Just a couple of years ago, folding mobiles were nothing more than futuristic concepts of what we would have at some point, with certain models presented but not for sale, although in the end everything has gone much faster than expected.
To this day there is and several folding phones that you can buy, all with Androidsince for now Apple has not entered this market, although everything indicates that it will do so soon.
We have been able to test several of the latest folding devices that have been put up for sale in Spain, from leading companies in the telephone sector and with high-end features in all cases, as well as prices that plummet with each new version.
There are already them for less than 1,000 euros, something unthinkable until very recentlyso it may be a good option if you want a powerful and above all striking phone, the kind that makes everyone stare as soon as you take it out of your pocket.
For now we have chosen the five best models that you can get while waiting for Oppo and Xiaomi models that will arrive, sooner or later, in Spain.
- Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 5G
- Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 5G
- Motorola RAZR 5G
- Huawei Mate Xs 2
- Huawei P50 Pocket
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 5G
This is probably the best and most balanced folding mobile of the moment, and it is that, although it is around 1,000 euros (without taking into account offers), this Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 is one of the most striking mobiles.
In addition, its performance is truly outstanding that leaves a great taste in the mouth in general terms for its capabilities and for how well the folding mechanism works, much improved lately.
The quality of its screen is good, especially for a panel that folds, something that always adds technical difficulty and that of course could trigger the price, but in this case it doesn’t and remains at the threshold of what we could classify as affordable.
If there is a fault with it, it is that the cameras are quite far from what could be expected from a phone of around 1,000 euros.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 5G
If you have to put a crown on the best folding mobile to buy, the Galaxy Z Fold 4 would undoubtedly be the winner, and we know this because we have been able to thoroughly test it in all its aspects.
Yes indeed, the price moves between 1,800 eurosdepending on the discounts that stores like Amazon apply to it, although it is worth it if you want to show off a flexible phone.
For example, its screen is truly outstanding, Dynamic AMOLED with 120 Hz refresh rate to fully enjoy games, series and movies. Fully deployed it has a 7.6-inch panel. The external screen is 6.2 inches in 23.1: 9 format (ie, longer than normal).
Furthermore, it equips none other than the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 as a processor, the best chip that this brand sells right now, so the power is guaranteed for now and for several years to come.
Motorola RAZR 5G
Motorola is another brand with tradition that has made a strong commitment to folding, and it has done so by recovering a flagship product from many years ago, its RAZR, now with 5G and more extras in this second edition of the Motorola Razr.
Of course, the price is still slightly below 1,200 euros when it is not on sale, so it is not exactly cheap.
Of course, Motorola this time has improved the complaints of its specifications starting with a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor, 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage.
The HD + screen is also below what the folding Samsung Galaxy offersso its main claim is undoubtedly design and nostalgia.
The new Motorola RAZR launched in 2022 is an option to take into account if you are looking for a phone of this type.
Huawei Mate Xs 2
The second generation of Huawei’s folding mobile is, without a doubt, something that is out of the “normal” in this type of product. Huawei Mate Xs 2 is a foldable mobile where the large screens are on the outside, not inside.
It uses a Snapdragon 888 4G processor that is well proven with good performance in all aspects, with a 50-megapixel camera, 13-megapixel wide-angle camera and a 4600mAh battery with 66W charging.
Undoubtedly a different option with a screen of up to 7.8 inches at 120 Hz and that closed has a dimension of 6.5 inches.
Huawei P50 Pocket
The problems that Huawei has with Google prevent you from using this brand’s mobile services on your devicesand that also prevents some apps like Google Maps or Gmail from working, although HarmonyOS (Huawei’s new system) has enough alternatives to satisfy anyone’s needs.
That said, it is something that is undoubtedly doing damage to Huawei’s catalog, although the Asian brand does not give up its efforts and continues to sell mobile phones that in their own right are one of the best on the market, such as the Huawei P50 Pocket, its model folding from 2022.
We have been able to submit it to analysis and the result is surprisingly good across the board, especially when it comes to performance and camera photos, which offers much better finishes than those of other folding mobiles.
With a foldable OLED panel, it is clearly ahead of the curve in this sector.
