According to a new market research, Huawei has taken the first place in the foldable competition, reaching more than 50 percent market share in the first half of this year.

Today, these restrictions have begun to ease and Huawei continues its investments, especially its own 5G chip.
The second brand on the list after Huawei was Oppo. In addition, Samsung, one of the leading names in the market, comes in third place, followed by Vivo. Honor, Xiaomi and Motorola took the fifth, sixth and seventh places of the list, respectively. In addition, the new report revealed that the foldable phone market in China has grown by 72 percent year on year. Thus, we can say that mainstream phones are now shifting towards foldable devices.
