Huawei definitely doesn't produce smartphones like it used to. The company faced serious problems amid the worst phase of the US ban. With all that said, there is still hope for a comeback, at least in the foldable smartphone segment.
A few days ago, various sources suggested that the company is already working on a new foldable smartphone. According to the latest information, this device may have a flip design like the Motorola RAZR series and the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip.
The new information cites a source from Zhaoli Technology, which makes hardware for smartphones. Information suggests that Huawei's upcoming foldable smartphone will feature a next-generation hinged design. It uses fewer parts and is much simpler. This will reduce the price, but increase reliability.
Huawei's foldable smartphone will use a new design, most likely the clamshell we've been hearing about. It will be small, in a variety of bright colors. The Weibo post also includes several renders of the device, but it is very difficult to confirm the reliability of these leaked renders.
According to recent reports, Huawei's upcoming foldable smartphone will go into mass production from early next year. This means that the launch of the phone is closer than we think. We expect a December launch, but it could also be scheduled for January. It is interesting to see how Huawei is investing in this segment, despite all the problems it faces when releasing mobile phones.
Next year, there will be tough competition in the complex segment
Competition will intensify next year, especially in China. Companies like Oppo and Vivo are already working on foldable smartphones. The first should be at the final stage of development of its first complex smartphone. These companies will fight for customer preferences and for the market that Samsung currently owns.
If we talk about Samsung, other brands that have joined this segment will have a hard time in the fight against the Koreans. Samsung is about to enter the market with the fourth generation of its series of sophisticated devices, and with each generation it has been making more and more progress.
