"A foldable phone is the ‘next big thing’ that will bridge the gap between the tablets and smartphones. It can also stem the steady decline of the smartphone market. Taking cues from the screen failure of Samsung Galaxy Fold, Huawei has delayed the launch of its foldable device. Foldable phones are using plastic screens instead of glass used in smartphones. Plastic is more prone to scratches and failures considering the Mohs’ scale. The other issue is Huawei’s version of the folding display smartphone, folds on the outside. This makes Huawei foldable device more susceptible to damage. Both the companies will now put more time in testing the devices before they land into the hands of consumers. Moreover, Huawei’s foldable phone is a 5G device, and due to the US trade ban, it will face trouble procuring the 5G components. Inability to use Android OS will also be an issue. " – Parv Sharma
