HOWELL: The Chinese telecom giant, Huawei, it showing off its new pricy, foldable phone and defending the integrity of its devices. CNN's Samuel Burke is at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain.</s>SAMUEL BURKE, CNN BUSINESS & TECHNOLOGY CORRESPONDENT: Once again, an announcement about a huge shift in the technology that we use in our everyday devices is taking a backseat to the price tag. Huawei announcing that their new foldable phone will cost something along the lines of $2,600. A whopping price tag even bigger than what Samsung announced for their foldable phone. Though important to note that the Huawei price, $2,600 does include taxes. Now, looking at the two devices, it looks like the Huawei phone or tablet -- whatever you want to call it is a little bit larger about 8 inches when it's folded out your tablet mode, compared that to 7.2 inches for Samsung's foldable device. Of course, we like to try them out for ourselves but that's a whole other story. This is the chaos not even to touch the phone just to get some images of it. Of course, Huawei hasn't said when they're going to allow the public to touch it or even given us a launch date. One thing that wasn't addressed on stage at the launch where the United States accusations over Huawei and their security of their 5G equipment. Though I was able to speak to the rotating chairman of Huawei, and he emphasized once again that he believes that these accusations from the U.S. are politically motivated. Though he did make it clear that Huawei could never, will never, and would not ever dare to violate the regulations of China or any other country in which they operate.
