A capable, stylish flip phone with a fast chip and strong battery and cameras, held back by weak displays, overheating, short update promise and a high price. Best for enthusiasts…
Motorola's latest flip phone remains the best of its kind, with a bigger battery, a stronger hinge and a bright outer screen, though software support is short and the price…
Hinge crease barely visible and hinge feels more robust
Large, usable 4-inch outer screen
Bigger 4700 mAh battery lasts a full workday
Bright 4500-nit inner display
Fast Snapdragon 8 Elite performance
Software updates promised for a relatively short period
A largely familiar premium flip phone with better screens and battery life, but the optical telephoto was swapped for an ultrawide, and the price rose.
Bright, color-accurate 7-inch inner screen with 1.5K resolution
The best folding flip phone available, with stunning design, excellent displays and performance, though pricey with a short update promise and no telephoto.
Stunning, robust design with wood and Alcantara finishes
Large, high-quality cover and internal displays
Top-tier Snapdragon 8 Elite performance
Excellent battery life
Useful cover screen and fast power-button fingerprint sensor
No telephoto camera
Only three years of OS and four years of security updates
