At present, the screen share of full-screen mobile phones has already reached more than 90%, and the development space is very limited. Therefore, mobile phone manufacturers are optimistic about the foldable screen mobile phone, thinking that it is the future development trend of the industry.
At present, Android smartphone manufacturers such as Samsung, Huawei, OPPO and Xiaomi have been reported to be building their own foldable mobile phones. For Samsung, due to its strong vertical industry chain, it can be self-produced and sold by other manufacturers. The situation is different.
According to Korean media reports, Samsung Display has already provided foldable screen samples to OPPO and Xiaomi, and will introduce flexible OLED screens to OPPO and Xiaomi after launching its own foldable screen phone in 2019.
According to the report, on the one hand, Samsung is convinced that its foldable mobile phone is more competitive than other manufacturers' products; on the other hand, Samsung also hopes to pull other manufacturers and distribute folding mobile phones to build a foldable mobile phone ecosystem. However, the report pointed out that there is currently only one assembly line in Korea capable of producing foldable screens.
