While Samsung was the best foldable phone maker for a few years, it is sad to see the company losing the race to its competitors from China, at least when it comes to technological breakthroughs.

Read MoreOppo is one of the handful of companies making foldable phones. Like all of them, it aims to challenge Samsung’s dominance of the foldable phone market. The company has launched a few models so far and the reactions have been mixed. A recent rumor, a rather outlandish one at that, claimed that Oppo was giving […]
Read MoreLast week a sketchy rumor – and, for what it’s worth, we did warn you about its sketchiness right from the get-go – claimed Oppo and vivo would be completely giving up on the foldable market, due to significantly lower sales in 2023. It seemed like an odd move, especially after pouring so much money […]
Read MoreGoogle was pretty late to the foldable party, and its first foldable phone was launched four generations after Samsung launched its first foldable smartphone.

It has now been revealed that Google took Samsung’s help to optimize Android for foldable phones. […]
Read MoreAccording to a very sketchy sounding rumor, Oppo and vivo are ready to call it quits on foldables.

The reason for this decision by these brands is allegedly that their foldable market share fell “significantly” last […]

Read MoreFoldables are now attainable, if not quite cheap. The Motorola Razr 40 Ultra is down to €800, its lowest price yet. It combines a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 with a 6.9” FHD+ 165Hz LTPO OLED internal display and a usable 3.6” cover display (144Hz, both 10-bit). The 12+13MP camera leaves something to be desired, but […]

Read MoreMobile-first social networks are surprisingly bad at adopting new form factors – for example, it was only this August that Instagram got support for foldable phones.

Read MoreSamsung may have impressed us with the incredibly quick rollout of One UI 6 for Galaxy devices of all price points, but we aren’t denying that things aren’t as good as can be.

Read MoreWhile Google has been optimizing Android for foldable phones and tablets since Android 12L, not all app developers are following suit by optimizing their apps for bigger screens.
