2019 is the year of the foldable phone.
Over the past few years, new handsets haven’t had a lot to distinguish themselves from the competition. We’ve seen more powerful cameras and larger screens, but the basic design has been a bit stuck. However, in the past week both Samsung and Huawei have showcased bendable devices that can unfold from pocket-size into a larger tablet-like screen. And companies like Oppo and TCL are also showing off their own concepts, though those are only prototypes for now. In terms of what you’ll be able to buy soon, we’ve taken the incoming Galaxy Fold and Mate X and faced them off against the only folding phone that’s made it to market so far: the Royole FlexPai. There’s a lot more than just those eye-watering prices to take a look at below.
