Samsung faces increasing competition in the foldable smartphone market as Huawei narrows the gap, capturing a 23.1% share in 2024 compared to Samsung's 32.9%.

To maintain its lead, Samsung is under pressure to innovate and potentially introduce a budget-friendly model while addressing challenges in technology and pricing.

Huawei has launched its first foldable screen laptop, the MateBook Fold Ultimate Design, featuring an 18-inch dual-layer OLED display and a reliable 285mm hinge. With its HarmonyOS 5, the device challenges both Samsung and Microsoft, as it offers innovative features like dynamic refresh rates and enhanced impact resistance. Meanwhile, Samsung is reportedly developing a tri-fold phone to compete with Huawei's advancements in the foldable market.
Huawei achieved a significant milestone by launching its own mobile operating system and a laptop that competes with Windows, marking a departure from the U.S.-dominated market. Despite past failures by Samsung and Alibaba, Huawei's aggressive investment and skilled workforce position it to capture a double-digit market share. In contrast, Samsung's equal R&D spending raises questions about its growth strategy and efficiency.
