• Reporting points to an ultra‑premium Samsung launch with an initial run of around 50,000 units and a potential price above 4 million KRW.
• Huawei’s move intensifies competition in foldables, where it holds 75% share in China and has sold 470,000 units of the first Mate XT, according to IDC data cited by CNBC.
