Samsung considers Chinese hinge for Galaxy Z Flip 6

Samsung is considering a Chinese firm for the Galaxy Z Flip 6 & Z Fold 6 hinge. Until last year, KH Vatech supplied hinges for Samsung foldables in the highest volume. However, it will be changed as China-based hinge firm, Hwanli, will secure a double-digit market share this year.

Hwanli’s market share will increase to double digits this year among all Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Z Fold 6 hinge suppliers. Apart from Hwanli and KH Vatech, S-Connect, and Hwanri are also part of Samsung’s hinge supply chain TheElec reports.

KH Vatech virtually exclusively supplied hinges to Samsung’s 5th generation foldable phone last year. The proportion of Chinese currency in the Galaxy Z Flip 6 hinge market is expected to increase to double digits this year. – TheElec highlights.

In particular, China’s Hwanli could get orders for hinges to be used in the Galaxy Z Flip 6. The company’s clamshell foldable phone accounts for about 70% of the total sales. Hence, the firm is going to benefit significantly from Samsung’s shift in supply chain partners.

This year, Samsung could launch a Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra alongside the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Fold 6. While the new Ultra model is joining the lineup this year, it will be produced in limited quantities. The next Unpacked event will likely take place in the second week of July 2024.
