The craze for foldable phones has increased in the last few years. Now a recent report says that the popularity of book-style foldable phones will continue this year, but there will be a decline in the demand for flip phones. Let us tell you that companies like Samsung and Google have already strengthened their place in the foldable segment. While Samsung is leading the segment with phones like Galaxy Z Fold 7, Google also launched Pixel 10 Pro Fold a few days ago. This year Apple can also launch a book-style foldable iPhone.

Demand for foldable will increase more than flip

Counterpoint Research’s report says that in 2026, the demand for book-style foldable phones with large screens will be higher than that of flip phones. Book-style foldable phones will account for 52 percent of global shipments of foldable phones in 2025. This year this number may increase to 65 percent. On the other hand, the demand for flip phones is expected to decrease. A big reason for this is that people are buying big screen foldable phones considering them as productivity-focused devices, whereas the form factor like flip phone is no longer new for them.

Apple will explode

Apple’s first foldable phone has been awaited for a long time. This wait will finally end in September this year, when Apple will launch the iPhone Fold. Counterpoint says that Apple’s book-style iPhone can see a huge increase in the sales of this segment. Apple also has high expectations from this iPhone. It has also been said in the report that the initial phase of foldable phones has now passed and now the emphasis is on making multitasking easier on them.
