Compare Mobile Phones Side-by-Side

The Huawei Mate Xs is the more unusual device here, and its appeal is obvious: that 8-inch folding display gives you far more room for reading, multitasking, maps, and media than a normal phone. If what you want is a pocketable tablet-style screen, the Galaxy S24 FE simply does not offer that kind of experience.

For most buyers, though, the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE is the safer and more sensible pick. Its 6.7-inch screen is smaller, but the 120Hz refresh rate will feel noticeably smoother day to day than the Mate Xs’ 60Hz panel, especially when scrolling and navigating the interface. It also has a slightly larger 4700mAh battery, while matching the Huawei on RAM.

So this comparison is less about raw spec dominance and more about form factor. Choose the Mate Xs if the foldable display is the whole reason you’re buying. For regular daily use, the Galaxy S24 FE looks like the more practical phone.
