I used the cheapest foldable smartphone in the world — so should I kick my trusty Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 5G to the curb and replace it with Blackview's Hero 10?

Blackview Hero 10.

It’s been just over five years since Samsung announced the first mainstream smartphone with a foldable screen, the original Galaxy Fold. Now a smaller player, Blackview has thrown its hat in the ring with the Hero 10, a rival to the Galaxy Flip series. Is the Blackview Hero 10 a competitor to established smartphone brands? It’s getting there, but we’re still far off from better known players.

Though it's not a household name, Blackview has been around for nearly a decade and we've reviewed more than a dozen of its rugged smartphones, rugged tablets, portable power stations, and, very soon, mini PCs as well. However, there are still well-founded reservations about the reliability and the after-sales services that these far-east companies can deliver.
