8610086100Samsung Galaxy Flip 6 review: A slightly better foldable aimed at everyone
With the Z Flip 6, Samsung addresses some of the Z Flip 5’s biggest shortcomings: battery life and middling cameras. This is the foldable for most of us, but I wish it offered more.

Even without a new main camera, Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold’s sleeker design, brighter screens and native stylus support are enough to maintain its rank as the best big foldable phone on the market.

OnePlus Open review: A thinner and more affordable flagship foldable
Packing a lighter frame, super-bright displays, innovative multitasking and a price of just $1,500 (after OnePlus' trade-in offer), the Open is a very intriguing and more affordable take on a big, fancy foldable phone.

8810088100Apple iPhone 15 review: The most substantial update to the regular iPhone in years
In an era when the “regular” iPhone has become a home for the previous year’s Pro features, the iPhone 15 actually feels like a significant upgrade.

iOS 17 review: Notable new features and streamlined touches
iOS 17 brings some substantial new features and a lot of upgrades that streamline how you use your iPhone, especially when connecting with other iPhone users. After more time with the finished product, iOS 17 feels like a big quality-of-life upgrade for iPhone users. Without a big tentpole feature, it’s harder to pinpoint why it’s so much better — but we'll try.

8810088100Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 review: Still the best flip-foldable
Thanks to superior cameras, a useful external display and a more established track record in foldables, Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 5 is the best in its category.

8610086100Galaxy Z Fold 5 review: Five years in, Samsung is treading water
While Samsung's Z Fold 5 is still the best foldable phone on the market, there aren't a ton of major upgrades on the latest model. And with a price that starts at $1,800, it's still extremely expensive too.

7110071100Motorola Razr (2023) review: A midrange foldable that underwhelms
Motorola’s attempt at a mid-range foldable cuts too many corners. While it has a premium, bright 6.9-inch internal display, its tiny external display isn’t as useful (or as big) as rival flip-phones. Camera performance is also lacking, but battery life is a standout for this form-factor.

Following the success of its first handset, Nothing's Phone 2 boasts an even more well-rounded kit including a faster chip, a slick new Monochrome UI and an expanded Glyph interface.

8510085100Moto Razr+ review: Finally some real competition for Samsung’s Flip foldables
With a roomy 3.6-inch external display, the Moto Razr+ is arguably the most useful flip-style foldable phone on the market. But it’s held back by lackluster cameras, limited software updates and long-term durability concerns.
