From Apple, Samsung, Huawei and Xiaomi to Oppo, every tech giant is bringing the foldable smartphone back

There’s been a deluge of foldable phones in 2020. If reports are to be believed, Apple, too, is working on its first foldable handset, scheduled to be launched in September 2022. Apple may also be in active discussions with a number of material suppliers from Taiwan — Hon Hai and Nippon Nippon — for its foldable smartphone and may utilise OLED or MicroLED screen technology. The display panel will be sourced from Samsung.

Apart from Apple, there is Samsung—by far the only brand successful in foldable design and compatibility—and other brands like Motorola, Huawei, Xiaomi and Oppo, which have actively pursued the quest of launching foldable smartphones with futuristic designs.
