Luke, 22 Jan 2025interesting. So Xiaomi isn't very popular even there..... moreXiaomi is a company that appeals to the price and performance conscious people. They are seen as cheap and lack the prestige of Huawei. But xiaomi products are good and appeal to the masses. People that insult xiaomi are seen as snobbish and out of touch.

PepperPot, 22 Jan 2025"IDC pointed out that despite phones becoming thinner ... moreInterest is not fading. Demand is fading. It's not the same.
Sales are probably decreasing, not because of a lack of interest, but because a big portion of consumers who were interested in foldables already purchased one, thus shrinking the pool of consumers who are likely to purchase a foldable in the near term, in the current conditions. But the conditions will likely evolve. Technology will get better; foldable phones will get thinner; gradually keep getting cheaper; consumers will gradually understand the benefits and switch.
If anything, foldable phones are getting closer to be as thin as smartphones, as cheap as smartphones, (almost) as durable as smartphones. So why would you not want to have a larger screen??

Anonymous, 22 Jan 2025Apple, Samsung, and Huawei all being sold in planet earth.
... moreAnd where does he pretend the world is only China? Can't you even read correctly what he wrote?
Although I must also say that even If Huawei was officially sold in Korea or USA for example, then It would still lose by a gigantic margin in comparison not just because of the home turf advantage, but because of the missing Google services and no access to latest SoC.
And this is also the reason Huawei is not selling well in other markets, but that's not really their fault.
Without sanctions there were globally number 3 If I remember correctly, not sure If Honor was included but probably yes.

Are... moreApple, Samsung, and Huawei all being sold in planet earth.
But you're going to pretend the world is only China.
In the end you can only make stupid argument to justify the poor worldwide sales of Huawei.

PepperPot, 22 Jan 2025"IDC pointed out that despite phones becoming thinner ... moreAfter Jobs gone
Apple don't have any star anymore
All Apple product now is just a minor adjustment of Jobs idea
I believe the era of iPhone already over
And now we're entering the China era... Huawei vs. Xiaomi vs. Vivo

"IDC pointed out that despite phones becoming thinner and lighter and companies coming up with bigger batteries and less visible creases, customers are not as keen on purchasing a foldable."
I think that is obvious. Samsung sold the most foldables in 2024 and they are behind in hardware. Foldables need a lifeline. They need Apple to get involved.

BTW,
The reason Q4 shipment of foldable devices were down
Is because ALL the phone released during Q4 were a non-foldable flagship

These are the graphs for China foldable market, which is something Huawei depends on to survive. Go check the other IDC news where they talk about quarter sales in China.

interesting. So Xiaomi isn't very popular even there.. but some very vocal fanbase here try to sell it as an absolute top in smartphone market :)
Huawei uses their own Android-based OS, right? What about Honor? Are they sub-company of Huawei? Do they also use the same Huawei proprietary OS, without google play services?
