models and adding new long-awaited features such as a 120Hz refresh rate for both displays. I wish the price was a little more attractive, but at the same time, the Galaxy Z Fold3 has a lower starting price than the Z Fold 2 when it debuted in 2020.

The increased durability of this foldable smartphone (now rated IPX8 for water resistance and a more durable screen) will alleviate concerns some people might have about whether the Galaxy Z Fold can withstand the rigors of everyday use. Samsung has also paid particular attention to working with app makers to ensure their software is optimized for the unique 7.6-inch foldable display.

S Pen support has been added to the Galaxy Z Fold3, similar to the Galaxy S21 Ultra, but optional. This means you’ll have to pay extra for the S Pen as well as the stylus case since the phone itself doesn’t have a slot. But the Galaxy Z Fold3’s large main display offers plenty of space for drawing and taking notes.

If you’re looking for the most powerful foldable phone and one of the best devices overall, then the Galaxy Z Fold 3 is a good choice, as long as you’re on a hefty budget.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4

Main screen size: 6.7 inches (2640 x 1080)
Sub screen size: 1.9″ (260 x 512)
CPU: Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1
RAM/Storage: 8GB/128GB, 256GB, 512GB
Open Size: 84 .9 x 71.9 x 15.9-17.1 mm
Closed size: 165.2 x 71.9 x 6.9 mm
Weight: 187 g

Pros

• Extended battery and faster charging
• Excellent performance
• Same price as previous model

Cons

• Minimal camera upgrades
• Display wrinkle still noticeable

upgrades are a faster Snapdragon chipset 8 Plus Gen 1 and a larger 3700mAh battery that charges slightly faster at 25W.

But the battery in particular is a very important upgrade. Although its operating time is not a record, it eliminates one of the weakest aspects of the previous model.

It’s not really necessary to upgrade your device from the Z Flip 3 to the Z Flip 4, but these upgrades are enough to make the Galaxy Z Flip 4 a better clamshell phone. Given the promises of the manufacturer to regularly release software updates, it should remain a good phone for a few more years.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3

Most affordable foldable phone0036 Secondary Screen Size: 1.9″ (260 x 512)
Processor: Snapdragon 888
RAM/Storage: 8GB/128GB, 256GB
Open Size: 165×71 x 7 mm
Closed size: 86 x 71 x 16-17 mm

Pros

• More affordable
• Extended durability
• Extended lid display

Cons

• Short battery life
• No telephoto lens

Replacing the Galaxy Z Flip 5G, the new Galaxy Z Flip3 sets new standards. The phone not only became more durable, but also acquired a better quality display. It is larger and contains more useful information.

The Flip3 design is more streamlined, with square edges and beautiful color schemes. It also received some internal upgrades, such as the Snapdragon 888 processor. However, the cameras and battery remain the same – the Galaxy Z Flip3 does not have a telephoto lens.

For the price, the Flip 3 is the most affordable folding device ever, but it has its drawbacks. Unfortunately, the battery life is not great at all. The bend in the middle remains quite noticeable to the touch or in the light.

The

Galaxy Z Flip 3 is probably the foldable device that most people will want to look at due to its attractive starting price. This is a stylish accessory that folds neatly to fit in your pocket or purse.

Cons

• No official IP rating

9 0058 Not the best sound

We would like to introduce another of our favorite folding smartphones – it’s the Find N. It has an attractive design, an outstanding folding screen, an easy-to-use lid, and its performance, cameras, and battery life are truly impressive. The absence of a wrinkle on the folding screen is aesthetically pleasing, while the smooth transition of content between the two screens with matching colors and brightness is literally amazing.

Find N is not a perfect device. It does not have official water and dust protection, the camera on the screen is not the best, and most importantly, it is extremely difficult to purchase, so in this case the naming is right on target. However, Find N does support Google services. One thing we can say for sure is that as Oppo’s first foldable smartphone, the Find N does a lot of things right.

Dimensions: 161. 3 x 78.5 x 11 mm / 161.3 x 146.2 x 5.4 mm
Weight: 300g

Pros

• Edge-to-edge outer screen
• Same main and selfie cameras

Cons

• No Google apps and services

Huawei Mate Xs is the successor of Huawei The Mate X has received a ton of updates, resulting in a more robust device that has the same premium design as the original Mate X. also, the device does not have access to other features such as Google Maps.

Regardless, the Huawei Mate Xs is a pretty impressive smartphone and a great implementation of the foldable concept. It is a variant with a single external screen that either folds out to form an 8-inch tablet display or folds up to a 6.6-inch format.

