Samsung could drop to second place in foldable phone market for Q1 2024: Report
Samsung is been leading the foldable phone market for decades and the tech giant has also worn the crown in Q4 2023 despite lower-than-expected sales of fifth-generation foldables. But now it seems like Samsung could drop to second place in the foldable phone market in Q1 and Q2 of 2024
According to the report of DSCC, Huawei is expected to overtake Samsung in the foldable phone market share for the first time in Q1 and Q2 2024 on the strength of the newly released Mate X5, Pocket 2, and the lack of new Galaxy products from the Korean tech giant.
In addition, Huawei is expected to drive the Q1 2024 foldable phone market to jump 105% Y/Y. However, Samsung is expected to regain leadership in the second half of 2024 and lead for all of 2024 with a large advantage over Huawei.
