Counterpoint: China’s foldable smartphone market was dominated by local brands
The most popular foldable smartphones in China were devices of local brands. This is reported in the latest report from Counterpoint Research.
Oppo Find N2 Flip became the most popular foldable smartphone in China, according to information for the first half of the year. The top 3 also includes Huawei Mate X3 and Pocket S. Below are Huawei Mate Xs 2 and P50 Pocket, Oppo Find N2, Honor Magic VS, Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 and W23 5G, Vivo X Flip.
The authors noticed that the world market leader in foldable devices, Samsung, actually failed in China. In the list of the most popular devices was only one device of the South Korean company. “Globally, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 is considered the best-selling foldable smartphone. However, the situation changes when we turn our attention to China, ”the authors of the GizChina publication noted.
Also, Xiaomi foldable smartphones did not make it into the top 10. Counterpoint specialists attributed this to the fact that the Chinese corporation introduced the new flagship Mix Fold 3 device only in the second half of the year.
At the end of August, an insider under the nickname Tech_Reve said that Samsung intends to release a cheap folding smartphone. The device, codenamed Galaxy Z FE, may be released in mid-2024.
