[Samsung Mocks Apple's Foldable Screen, Chinese Domestic Brands Lead the Next Generation] BlockBeats News, September 10: Following the release of Apple's first foldable iPhone Duo, Samsung's official U.S. account posted a series of mocking messages, claiming Apple is 'eating leftovers,' sparking widespread market discussion. However, behind this 'Apple vs. Samsung' spat, the real competitive landscape of foldable screen technology may have already shifted. The iPhone Duo has an unfolded thickness of 5.2mm, weighs 254g, and a crease depth of approximately 150 microns. In comparison, the OPPO Find N5 has a crease depth of about 101 microns, while Huawei's Mate X6 uses a 'Xuanwu Waterdrop Hinge' to reduce the crease depth to around 5 microns. The Honor Magic V6 achieves an unfolded thickness of just 4mm. In terms of product design, Apple's first foldable screen adopts a traditional book-style inward folding approach, whereas Huawei has already introduced a tri-fold design, and Honor and Xiaomi are focusing on vertical compact foldables. Chinese domestic manufacturers are also continuously competing in areas such as hinge technology, hover functionality, lightweight design, and durability. On the market front, while Samsung remains the global leader in foldable screens, Chinese manufacturers are rapidly catching up. With technological advancements and declining prices, the competition in foldable screens has gradually shifted from 'Apple vs. Samsung' to a multidimensional race led by Chinese brands. Samsung's mockery of Apple 'eating leftovers' may not be entirely wrong, but the true 'kings of competition' in foldable screens today are those striving for lighter, thinner, less creased, and more diverse designs.
