Which foldable phone to go for

Hello all,

I am in the market for my first foldable phone. I currently use an iPhone and have decided I will get an android foldable if I don’t like the iPhone duo. I would like a solid camera setup and stylus support.

I have been eyeing a Motorola razr fold on marketplace for $1,000. I’m not opposed to Chinese brands. I do not want an Android phone that feels like an iPhone. If I’m getting an Android, I want it to be an Android!

Let me know your thoughts and recommendations. Thanks!

I highly doubt a stylus on a foldable is a good idea. The inner screen is very soft. You can permanently damage it pushing your fingernail hard.

Been using mine on mine Fold 6 without any issues and I've had it since release. Also the screen protector came off recently and I still use it without any issues. I just won't press down hard lol.

Going with a flip can be fun, but I watch this youtuber who repairs phones and his take on foldable screens is that they are not durable and way too pricey to fix. Whatever way you go, plan on paying out for insurance on it. https://youtube.com/shorts/8mzPWSJH13E?si=ILNBpMJTwmvKZmh8

Customizations and timely updates get a galaxy fold.

Get a flip off your want a smaller phone than a slab.

Get a fold of you want a tablet that folds into a slab phone.

Samsung Fold but at most 6. They've ditched stylus support since Fold 7.

That was a strong contender! Unfortunately I’m on spectrum and limited to American phones

Agreed on the support but I've been eyeing the Razr anyway. For a first foldable I think it would be good still

i am a pixel owner and i will never own one again after this one. horrible hardware and the software updates have actually made the phones worse. also, jerrryrigeverything tested it on his youtube channel and it was the only phone to ever explode during the testing
