In particular, the clamshell folding screen smartphone continues to dominate – only Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 took 51%.

Samsung is still leading the market for foldable smartphones.

That said, Huawei’s market share is really growing, and the company accounted for 20% of foldable phone production in the first quarter of this year, most of which were the Huawei P50 Pocket. Again, the clamshell folding screen design is very popular.

The number of folding screens shipped has also increased year by year.

DSCC further reports, Samsung has set higher expectations for this year’s Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Galaxy Z Fold 4. Analysts believe this is a signal for a more affordable price (possibly lower than the Galaxy Z Fold 3 when it first hit the shelves – from VND 24.99 million).

Market share of foldable smartphones over time.

The overall folding smartphone market is also expected to double sales to 16 million units by the end of this year.