It’s also powerful, with a high-end Kirin 990 chipset, 8GB RAM, 512GB storage, a quad-camera (led by a 40MP main sensor), a 4500mAh battery, and a stylish no-cutout design. And all this could not but lead to a rather high price.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2

Outdated best foldable smartphone ; 120 Hz)
Sub screen size : 6.2″ (2260 x 816 pixels)
CPU: Snapdragon 865 Plus
RAM/Storage: 12 GB / 256 GB
Open Size: 1 57x127x7 mm
Closed size: 157x66x17 mm
Weight: 280 g

Pros

• Flex mode adds versatility
• More durable
• Large convenient display on the lid

Cons

• Expensive
• Heavy

As before, the Samsung phone opens like a book to reveal a large display inside. But because the hinge is now cam-assisted, you can open the Galaxy Z Fold 2 at different angles, allowing for a new Flex Mode feature that separates the display into viewing and action areas. Multitasking has also been improved, now you can group applications in pairs to run at the same time.

The display on the outer cover of the Galaxy Z Fold 2 has grown to 6. 2 inches, giving you plenty of work space even when the phone is closed. If you switch from the external to the internal display while browsing, continuity mode allows you to pick up where you left off.

Samsung is likely to release the new Galaxy Fold later this year, rumored to be in August. The new phone will reportedly add support for the S Pen, just like the Galaxy S21 Ultra. But until that happens, no other foldable phone can match the Galaxy Z Fold 2.

Motorola hopes it can pull off the same trick with the Motorola Razr 5G. which Samsung has done with its Galaxy Z Fold 2. We have haven’t had a chance to check out the Razr 5G yet, but after testing the original Razr (2019), we think that Motorola has something to strive for.

The original Razr is reminiscent of the clamshell designs of yesteryear. But the build quality wasn’t impressive, the camera was disappointing, and the phone ran out of juice after just 6 hours of our battery test. Motorola appears to have addressed some of these issues with the 5G version of the Razr, which brings important design changes such as a sturdy hinge and a waterdrop display that keeps the two sides of the phone flush when closed. The external quick view screen now supports gesture control. The more powerful Snapdragon 765G processor should boost performance while adding 5G connectivity.

Will these changes help the Motorola Razr 5G justify its price? We will know for sure as soon as we test the new version.

What to look for in a foldable smartphone

Before you buy a foldable phone, you need to think about what it can offer you compared to a standard phone. If you don’t need the extra screen real estate that foldable smartphones offer, you might be better off going with a phablet or one of the best big phones we’ve tested.

However, if you really need a folding phone, don’t forget to pay attention to the design of the device. Early foldable phones like the Galaxy Fold and the original Motorola Razr had design quirks that made you think twice before buying. But with the Galaxy Z Fold 2, Samsung has made some important changes that make the phone more resilient for everyday use. (Even then, it still isn’t waterproof—a feature that only appeared on the Galaxy Z Fold3 and Galaxy Z Flip3). It also makes sense to study the strength of the folding phone hinge design and find out how many cycles of opening and closing the device without damage the manufacturer guarantees.

When shopping for a foldable smartphone, consider having two screens – a larger internal display and an additional screen, usually located outside the device. Determine what you may need an external screen for – do you want to fully run applications or do you need it only for notifications and some other small functions? And does the screen support a Samsung-style continuity feature where the app you’re using on the external screen is waiting for you when you open the device?

In addition to the size, you need to make sure that the closed folding phone will be comfortable for you to carry around. Evaluate it from the point of view of a regular phone – processor, cameras and, especially, battery life. After all, a foldable phone usually has multiple screens, and battery life is wasted.

Keep in mind that foldable phones are a fairly new category in the smartphone world and we expect big changes in the segment. After the August debuts of the new versions of the Fold and Flip, Samsung is rumored to be working on a scrollable screen device called the Galaxy Scroll.

Other phone manufacturers design their own devices. Apple is rumored to be developing an iPhone Flip, though it’s unlikely to arrive this year, and the Google Pixel Fold is also presumably in development and in line for a fall debut. True, we are not so optimistic.

One model that is definitely not worth waiting for is the LG Rollable. LG promised to release it this year after the presentation at CES 2021, but the expandable screen phone has fallen victim to the closure of this direction. Although the company’s employees were able to buy several available models. Other LG dual screen devices such as the LG Wing are currently unavailable.
