Samsung has been the undisputed champion of the foldable phones world for a while now, but one problem neither it nor its rivals have managed to solve is the price – these things are expensive, which is arguably the main reason why foldables aren't selling in big numbers. That might soon change though.
Right now the number one best foldable phone – the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 – starts at $1,799.99 / £1,749 / AU$2,599. The Google Pixel Fold is similarly pricey, and even more ‘budget’ options like the Motorola Razr Plus 2023 will still set you back $999.99 / £1,049.99 / AU$1,499 – and those phones tend to boast disappointing hardware and poor water resistance ratings, making them feel overpriced for what you get.
