Motorola RAZR
Compact flip style foldables like this here Motorola Razer 2022 this thing is ridiculously tiny when it's folded up so even squeezing it into skinny jeans isn't a prostate troubling experience thanks to that outer display you can check your notifications and even use all of your apps kind of without having to bother opening it up however once unfilled the rears of 2022 serves up a sizeable 6.7 inch AMOLED screen for playing games and join a better than Netflix's whatever you fancy qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 plus gen 1 is in charge so this phone can handle gentian impact pubg any Android title you throw at it without breaking a sweat for your camera Shenanigans you've got a 50 megapixel primary sensor with Optical image stabilization as well as an ultra wide 13 Meg shooter that main sensor can also be used for selfies and it can record up to 8K resolution video making it both flexible and also powerful so limited battery life aside the Motorola Razer 2022 is an all-round Blinder and you can grab yourself one right now and blighty for just 800 pounds and if you're tempted there's a full review of The Mortal Razer and all the other foldable phones in this Roundup live right now on text birth now one possible reason for that reduced price is the fact the Motorola is said to be launching a fresh new bendy phone just this week the Mortal rays are 40 Ultra most of the specs for the 40 Ultra are likely to remain the same with a slight boost to the battery size and charging speeds you can expect the same Snapdragon smarts and the same Mighty AMOLED screen packed inside so what's actually changed well the external screen is said to have grown to fill that front end making it even better for mucking about with apps I'll hopefully be bringing you a full unboxing and review of that bad boy imminently now another brilliant bendy
Oppo Find N2 Flip
Blower that's similar to that Motorola Razer smartphone is oppo's excellent here in blighty for about 850 quid the stinky bendy blower magically expands in your hand to a proud 6.8 incher with only a subtle bit of cruise action thanks to oppo's very clever ass flexian hinge that internal display is bright and Punchy while you also get a ruddy huge cover screen with a proper aspect ratio for running apps it's just a shame therefore the you can't actually run any apps on it you do have a small selection of widgets including a calendar and a timer and you can also get snelled up by a malevolent bunny so that's always great but but the good news is that Oppo has already updated that cover display so now you can reply to any messages that pop up using speech to text and there's also a fresh new Spotify widget so here's what the Oppo continues to update and improve the find and 2 flip with these kind of features the find them to flip also boasts enough grunt to run the latest games you've got superb battery life for a compact foldable and some pretty decent camera Tech too so overall I like it a lot Samsung also
Offers its own version of a compact foldable phone the Galaxy Z flip 4 which can be yours for around a grand this serves up a similar design to the mortal and Oppo efforts but with Samsung's one UI launcher slapped on top of Android the 6.7 inch internal OLED is an absolute boot as usual despite the all too obvious crease while you once again have a dinky external display for checking notifications and the like again it's not as flexible as that bigger Motorola covers screen but it still comes in handy performance is solid even for gaming while the Zed flip 4 also packs a pretty decent 12 Meg camera for snapping Your Existence although in more testing conditions it does fall over a bit and impressively the Z flip 4 is also ipx's water resistant which is ridiculously Ruddy rare for a bendy blower so it's perfect if you want a foldable flexible friend for Rocking around the pool it's only the not exactly fantastic battery life some light software Jank and the 1000 pound asking price that prevent me from merrily recommending it to absolutely everyone now if you'd rather have a
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4
Proper Beefcake that actually unfurls into a tablet style device well check out Samsung's Galaxy Z fold 4. this latest model is slightly Slimmer and lighter than the previous generation but it is still a proper pocket filler and it weighs 263 grams so it ain't exactly a lightweight the z-fold 4 is once again ipx8 water resistant and that exterior is Pretty Tough thanks to the aluminum frame and the Victor's Glass Android is as always smothered with Samsung one UI launcher for Better or For Worse customization options are good with the video wallpaper feature a particular highlight the 6.2 inch Dynamic AMOLED cover screen is a crisp 120hz Beast while the 7.6 inch interior screen is once again AMOLED Tech but this time Boston a supremely sharp Quad HD Plus resolution plus you've got a camouflaged under display selfie cam giving you a full view finish and