Huawei is preparing a massive attack against the Samsung company with an exclusive phone, the Chinese taking the first steps to become an even more serious competitor for the largest phone manufacturer, globally. Huawei will launch a foldable phone before those from Samsung, according to information that appeared today from sources close to the company, the Chinese wanting to bring it to the market before the Koreans just to prove that they can.
Huawei wants to launch its foldable phone at the beginning of 2019 before ca Samsung GALAXY F to be launched by those from Samsung, and for that it will be based on flexible screens produced by the Chinese company BOE. In the video clip below you can see the flexible screens that the BOE managed to create, and the Huawei company wants to take advantage of this technology to surpass Samsung in terms of launching its foldable phone.
Huawei: The EXCLUSIVE Phone Launched to ATTACK Samsung
Huawei will launch this phone as an exclusive, and if you're wondering why I'm saying that, well, because we're talking about a production of only 20.000-30.000 units for the biggest fans of the Korean company. Huawei will make a very limited production just to show "what it can do", but also probably because its partners cannot support a production in larger quantities for the time being, and in the end that matters more than showing that you have the technology, but no you can sell
"China's Huawei Technologies, the world's third largest smartphone maker, is planning to roll out the first foldable handset with a flexible screen ahead of its bigger rival Samsung Electronics. Huawei's planned volume could be limited to some 20,000 to 30,000 units, or even less, for a small group of first-wave adopters," one person familiar with Huawei's plan said. "The effort is mainly to demonstrate its technological capability and to attract the industry's attention and media coverage."
Huawei wants to produce 20.000-30.000 units of its flexible phone, while Samsung wants to produce up to 3 million units, the difference being huge, and in this context, the desire of the Chinese to be the first on the market will not matter at all. This is what happened a few years ago, when Huawei presented a similar 3D Touch technology before Apple, but did not actually offer it until a few months later, and the same will be the case here, although the phone will still be offered on the market of some enthusiastic.
