In an interview, Huawei’s consumer business CEO, Yu Chengdong, believes that after one to two years, the foldable smartphone price will plunge to about €1000 ($1124) and after other brands enter the market, it will go as low as €500 ($562). Yu Chengdong said that if the commercialization of the folding screen mobile phone is successful, then Huawei can increase the mass production scale at any time.

He claims that Apple’s inability to release a foldable smartphone his year or even next year attest to the fact that Huawei is ahead in terms of innovation.
