December 17, 2021, Korea News 1 said, "Three years have passed since Samsung Electronics pioneered the foldable phone (folding smartphone) market, and the Chinese manufacturer OPPO has narrowed the technological gap." I told you. According to the article, OPPO announced the first foldable phone "OPPOFindN" at its own event on the 15th. It is a type that opens sideways, the same as Samsung Electronics' foldable phone "GalaxyZFold3". After Samsung Electronics launched "Galaxy Fold" in 2019, Huawei released "MateX2" and Xiaomi released "MiMIXFOLD", but it is said that they are not as good as Samsung Electronics in terms of technology. There were many evaluations. However, "OPPOFindN" is a premium grade specification, and it has been evaluated that the problem unique to foldable phones, such as wrinkles on the display when folded, has been improved more than Samsung Electronics' products. In terms of design, "OPPOFindN" is also highly rated. According to Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC), Samsung Electronics captured a 93% share of the global foldable phone market with the Galaxy ZFold3 and GalaxyZFlip3 in the July-September quarter of this year. On the other hand, "OPPOFindN" is sold only in the Chinese market, but depending on the reaction in the Chinese market, there is a good possibility that it will change from its own OS "ColorOS" to Google OS and enter the global market. , ensuring competitiveness through usability and software is more important than hardware,” the article points out. In response to this article, Korean netizens commented, "It's as if you want to say that China is wonderful." What narrowed the disparity?" "Since Samsung's market share in China is low, we decided to sell even the parts and supplied the display." "The reporter properly investigated the facts. Write an article from "How about writing an article about how many parts made in Korea are used in OPPO's foldable phone?" are doing. In addition, ``Even if there are no wrinkles at first, it will get wrinkled as you fold it over and over. Search for it on YouTube.'' ``No matter how hard I try, I won't buy Chinese products.'' I won't buy it because I can't trust it." (Translation/Editing/Mae)
