Everyone thought that the days of phones that fold are over, but there are quite a few fans of such models among us and for good reason.
These gadgets have many advantages
-
compact
-
can unfold to the size of a tablet
-
despite the fact that they combine the best features - cause a feeling of nostalgia
-
original technical solutions, as each device is assembled according to its own technique
-
are still not very popular on the market - it's rare to meet a person with such a phone
At the moment, manufacturers can offer us such models
Samsung Galaxy Fold
The first of the line of bendable smartphones, the world saw this device from the Korean company Samsung. The unique smartphone drew the attention of the world's media and bloggers, who immediately decided to test the device, of course, that it was not without flaws.
Samsung Galaxy Fold is endowed with a special film, which supports the functionality of the phone, but users removed it, mistaking it for a protective device, and of course the gadget stopped working.
In addition, there were cases when even without removing the film, the smartphone refused to function after the first week of use.
After unsuccessful testing, Samsung finalized all the shortcomings and now the device will not fail prematurely.
And what about the features?
-
two screens that fold into one with a diagonal of 7.3 inches
-
snapdragon 855 processor
-
12 GB of RAM
-
512GB of internal memory
Huawei Mate X
Unlike the previous smartphone, this device bends outward, which helped the company make it much more comfortable than the Samsung Galaxy Fold and save money on an extra screen. Huawei says it pays a lot of attention to the phone's functionality: constantly improving and working on screen usability.
Motorola RAZR 2019
What we said about the nostalgia that similar phones evoke, embodies this gadget from the legendary Motorola RAZR line, which was literally reborn before our eyes, but is now produced under the humble brand name Lenovo. But about the status of the "most durable phones" you can argue. The manufacturer indicates that the device can withstand 100 thousand cycles of bending, but after testing it turned out that a little more than 27 thousand - its maximum.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip
Samsung decided not to stop there and in 2020 the world saw the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip. This gadget no longer has a large display, but an element of nostalgia returns, as the device does look like foldable phones from the noughties. Although Samsung claims that the smartphone is made of unique glass, experts who were able to test this model say that it scratches just like products made of plastic. And the technical characteristics of the device are worse than those of the previous model from this manufacturer.
The list includes tested models that have already been released, so we will wait for the announced models, which have not yet appeared on the market, to write a review on them as well. Among such smartphones: Xiaomi Mi Flex, LG V, Google Pixel Flex.
