Huawei and Xiaomi Launch New Foldable Phones Ahead of Apple's Entry
Huawei and Xiaomi have unveiled new foldable smartphones in China ahead of Apple's anticipated entry into the foldable market. Huawei's Mate XT2 features a tri-fold design, the Kirin 9050 Pro chip, improved durability, and privacy features, priced around $2,980. Xiaomi's 18 Fold emphasizes domestic components and a passport-like design. Apple's foldable iPhone, expected soon, is predicted to boost consumer interest in foldables, a niche but growing segment led by Huawei and Samsung in China. Competition is intensifying in the premium smartphone market.
