Huawei and Samsung may battle with low-price foldable phones in H2 2024

News regarding Huawei cites that the company plans to introduce low-price foldable phones in the second half of 2024, competing with its well-known rival – Samsung. Both firms are likely to bring affordable folding gadgets later this year.

The information implies that a step towards low-price foldable phones will give rise to new competition between Huawei and Samsung in the market. Another significance of this step could be more popularity of folding devices among consumers.

Since many of the clamshell or vertical small folding phones are already present in the form of cost-effective products, this strategy could show up for book-type foldables.

Further inputs reveal that Huawei will continue to possess an inward-fold design for its upcoming foldable phones. The Chinese tech giant is also hearsay to pick large screen sizes and more powerful processors than the previous-generation models.

Huawei is already working on various Kirin chips alongside dedicated PC processors. Thus it won’t be surprising to see a new and robust Kirin chip for the next coming folding smartphones. Although Huawei has yet to shed official light on this subject.

Samsung, on the other hand, may adopt the UTG (ultrathin glass) tech to enhance the durability aspects, making the folding phone market competition more fierce.
