Owning the foldable playbook: Why HONOR gets it right

By: Debo Zhang, General Manager for HONOR GCC

The premium smartphone sector stands at a critical evolutionary juncture. For years, the book-style foldable form factor was treated as an expensive concept vehicle, a fragile luxury where consumers paid exorbitant sums for incremental updates and safe compromises.

However, as the global market reaches a major competitive inflection point with legacy incumbents rolling out their latest iterations like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 series, the strategic playbook has fundamentally changed.

Sports Drinks, Iced Coffees and Frequent Sipping Could Harm Teeth, Warn RAK Hospital Dentists

Expert highlights how summer beverages may increase the risk of enamel erosion and tooth sensitivity

22 July 2026; Dubai, UAE: As UAE residents turn to sports drinks, electrolyte beverages, iced coffees and flavoured sparkling waters to stay cool and hydrated during the summer months, dental experts at RAK Hospital are cautioning that some hydration choices may unintentionally affect oral health. While preventing dehydration remains essential, dentists emphasise that the type of drink and how it is consumed can significantly impact teeth.
