2019 can be a very important year for the mobile phone industry, especially for companies that will bet on folding smartphones as a new market proposition.

A week ago, it was announced that The Samsung folding device would arrive next year, presenting itself as the great novelty of the Korean company within the Galaxy family of products, but would not be alone in this new battle . Nikkei Assian Review published a report revealing the intention of Huawei by to enter this same segment of terminals even advancing the launch of their product to be available in front of the folding Samsung smartphone.

Huawei would use the OLED screens of BOE Technology Group, with an initial order of between 20,000 and 30,000 units to meet the initial demand of the device-type first-mover. According to the report, the main purpose of the Chinese company is "to demonstrate its technological ability to attract the attention of the industry and the media coverage."

At the moment there is no information on the price of the foldable terminal, but the report states that would be available early next year to anticipate Samsung's proposal. Currently, Huawei's main concern is in its screen provider, as it is possible that could not provide all the requested panels . It is likely that the release date of the Huawei folding smartphone will be affected if BOE can not execute the command.

The above is a situation that, on the contrary, Samsung does not know, which is already ready to cover the demand for the device that would have an initial price of $ 1500

One of the advantages that Huawei could have with its supplier is that the latter receives a very important economic support from the government Chinese thus demonstrating the ambition of the Asian country to become a reference territory in the sector of technology, which has been done in recent years. It is likely that over the next few months we will have more information on the folding smartphone from Huawei, the second company that joins a battle that is just beginning .
