Summary

  • SlashGear’s latest roundup picks 10 foldable phones to buy now, spanning flip, book-style and tri-fold models from Samsung, Motorola, Google, Honor and Huawei.
  • Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold7 leads the list with a 200MP main camera, a larger battery and durability rated for 500,000 folds, while the cheaper Z Flip7 is pitched as the more accessible flip option.
  • Motorola stands out with breadth: the Razr 2026 is framed as a budget-friendly entry point, the Razr Fold as a strong book-style rival with a 6,000 mAh battery and 80W charging, and the Razr Ultra 2026 as a pricier premium pick.
  • Google’s Pixel 10 Pro Fold earns praise for polished software and 7 years of updates, while Honor’s Magic V6 and Huawei’s Mate X7 and Mate XT impress on thinness, batteries and cameras but face U.S. availability and software limits.
  • The list underscores how foldables have moved beyond niche early-adopter devices, with more brands, lower-cost options and distinct trade-offs in hinges, creases, software and market access.
