There is no doubt that Samsung and Huawei are big brands and it is understandable that either of them would want to pioneer this new technology. However, doubts have been cast as to whether foldable phones will stand the test of time.

Huawei is doing the smart thing and being cautious with the release of their folding phone. If their release is a success, they could take the lead in the folding phone market.

Despite its ongoing legal tensions in the United States, Huawei is continuing to gain users. The brand has already topped one of its smartphone rivals, Apple, and is steadily gaining on another, Samsung. Maybe this will push the other brands to innovate.
