If you were paying attention to our best foldable phones list this year, you may have noticed something odd. Our No. 1 choice, the OnePlus Open, has held that spot for over a whole year — a rare sight in a market as fast-moving as smartphones. And especially when some of the biggest names in phones launched brand-new devices this year.
Some of those brands have reasonable excuses for not toppling OnePlus. Honor, Oppo and Xiaomi don't sell in the U.S., for example. But Samsung does, and with the Galaxy Z Fold 6 proving good but not good enough to dethrone OnePlus, it's confirmed something I've thought for a while: Samsung's grip on the foldables market is slipping.
