All You Need To Know About The Recent And Upcoming Foldable Smartphones

Who would have known that after using flip phones in the early 2000s, the world would transcend to QWERTY-keypad phones and touchscreen phones, and now to the era of foldable smartphones? These foldable smartphones are revolutionary and have fluid screen continuity, multiple cameras and major software tweaks. The best part? The foldable phones come packed with every modern feature a smartphone can offer with the convenience of smaller and handier designs.

Some of the best smartphone brands launched their top phones in 2023 while many others are gearing up for releases in the new year. 

Let's take a look at some foldable smartphones, their features and specifications

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4

Its AMOLED display offers you an immersive viewing experience, whether you are a movie buff or love gaming on your smartphone. The screen can accommodate 3-4 apps at one go and folds towards the inside like a book.

What's more, the foldable mobile phone works on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 Processor that promises top-notch performance and speed. You can also enjoy 12GB of internal RAM and a storage capacity of 256GB in the base model, expanding to a whopping 512GB as you upgrade. The 4400 mAh battery with fast charging of 0-50% in 35 minutes and triple cameras with ultra-wide features make it one of the best phones of 2023.  

Oppo Find N

Oppo has entered the foldable mobile market with a bang. Reasonable than its competitors, Oppo Find N packs powerful features, a stylish design, and an amazing camera experience in this foldable smartphone. Its 5.49-inch cover screen has an aspect ratio of 18:9, which stretches to a ratio of 8.4:9 on the 7.1-inch main screen. 

Both screens feature an exceptional display with a refresh rate of 120Hz on the main screen. When compared to the competitors, this phone comes with an in-built ambient sensor on the inner display and high brightness. What makes it stand apart is the camera quality, with 5 cameras and a 4K UHD recording feature. So, if you're in the market for a relatively lower-priced foldable phone with great performance, this is a must-buy.

Huawei Mate X 

Keeping up with the competition, Huawei released one of its own best phones. The Huawei Mate X folds in the opposite direction when compared to the Galaxy Fold. This was a great move by Huawei, as you get a full-screen view on all eight inches of the smartphone whether the smartphone is open or closed. It's powered by Huawei's Kirin 980 chipset and offers 5G connectivity. It has a triple-camera setup (40MP+16MP+8MP) and a 4,500mAh battery for longer usage. The phone is expected to be priced at around Rs. 1,85,000 and be launched in January 2020.
