Huawei and Xiaomi Launch New Foldable Phones Ahead of Apple's Foldable iPhone
Huawei and Xiaomi are launching new foldable smartphones in China ahead of Apple's expected debut of its first foldable iPhone. Huawei's Mate XT2 features a tri-fold design, the Kirin 9050 Pro chip, improved durability, and privacy features. Xiaomi's 18 Fold emphasizes domestic components and a passport-like design similar to Apple's anticipated model. Apple’s entry into the foldable market is expected to boost consumer interest and expand the segment, which remains a strong area amid China's overall smartphone market decline.
