Let's stipulate something up front — we need to have more inexpensive foldable phones for people to choose from when they're deciding which device to upgrade to. A foldable handset gives us the luxury of a bigger screen that's easier to tote around. And if the prices of those devices drop, it widens the potential audience for foldables.
Right now, that's not happening. If you want to buy a foldable phone for less than $1,000, you're pretty much stuck with one style of device — the foldable flip phone — from one phone maker. That's no knock on either the $999 Motorola Razr Plus (2024) or the $699 Motorola Razr (2024), which both rank among the best foldable phones available. But they could use some comparatively priced competition, and shoppers could use more choices.
