Rumors are circulating about Oppo and Vivo, along with their affiliate OnePlus, considering an exit from the foldable smartphone market. The speculated reason behind this potential withdrawal is the reported decline in market share for foldable devices by these brands throughout the previous year. If true, this shift would leave the foldable smartphone arena dominated by industry giants Samsung and Huawei.
Details about the timing and specifics of this potential exit remain undisclosed, marking a significant development in the dynamic smartphone landscape. Meanwhile, Huawei, a major player in the Chinese market, is planning to introduce a 10-inch double-folding smartphone.

On another front, Samsung has reportedly achieved a milestone in its development efforts, completing a rollable display to meet the growing expectations of the market. There are also speculations about Samsung venturing into the tri-fold territory, aligning with Huawei’s rumored plans. As these reports are yet to be confirmed, only time will reveal the actual trajectory of these developments in the smartphone industry.
