Samsung will need to stay on its A game, but they'll always have a more compelling overall product. Ecosystem, support, features, trade-in deals.... The Chinese always look dominant on paper, but are never the "killers" specs would suggest. Anybody who thinks the Chinese OEMs have discovered anything Apple and Samsung haven't is smoking something; more than likely, they "borrowed."

I think it's only a matter of time before Chinese brands surpass Samsung when it comes to foldables. The situation in the US is a bit synthetic, with the Samsung-Apple duopoly maintained pretty much by government incentives and laws. R&D budgets and operational profit margins are so much different between Chinese brands and Samsung/Apple that the latter two are bound to fall behind (and it's already happening).
With all due respect, Huawei pretty much invented the outward-folding screen with no crease with the Mate Xs. I'm not arguing "for" or "against" (the design has its flaws, but it's still original), just saying Chinese brands don't always copy Samsung and/or Apple. It might've been that way in the past, but now the R&D budgets of Chinese companies are times what Samsung and Apple spent combined. And it shows: variable aperture cameras, ultra-fast charging, innovative designs (Mate Xs, Watch Buds, Xiaomi 11 Ultra, etc.)

The only time Samsung had the best foldable was when they had the only foldable on the market
You know there's never been a time when Samsung had the only foldable on the market, right? That's a rhetorical question.
