies when the game launches this September; over the course of E3, limited edition sets and an adorable Link amiibo were revealed.

Are you excited for this one? What are you hoping to discover in your new journey across Koholint Island? Let us know in the comments.

Along with the aforementioned Musk also confirmed YouTube is coming to Tesla vehicles during the talk. He then went on to show a video game demo for Beach Buggy Racing 2 which allows you to use your Tesla wheel for in-game steering. Watch the full live talk below.

So far no specific launch date has been shared for the new features, but keep it locked here for when one arises.

In more automotive news, Uber Elevate's flying taxis could be here by 2023.
