The foldable smartphone market is heating up as OPPO and HONOR prepare to launch new book-style foldables with a strong focus on eliminating the display crease. This signifies a shift in the competition, with the focus moving beyond thinness and into a new era of display refinement. Samsung and Apple are also expected to enter the scene with their solutions for a near-invisible crease.
The foldable smartphone market is about to get a significant boost with both OPPO and HONOR gearing up to launch new book-style devices. While OPPO has yet to announce the official release date for its Find N6 , anticipation is building, fueled by teases and behind-the-scenes glimpses of its innovative design. HONOR , on the other hand, has already set a firm date for its Magic V6 , promising a debut at MWC 2026 on March 1st.
A key focus for both manufacturers appears to be the elimination of the display crease, a common issue that has plagued foldable phones since their inception. This push for a seamless display marks a shift in the competitive landscape, moving beyond the race for thinness and entering a new era of display refinement.\OPPO’s Find N6 is the culmination of three years of research and development, involving numerous prototypes and rigorous testing. The company provided a behind-the-scenes look at its manufacturing process, highlighting the meticulous assembly and inspection steps, including a tolerance of just 0.03mm for component installation. Further demonstrating its commitment to durability, OPPO has implemented an automated testing stand that folds and unfolds the devices hundreds of thousands of times. One device reportedly showed no visible crease even after 170,000 cycles, a testament to the advancements in foldable display technology. Furthermore, the Find N6 has received TÜV Rheinland certification for having the flattest display on a foldable, and rumors suggest it will feature a quad-camera setup with a 200MP lens, co-engineered with Hasselblad. Rumors point to a launch date around March 17th. Similarly, HONOR is also emphasizing its commitment to a flawless display experience, with its Magic V6 showcasing an inner screen that is both flat and smooth. The company claims to have achieved this without compromising on the phone's thin and light design, incorporating a silicon-carbon “blade battery” and promising world-class ingress protection with IP68 and IP69 ratings. An improved hinge is also included to increase the durability.\The competition in the foldable market is intensifying, with the focus now firmly on display quality. While OPPO and HONOR are leading the charge in crease-less displays, Samsung is also expected to become a major contender. There are reports that Samsung’s display division is steadily working on solving the foldable crease problem for Apple, and it is likely that Samsung will use this technology in its own products soon. Furthermore, Apple is also likely working on its own foldable phone, the crease having been its main reason for not releasing a foldable phone previously. According to tipsters, Apple’s inaugural foldable phone will have a crease depth of under 0.15mm, making it nearly invisible. The importance of this seemingly minor detail cannot be overstated; creases have been a significant drawback of foldable phones, detracting from the visual experience and hindering the user's interaction with the device. The advancements being made by OPPO, HONOR, Samsung and potentially Apple suggest a turning point in the foldable smartphone market, where truly seamless folding displays may soon become the norm, ushering in a new era of foldable phone design and consumer satisfaction
