"2024: The Year Smartphone Giants Bet Big on Foldable Tech Going Mainstream"
Major smartphone manufacturers, with the notable exception of Apple, are investing in foldable phones to rejuvenate a declining mobile market, despite the fact that foldables currently hold just over 1% of the global smartphone market share. Samsung, leading the charge with its Galaxy Z series, is optimistic about the future, citing projections that foldables could account for a significant portion of the premium smartphone market by 2027. Other brands like Motorola, Huawei, Honor, and even Google are also focusing on foldable devices, while Apple remains uninvolved but has shown potential interest through patent filings.
