The US government uses power and restrictive laws to force Chinese companies out in almost every tech sector. The land of the "free market" is actually one of the only countries on earth that has such tight government regulations and restrictions on who can enter said market. The US likes to pretend it promotes healthy capitalist competition but in reality it doesn't. It's more communist than China 😂.

Huawei had a supply contract with t-mobile in 2010. What did they do? They tried to steal a robotic arm t-mobile used so they could cheat their tests. That was only one of a few stupid things they did that led to their current situation.
Nobody is stopping Xiaomi from selling phones in the US except Xiaomi. They are staying in their lane because they don't have confidence they can compete on US soil.

They will outsell Samsungs own folding line quite handily I’d bet. Kind of makes this ad a bit ironic doesn’t it (besides the obvious desperation it reeks of), see when Apple do decide the time is right to get into the foldable game they are likely to become Samsungs biggest customer for production of the displays themselves. And seeing that the order Apple place with Samsung to supply the screen of what would probably very quickly become the worlds best selling foldable device, would need to be a large order indeed. I’m betting Samsung are secretly very much hopping it’s Apple themselves that ‘jump that fence’ rather than the customers, and the sooner the better.

this a really big innovation where most flagships are getting boring every year.we have to give it tosamsung.all brands alreay started following their folding device iteration.samsung foldables will bump even more if samsung can guarantee the screens will have no issues for 4-5 years.they only repair devices within warranty for free.long life (2+ years) durability is still a concern for such an expensive device.

And clearly very big majority of people think exactly same because even in fourth year, foldable sales are still very small. That’s the reason Samsung does ad like this, they know they are screwed with their foldable lineup, the demand is nowhere near where they wanted it to be and they have difficulties to find new beta testers.
” We believe Apple will drive some growth in the December quarter ... but the Android market is extremely weak and many new premium-tier foldable models that were launched a few months ago did not sell well at all," said Kinngai Chan, analyst at Summit Insights Group.”

Even if I were to jump back to Android tomorrow, a foldable is at the very bottom of my prospective device list, scratch that, they ain’t even on the list. And it’ll stay that way till someone shows me a foldable that improves in every measurable way over the existing slab design.
And Samsung, as smug as they are acting with this ad, are nowhere near being able to do that. So I’m quite happy to let others fork out thousands of their own hard earned cash to beta test this stuff, in the hopes that Apple hold off doing it, until it can be done right.
If people want to see that as Apple waiting to copy something, I don’t care in the least. When it comes to spending my own money on technology, I’ll take a perfected copy over a compromised original any day.

We wait until the horrible crease is gone and the toy-ish screen and mediocre hardware, before that zero chance to even thinking to buy one.
Also seeing how slow the progress been with Samsung, i’m not sure if it’s even possible to do. That’s why Apple might never release foldable Phone.

These ads make no sense.
But it makes sense for Samsung to try to allure the users that tend to spend more money in the industry: apple's.

Samsung Australia only offered one time discounted inner LCD replacement for their latest Flip/Fold $199 AUD before 30/Sep/22. So basically if you damage your ones after that date, you gotta pay the full amount which were $525 AUD for the Flip and $820 AUD for the Fold, unless you got your extra Samsung Care

foldables will never replace common smartphone form factor because durability of a screen and moving parts are low, that's just physics. Why would someone switch to Samsung when they have worse battery life due to worse SoC energy efficiency.
