The foldable smartphone was a flawed novelty only a few years ago, but recent models have truly married innovative design with solid reliability and usability.
When the first folding smartphones arrived, they looked and felt like something from the future. Now, just a few years after those early models were made available in limited quantities, these exciting devices have been steadily refined and improved so they’re ready for everyday use. While prices are dropping as the technology matures, they’re still expensive purchases, so making the right buying decision is imperative.
The fourth generation of Samsung's flagship foldable is here, and it's everything we hoped for and more. The Z Fold 4 takes great photos. It has a 50-megapixel main camera, a 12MP wide-angle, and a 10MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom and 30x max digital zoom lenses. Anyone who takes video will love that it maxes out at a whopping 8K resolution at 24frames per second .
Google's first entry in the foldable market is a surprisingly good one. If you don't like the tall and narrow cover display of the Z Fold 4 or just prefer a cleaner, more stock Android experience, then the Pixel Fold could be worth considering.

The cameras aren't super great though, as you only get a 12MP main camera, 13MP ultrawide, and 32MP selfie camera. Pictures will come out fine for the most part, but the colors may be slightly off from what you see in reality, and the phone may not capture motion shots very well. The Z Flip 4 takes everything we loved about the Z Flip 3 and improves on it. In our review, we go so far as to say this is an almost perfect foldable flip phone, and we've even questioned if it's a better buy than the Galaxy Z Fold 4.
The Z Flip 3 was a bestseller for Samsung, and with these small but important upgrades, the Z Flip 4 looks set to follow hot on its heels. However, despite better battery life, you're only going to get a full day out of this phone, and the 8GB of RAM may be limiting if you're a serious multitasker, in which case the Z Fold 4 is likely a better choice for you.
It’s surprisingly difficult to imagine how transformative owning a folding smartphone can be, so we really recommend trying one out in a shop before buying. Often, just the action of folding and unfolding the phone is often enough to fire your imagination, and you’ll start to understand how helpful this new wave of smartphones can be. Not everyone will benefit from the technology, but don’t dismiss them until you’ve held one in your hands.
