It’s been just under six years since the first Galaxy Fold launched, and in the time since then, foldable phones have become among the most interesting in the Android world. I’ve personally tested and reviewed many of them, including models from Samsung, Google, OnePlus, and others.
But as much as I appreciate what foldables offer, and as someone who’s been reviewing phones for 10 years, I’ve yet to actually purchase one for myself. Why? One of the main things that’s kept me away is the hardware. Foldable phones have gotten significantly thinner and lighter since the first Galaxy Fold, but many of them are still bulkier than what I’m comfortable carrying every day.
