Everyone can afford it! Huawei’s new foldable screen product preview: price warning

With the continuous evolution of smartphones, folding screen technology has gradually changed from a symbol of high-end luxury to an “ideal thing” in the eyes of ordinary consumers.

Recently, we finally have an exciting news, that is, Huawei may launch a folding screen mobile phone that “people all over the country can afford”. Does this mean that folding screen mobile phones have finally entered a new era of the mass market?

From exclusive to the masses, the road of foldable screens

Looking back at the foldable screen mobile phones in the past few years, whether it is Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold series or Huawei’s Mate X series, the pricing is almost more than 10,000 yuan, and the highest price even exceeds 20,000 yuan.

Among them, Huawei is particularly high-end. Its Mate X and Mate Xs series have pushed the experience of foldable screen mobile phones to a new height in terms of design, technology and configuration.

Huawei’s “mysterious new phone” unveiled?

Not long ago, Yu Chengdong broke the news in a live broadcast that “In March 2025, Huawei will launch a new product that people all over the country can afford.” Once this news was released, it immediately attracted widespread attention and discussion.

Many Huawei fans and consumers have speculated what this mysterious new product will be. Among the previous clues, a digital blogger even linked it to a “cloud phone”, but soon another blogger refuted the rumor through the account “Uncle Kanshan” and said that this new product is not a so-called “cloud phone” but a folding screen phone.

This news has brought more expectations to consumers. The new form factor of foldable screen mobile phone is undoubtedly a huge technological innovation even if it is affordable. And Yu Chengdong mentioned that this new phone will be equipped with native Hongmeng system, which undoubtedly makes many users who are looking forward to Huawei’s ecosystem more excited.

Especially for ordinary consumers, the price of this folding screen mobile phone may be between 3,000 and 4,000 yuan, which undoubtedly brings folding screen mobile phones into a more affordable price range.

The “popularization” trend of foldable screen mobile phones

In fact, the popularization of foldable screen mobile phones is not Huawei’s “exclusive innovation”. In recent years, more and more brands have begun to pay attention to the pricing strategy of foldable screen mobile phones. For example, the Flip 2 launched by Nubia is known as the “national small foldable mobile phone”, and after the government subsidy, the price is even as low as 2,899 yuan.

The phone is also innovative in design, with a more practical 3-inch square OLED external screen, making it both compact and functional. Although its performance is not as good as the flagship model, the Nubia Flip 2 allows more consumers to experience the charm of the folding screen through a more affordable price.

Compared with high-end folding screen phones on the market that cost tens of thousands of yuan, the emergence of Nubia Flip 2 undoubtedly fills the gap in the mid-to-low-priced market. Although its processor performance is not outstanding, its core selling point – the popularity of folding screen technology – makes it the first choice for many consumers.

If Huawei really launches an affordable folding screen phone, it will undoubtedly further promote the “popularization” of the folding screen market. As a domestic technology giant, Huawei’s market appeal and brand influence will make it a leader in this market change.

Is Huawei finally going to change its market strategy?

So, how can Huawei attract more consumers, especially those in the mid- and low-end markets?

First of all, Huawei has demonstrated strong cost-effectiveness in other products. Take Huawei Enjoy 70X as an example. This phone is very affordable, but it supports satellite communication and Beidou functions, is equipped with a 6100mAh large battery, and supports 40W fast charging, which can fully meet daily use needs and even surpass competitors of the same price in some aspects.

If Huawei’s new folding screen product is priced between 3,000 and 4,000 yuan, it will be able to break the high price label of folding screen phones and become a product truly for the mass market.

After all, for most consumers, price is still an important factor in purchasing decisions. If Huawei can make enough technological breakthroughs in foldable screen phones and keep the price affordable, it will not only attract more consumers, but also help foldable screen technology enter a wider market.

In general, if Huawei really releases a foldable screen phone that “everyone can afford”, it will mark an important turning point in the foldable screen market. This move will not only enhance Huawei’s competitiveness in the market, but is also expected to promote technological progress and market penetration in the entire industry.

So, what do you think? Or will Huawei really launch an affordable foldable phone?
