People don't want foldables as thick as two full phones. Both sides of the foldable need to be thinner than any part of normal phone thickness, and phones these days are already incredibly thin.

Honor magic V3 has a larger battery while still being 24% thinner than the fold 6. Granted its using new battery tech. Still, samsung should do something or be outpaced by others.

Personally, I don't get why they're selling these super thin foldables if they can't make a battery that supports them for very long.

Because, they can and people buy it anyway. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Then again, my current daily driver is down to about 1800mAh and it's still doing fine during the work day.

What phone is that?

Honor magic V3

9.2mm folded! Holy crap, that's thin!

For perspective my current non-folding 6.8inch smartphone is 8.5mm thick. The honor fold smartphone is thinner while having a larger battery to begin with!

So, yeah really thin ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ

Given that HONOR is Chinese, they must have cut corners elsewhere. It is entirely impossible that Samsung, the second largest technology company in the world and the most advanced consumer electronics manufacturer, seated in South Korea, is beaten by a Chinese company.

Not at all. Chinese manufacters like honor, huawei have been ahead of samsung for much longer. Be it fast charging, new battery tech, better cooling system, better camera hardware, etc.

If not for sactions huawei was easily No.2 and perhaps even No.1 above apple.

It is entirely impossible that Samsung, the second largest technology company in the world and the most advanced consumer electronics manufacturer, seated in South Korea, is beaten by a Chinese company.

Its large only in size. There has not been any meaningful innovation in samsung at all. Even though they were one 1st to bring foldables it has hardly seen any new development. Mi mix flip, Honor magic V3 are proof of that.

Even their charging speeds are leaps and bounds faster than anything samsung. This misconception about large companies being impossible to beat has fallen many times over. Just look at Nokia, Blackberry as examples.
