Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 5G

This phone opens like a book and is crafted with productivity in mind. Focused on users who adore a huge and bright screen, this device opens up to reveal a 7.6 inch gigantic 120 Hz screen which allows versatility to what you will do daily on this device. The fold 3 can be used as a stand in its partially folded form with great software support to maximise the functionality of the fold form factor. The narrowly sized phone when folded is very functional for one handed usage. The small battery capacity would mean regular charging. However, it comes with 25W fast charging which offers a quicker charge than the conventional 15W.

Huawei P50 Pocket

This clamshell designed phone looks luxurious with a unique accent of 2 circles on the top with an outer display and one that houses the cameras. There’s no IP rating on this device which may be a concern now that all phones do come with water and dust resistance ratings. The Snapdragon 888 chipset on this device performs excellently on this phone but the battery life is mediocre. The phone can be charged from 0% to 70% in 30 minutes with 40W fast charging. The phone’s camera is noticeably better in night-time photos on auto mode.

Huawei Mate Xs 2

The lightest foldable phone in its class, it is designed to fold outwards; revealing the phone screen on the outside. This phone is also much thinner than its Samsung rival which makes it much easier to pocket. There’s 2 RAM options of 8GB and 12GB that potential buyers can choose from. Similar to the P50 pocket, this phone will not have Google software support which may be a deal breaker for some users.
