Compare Mobile Phones Side-by-Side

The Huawei Mate Xs is the more unusual phone here, and its appeal really lives or dies with that huge 8-inch display. If you want a pocketable device that can open into something much closer to a small tablet, it offers a kind of screen space the Galaxy S27 FE simply cannot match. For reading, multitasking, maps, and media, that extra canvas is the whole reason to consider it.

For most people, though, the Samsung Galaxy S27 FE looks like the safer and more practical buy. Its 120Hz display should feel noticeably smoother in everyday scrolling and gaming, and the 5000mAh battery gives it a clear advantage over the Mate Xs on paper. RAM is equal, so the bigger differences are really the form factor, refresh rate, and battery.

Pick the Mate Xs only if the folding 8-inch screen is the feature you specifically want. Otherwise, the Galaxy S27 FE is the more sensible everyday phone.
