I’ve tested the iPhone Duo, Galaxy Z Fold 8, Pixel 11 Pro Fold, and Razr Fold - here’s the foldable phone I recommend
Key Points:
- Apple’s new iPhone Duo foldable faces supply shortages and shipping delays but has received strong initial reviews, especially for its display brightness, battery life, and camera quality.
- The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 competes closely with the iPhone Duo, offering superior multitasking capabilities, Google Gemini AI advantages, and a lower price, though it falls short in camera performance and battery life compared to Apple’s device.
- The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra stands out with its premium $2,099 price, elite triple-camera system including 3x optical zoom, longest battery life, and the brightest smartphone display ever tested.
- The Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold is less recommended due to uninspired design, weaker battery, and lower benchmarks, despite unique software features like Rambler voice-to-text and Creator Mode teleprompter functionality.
- The Motorola Razr Fold is praised as the best overall value foldable, with a large 6,000 mAh battery, 512GB storage, strong AI-enhanced camera performance, and desktop mode support, making it the editor’s top pick for a $2,000 foldable outside the Apple ecosystem.
