According to a tweet from tech insider Revegnus, Samsung is planning to make its next foldable phone thinner than its current model. This comes after Huawei introduced its Mate X5, which outdoes Samsung’s offering in terms of thinness and battery capacity.
Samsung’s Plans for a Thinner Foldable
Revegnus’s tweet highlights the internal push at Samsung to find ways to counter Huawei’s thinner device. Samsung is reportedly working on reverse engineering Huawei’s Mate X5 to understand its advantages and perhaps integrate similar features in their upcoming foldable phone.
A Response to Huawei’s Mate X5
Huawei’s Mate X5 has seemingly prompted Samsung to reconsider their design strategy. The Mate X5, which is thinner than Samsung’s current foldable phone, also boasts a larger battery capacity. This appears to have created a sense of urgency within Samsung to match or exceed these specifications.
The rivalry between Samsung and Huawei in the foldable phone market seems to be heating up. For consumers, this could mean sleeker, more efficient foldable phones in the near future.
