Samsung and Huawei are competing to release the industry's first folding screen smartphone, and relatively small Chinese smartphone makers are also trying to get involved in this market to gain first-mover advantage.
Unlike Samsung and Huawei – considering the internal folding type of mobile phone with a larger display size, it is said that Xiaomi is developing a folding type mobile phone. The folding type mainly depends on the display size. Currently there is very little news about the OPPO folding screen mobile phone project. .
The key component of the folding screen mobile phone is the display panel. Samsung and Huawei's partners in the folding screen mobile phone display field are Samsung Display and BOE. Xiaomi and OPPO may also purchase folding screen mobile phone display screens from Chinese manufacturers. LG Display hopes to be able to Take a share.
According to industry observers, Chinese mobile phone manufacturers are trying to break the folding screen mobile phone, in order to get rid of the long-term image of low-cost mobile phone manufacturers.
Samsung may already have the conditions to release a folding screen phone soon, but it is said that it is still evaluating market demand, and Chinese mobile phone manufacturers seem to focus on winning the title of 'world first'.

For the folding screen mobile phone, the price is still a key. According to sources, the price of the Samsung folding screen mobile phone is estimated to be about 2 million won (about 1800 US dollars), which is about 2 times the price of the Chinese mobile phone 1 million won (estimated). .
