Huawei doesn’t plan on stopping after Huawei Mate X2 foldable got launched earlier this year.
According to Digitimes, Huawei is still planning on announcing three new foldable smartphones in H2 2021.
Huawei is also planning on adopting more friendly price for its foldables. So the three foldable devices are expected to be more affordable than the Mate X2.
Digitimes also reported that the foldable smartphones global shipments are likely to reach seven million units in 2021.
Even as Huawei plans to launch three foldable, many other companies plans on offering their own devices with same variety. Xiaomi is expected to launch two more, in addition to the one the company already announced. Samsung will also launch two.
Vivo and OPPO are to launch their first foldable smartphones this year. While, Motorola will come back with a new Razr phone. Altogether, we’ll see quite a few new foldable smartphones by the end of the year.
However, Samsung will still be leading the market. No company can compete with them at the moment, in the foldable smartphone area. It really isn’t surprising considering the fact that they have more experience with the device, and their foldables launched last year are absolutely impressive.
They didn’t have much competitors but it looks like the competition will heat up really soon, in the foldable space. Competitors will likely fight for market share by the end of the year and next year.
Foldable smartphones are here and they are here to stay. They keep improving with each generation that’s passing. What’s left to be seen is what newcomers will offer.
