Roberta Cozza, Gartner's research director, expects that people will use their foldable phones as they do their regular smartphones -- picking them up hundreds of times a day. They'll unfold devices like Samsung's Galaxy Fold and Huawei's Mate X "sporadically" to type on the plastic screen, which could scratch quickly depending on the folding mechanism.

"Through the next five years, we expect foldable phones to remain a niche product due to several manufacturing challenges," she said in a release.
