MARCO LANCASTER SEPTEMBER 25, 2020 The market for smart wearables is becoming really competitive this year.

Gadgetholics

MARCO LANCASTER SEPTEMBER 25, 2020 We can take 2019 as the year that kicked a new trend of foldable smartphones. Until now, devices in this segment are still niche handsets due to their elevated price tags, but this will change in the future. Samsung and Huawei were the first players in this segment, with Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X, respectively. Both devices were announced at Mobile World Congress 2019 but only reached the market several months later. Samsung already unveiled a ton of foldable smartphones after the original Fold and pretty much has the segment under its belt? The reason? The only company that could compete with them in 2019, had a ban to deal with. The US government has pretty much buried Huawei’s intentions of releasin...
