Huawei wants to hit Samsung in folding cell phones

Huawei intends to be the first to launch a foldable smartphone, aiming to beat Samsung on the market. Folding smartphones have long been the dream of many manufacturers. The first rumors started around 2013, when they talked about Samsung and LG.

According to information from China, Huawei will use a flexible OLED display, which will be manufactured by the BOE Technology Group, based in China. This means that Huawei does not use OLED panels from LG or Samsung – the two largest manufacturers of OLED displays.

However, a source close to Huawei says that the first units could be limited to 20 or 30 thousand to see how it works. The goal, according to the same source, is to beat Samsung and demonstrate a new technology that will surely make headlines in the specialty media and beyond.

About this type of significant equipment. ZTE introduced, for example, Axon M, but in practice had little impact because in reality this is not a folding device, but two interconnected screens.
