Foldable phones have been around for a while, which means people are used to seeing large screens that fold on phones. While Samsung emerged as the front-runner in the foldable phone industry, rivals like Motorola, Google, and OnePlus took little time to catch up. The result: there is a foldable phone for every customer in each premium price category.
If you are looking for a foldable or a flip phone, here are the top five options in the market you can check out.
