The camera selection is usually less than motivating– the Huawei Mate X2 was the very first to bring a periscope lens, while the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2 only has a 2x tele video camera (and the Z Flip has none).

It feels like foldable phones are on the brink of becoming mainstream. It probably will not happen this year as rates are still too high (and the chip lack isnt assisting), but foldable may become the default kind factor for a flagship in the next couple of years, while rigid phones get relegated to the mid-range.

The second poll is more open-ended and you can choose multiple choices. What functions are crucial to you? Were sure numerous will quickly tick the “affordable cost” choice, however we understand that others would be prepared to pay leading dollar for the best feature set.

Battery life hasnt been terrific either. The Mate X2 handled just a 74h Endurance ranking in our tests, the Z Fold2 was a bit better at 81h, the Z Flip managed 85h. These are not stellar numbers and the cause is obvious (big screens and challenging battery positioning).

Getting stylus assistance will go fantastic with those big foldables too. Or perhaps even bigger double foldables (of which none exist yet beyond the prototype stage, however were looking towards the future).

Once again, cost is undoubtedly a significant concern. You probably have other considerations too, like the sturdiness of the device or getting features that are standard on regular flagships, however are still unusual on foldables.
