Samsung seems to be reassured about its position in the foldable phone market and its laziness in developing designs and improving performance over the past two years, with Galaxy Fold 3 & 4, and 5, opened the way for many companies, such as Huawei, Oppo, Google and OnePlus, and allowed them to develop phones that are superior to Samsung devices. They offers better features, with foldable screens that are more vivid and flexible, as well as specifications that include batteries that last for longer periods, thinner body, and better dimensions, whether with regard to using the phone closed or when opening it and using it as a large tablet.
The latest Samsung device in this category, Galaxy Fold 5, is largely similar to its predecessors, except for what is related to the processor (Snapdragon 8 Gen 2) and the hinge that connects the two components of the phone, and reduces the crease in the middle of the large screen when opening the smartphone... The biggest problem is that the price will remain high.
The only feature that separated the South Korean company's product from the rest of the is the presence of the electronic pen (S Pen), which allows the user to write and draw, taking advantage of the dimensions of the large screen.
Meanwhile, what can be described as the strongest competitor to Samsung has emerged from the Chinese company Honor, which until recently was part of Huawei. A foldable phone that is currently on the market (9.9mm thin when closed, and 4.75mm when opened), in addition to that, it will be equipped with a larger battery than that of Samsung Fold phones; the Honor battery reaches 5000mAh, and it will work on the same processor (Snapdragon 8 Gen 2), in addition to an external screen similar to a normal mobile phone screen measuring 6.43 inches, unlike the long screen of the Samsung Fold.
The fatal blow came with the provision of the new Honor device with an electronic pen, as it can be used with both screens, external and internal, for writing and drawing.
The phone was launched in the Chinese market recently, and now after its IFA moment, everyone is waiting for it to be launched in the world, especially if the price will be better than that of the Galaxy device.
Has Samsung already lost the race?
