Google’s Android software offers a simple and elegant user experience, although apps tend to look better on Samsung’s foldable phones. There’s room for improvement in terms of Android’s compatibility with larger screens, and Google should work on this aspect.
One area where the Pixel Fold falls short is its pricing, as $1,799 / £1,749 is undeniably a substantial investment. Nevertheless, you’re essentially getting two premium devices in one package, and Google’s pricing reflects that dual functionality.
Number 5. Oppo Find N2 Flip
Oppo has made an international debut in the clamshell foldable market with its Oppo Find N2 Flip, and it seems like a device designed to outshine the Z Flip 4 in several aspects. Although Samsung has responded with the Z Flip 5, Oppo’s offering remains a strong contender at an attractive price point.
The Find N2 Flip boasts a zero-gap folding design that’s rated to endure double the number of folds compared to Samsung’s alternatives. It also features a notably larger battery with faster charging capabilities, a larger cover display, equivalent flagship performance, and perhaps most notably, a lower starting price.
Equipped with a pair of rear-facing cameras led by a 50MP sensor, the N2 Flip allows users to capture impressive selfies thanks to its spacious 3.26-inch portrait cover display. Furthermore, the device’s 4,300mAh battery ensures it stays powered up for a full day of use, and it recharges rapidly with 44W fast charging.
In addition to offering a more affordable price, Oppo’s inaugural clamshell foldable matches its rival by providing an impressive four years of OS updates and five years of security updates. This certainly makes it a strong contender in the market.
