Folding smartphones have come to conquer and many users are already opting for this type of terminal.
Brands are answering this call and are launching new top terminals. Get to know the seven folding ones that are already and are coming to revolutionize this premium segment.
1. OPPO Find N
This is OPPO’s first foldable smartphone and it has set the bar at a very high level. First of all, because of the integrated hinge system that not only hides the fold of the screen quite well, but also allows the terminal to close (almost) perfectly.
It was launched in December 2021 and therefore integrates an older processor, the Snapdragon 888, which is combined with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of capacity. It’s also powered by a 4,500mAh battery with 33W fast charging.
The inner screen is 7.1 inches, with a resolution of 1920×1792 pixels, a refresh rate of 120 Hz and even support for HDR10 +, while the outer one is 5.49 inches and has a resolution of 1972×988 pixels.
The good news is that the brand is already working on a successor to this foldable device that could raise OPPO’s bar even higher.
2.Huawei Mate XS
If it weren’t for the absence of Google services, the Huwei Mate XS risks being the best foldable on the market. Bringing with it a new folding concept, the huge eight-inch 2480×2200 pixel main screen folds down to form a 6.6-inch 2480×1148 pixel secondary screen.
Inside it houses the brand-owned Kirin 990 processor and 8 GB of RAM plus 512 GB of internal storage. Optically, it has a 40-megapixel primary sensor, a 16-megapixel ultra-wide sensor, and an eight-megapixel telephoto sensor with 3x optical zoom.
It is powered by a 4,500 mAh battery with a 55-watt fast charge, one of the fastest in its segment. Since it was released in February 2020, it’s still pretty current. If it wasn’t for the absence of Google services…
