It wasn't that long ago that fans of the best folding phones rejoiced that the market finally got competitive. It wasn't just Samsung resting on its laurels, making minor changes to the Galaxy Z Fold and Flip lines each year. There were new companies literally entering the fold, like Google and OnePlus. And that's all just North America. Huawei, Vivo, Xiaomi, and TECNO are all doing great things in Europe and Asia.
Recently, a report from Ma Guangyu at 163.com in China claimed that a major company won't be releasing a large foldable in 2025. While the exact company wasn't named, narrowing down the possibilities isn't difficult. Samsung and Google are obviously going to continue making foldables, and Huawei and Xiaomi are likely to as well. The attention then turns to Vivo, OPPO, and OnePlus by extension.
