In addition to Samsung and Huawei, the remaining folding screen mobile phone brands seem to be classified as "other", Xiaomi's folding screen model MIX FOLD launched in 2021 is only sold in the Chinese market, and the sales volume obviously does not meet Xiaomi's expectations. Still, Xiaomi is expected to launch the Xiaomi MIX FOLD2 in 2022.
The folding screen mobile phones of the Chinese mobile phone brand are being listed and sold one after another, and OPPO's Find N folding screen mobile phones have been sold in just a few days at the end of 2021, and nearly 100,000 units have been sold.

However, the folding screen models of these brands may only be sold in the Chinese market, and if you look at the global mobile phone market, users still do not have many other choices in addition to Samsung.
