What the reviewers said

The Verge

8/10Jun 15, 2026

An impressive, complete foldable whose hardware gains are incremental, with the bigger battery the only clearly meaningful upgrade and MagicOS holding it back.

  • Two-day battery life from 6,660mAh cell
  • IP69 dust and water resistance, first for a foldable
  • Thinnest foldable, 4mm open and 8.75mm folded
  • Seven years of OS and security updates
  • Triple camera is strong for a foldable
  • MagicOS is noisy and frustrating to use
  • Crease more visible than Oppo's nearly invisible one
  • Camera trails top slab phones in light and color
  • Fragile hinge and soft inner screen; hard to case
  • Limited repair and support outside China

Digital Trends

9/10Jun 14, 2026

A highly complete large foldable with excellent screens, battery, and cameras, though performance is capped in balanced mode and the crease remains.

  • Ultra-thin design with IP68 and IP69 ratings
  • Excellent inner and cover screens with anti-reflective coating
  • Class-leading battery life with fast wired and wireless charging
  • Best-in-class rear camera system for a large foldable
  • MagicOS 10 polished and useful for multitasking
  • Performance capped in Balanced mode
  • Thermal throttling in Performance mode under sustained load
  • Crease remains; no zero-crease display
  • Large camera bump makes phone top-heavy
  • Import route required in most regions

8.2/10Jun 10, 2026

A hardware-strong, thin foldable with excellent battery life, held back by unpolished software and UI design that falls short of flagship standards.

  • Outstanding battery life, about 30 hours in video rundown
  • Durable build with IP68/IP69 water and dust resistance
  • Thin, comfortable foldable that feels as slim as a regular phone
  • Very fast Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 performance for gaming
  • Good Mac integration including file transfer and secondary display
  • Software and UI need more polish
  • MagicOS can feel fussy on the primary display
  • AI photography and portrait mode edges look overdone
  • Cover screen is taller than the reviewer would like
  • Companion app design looks sloppy

Verdicts, pros and cons are short summaries in our words of each publisher's review; scores are as the publisher gave them. Specs are taken from the reviews' spec boxes — where they differ, we show the value most of them give; price is the US launch price of the base model. Read the originals for the full picture.
