Forecast: Samsung to stay #1 in foldables, but its lead over Huawei will shrink significantly

The global foldable market is growing at a “measured pace”, writes TrendForce in its latest report. The main obstacles to adoption remain the same – concerns about durability, the crease and, of course, price. The analysts forecast that 19.8 million foldables will be sold this year, which would be 1.6% of the total smartphone market (about the same fraction as last year). Samsung is currently in first place on the global foldable market, though its lead over the competition is expected to evaporate – predictions see it going from 45.2% last year to 35.4% this year. This would put it...

Samsung Galaxy Z series sets pre-order record in Korea, Fold tops Flip for the first time

The new Galaxy Z series from Samsung is a hit. Just as analysts predicted, it set a new record for pre-orders of foldable devices in South Korea. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 (and presumably the Z Flip7 FE) saw 1.04 million pre-orders in the week spanning July 15 to 21. That topped the previous record set by the Z 5 generation of 1.02 million pre-orders.

Galaxy Z Fold7's display can fold 2.5 times more than the Fold6, test reveals

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 is the thinnest in its lineup, yet it's also more durable than its predecessor. The Fold7's folding display was certified to last more than half a million folds - 2.5 times (or 85%) more than what its predecessor achieved in a durability test last year (200,000)! Certification company Bureau Veritas completed the 500,000 folds after which the Galaxy Z Fold7 remained fully functional! The testing was done over 13 days at 25°C (77°F), simulating over 10 years of average daily use - 100 folds per day. That also translates to over 6 years of heavy use - 200 times...

Latest report contradicts previous rumors about vivo V60's launch date and OS

Last week, we heard that the vivo V60 will launch in India on August 19 with OriginOS, making it the first vivo smartphone in the country to run Funtouch OS instead of OriginOS, which is currently China-exclusive. A new report contradicts those leaks, claiming that the vivo V60 will debut in India on August 12 and run Funtouch OS based on Android 16. Additionally, the source claims that the vivo V60 will be powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 SoC and have UFS 2.2 storage onboard without specifying the storage capacity.

Nokia may be looking to license its brand to a new smartphone maker

Nokia and HMD Global started to part ways last year, which included de-listing Nokia-branded phones from hmd.com and replacing most with corresponding HMD-branded models. But the Nokia brand may live on in the phone world if the Finnish company finds another partner. On the Nokia sub-reddit, a Nokia Community Manager posted that the company is open to collaborating with a “large scale mobile manufacturer”. Of course, the words of a social media account manager don’t carry much weight and Reddit isn’t the best place to find a smartphone ODM. Nokia had licensed its brand in several...

Weekly poll results: Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 are great but pricey, Z Flip7 FE is a miss

Last week’s poll pinpointed price as the primary concern when people consider the new Galaxy Z foldables. They may have gotten slimmer, they may have gotten lighter, but they did not become cheaper. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 proved to be quite popular, though the people who are interested are split into two camps – those who can justify its price tag and those who can’t. And the latter is a slightly bigger group. Some are not happy with the hardware – the complaints mainly focused on the battery capacity and to an extent the charging speed – but that was a relatively small...

Some Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 units are reportedly not opening completely flat

It seems Samsung might be in some hot water over a growing potential issue with the hinge on its Z Fold7. We've been keeping an eye out for developments and still can't quite decide whether the issue is a real cause for concern or not. Still, it is worth reporting. The facts we have so far are at least a couple of photos published on Reddit of what seem to be store demo units. Indeed, these appear not to be opening fully. That said, the poster does mention that they could "help it a bit", so it's more a case of the hinge not snapping properly than not opening. This might be due to a...