certainly proper good if you fancy a bit of multitasking so you can check out a web page while you're writing a message or watch some bold Tech on YouTube while you can pause a sonnet whatever you fancy performance again comes courtesy of the Snapdragon 8 plus gen 1 so gaming is a breezy experience of course The 4400 milliamp hour dual cell battery means that you are limited to around 5 hours of screen on time a day and that wide charging does max out at just 25 watts although at least you've got 15 watt wireless charging support which is rather Ruddy nice and as for that camera Tech well the triple lens setup captains by a 50 meg primary sensor with ois isn't as good as those s23 Shooters but as long as the lighting isn't too dim you'll generally get good looking picks from that main cam plus you've got the ultra wide and telephoto Snappers while the z-fold 4 can also capture up to 8K resolution video a similar but cheaper
Honor Magic Vs
Alternative to that Samsung Galaxy Z fold is this here on a magic vs which is just as massive and Hefty but it does actually fully fold with no awkward Gap thanks to an improved hinge mechanism although unlike Samsung's brick there is no water resistance here you've once again got a full HD OLED with 120 hertz refresh slapped on the outside with a 7.9 inch OLED scrolled away inside and that massive panel is a sharp and Poppy stunner but this time the refresh rate does max out at just 90 Hertz not that my Knack at all peepers can really tell the difference between 90 and 120 hertz the magic OS launcher is a tad more janky and not as well set up for foldable phones as when you AI so the overall experience feels a bit more budget but you do get that same Snapdragon 8 plus gen 1 performance surprise surprise and battery life is a massive highlight here thanks to the almighty 5000 milliamp hour cells and certainly if longevity is a priority for you then the honor magic vs will satisfy you've also got 66 watt wide charger where you do finally drain the bugger although sadly there's no wireless charging support that camera Tech is comparable to the z-fold 4 again with ultrawide and telephoto options and again Limited in low light shooting and more tax and circumstances so overall while I prefer the design and the battery life not to mention the price tag of the honor magic vs Samsung definitely has the advantage when it comes to the water resistance the wireless charging and the less janky software now one foldable phone I've
Huawei Mate X3
only briefly funneled so far is Huawei's impressive new bendy blower the mid X3 this is one of the most impressively skinny full-sized foldable yet despite its slender design you've got a 4000 800 milliamp-hour battery with 66-foot wide and 50-watt wireless charging that 50 meg ultra vision camera should be a belter while the OLED displays are bright and tasty and hey you'll never guess it's once again powered by the exceedingly popular Snapdragon 8 plus gen one however as with all Huawei smartphones regrettably there's no hot Google action on boards and also there's a small matter of the fact that it costs 2 000 Gbps which is I mean just kind of so besides that Motorola Razer 40 Ultra
Google Pixel Fold
what other flexible phones can we expect to see later in 2023 well next month we'll have the global release of Google's pixel fold another savings drain I like the Huawei mate X3 except for this time it unsurprisingly has all that Google Shenanigans stuffed inside the price is still pan-filling horrifying though so unless your daddy pot owns an emerald mine you probably won't be getting one of them alternatively if you
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold & Flip 5
want to hang on for Samsung's latest flexible wonders you'll have to be patient the Galaxy Zedfold 5 and Z Flip 5 aren't expected to emerge before August to catch up with other bendy Rivals from 2023 I'm expecting a much bigger cover display and a re-engineered notch to eliminate That Awkward happy
One-Plus Foldable
Gap and hopefully you'll have some good camera Tech that's on par with the rather good s23 blowers and then there's that much-hyped OnePlus foldable which will likely be based on the Oppo Find N2 another form which was heavily inspired by Samsung's Galaxy Z fold so lead the upper find N2 never actually made it outside of China so at least this alternative stay tuned again hopefully for a full unboxing and review of all of these bad boys so that right there is my pick of the very best foldable phones I've personally tested and reviewed you could grab right now in 2023 be great to your thoughts down below if you've actually used any of these bendy blouses you're on full-time smartphone definitely please hit us up with your mini review down below and which flexible mobiles are you most looking forward to in the meantime please do Puck subscribe ding that notifications Bell for more on the latest greatest bendy as Tech and have yourselves a really wonderful rest of the week cheers everyone love you.
