The 5 best foldable phones of 2023
Tech specs: Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 | Main Display: 7.8 inches, 2200×2480 pixels | RAM/Storage: 8GB/12GB RAM with 256GB/512GB internal options | Cameras: 13MP ultra-wide, 50MP wide-angle, 8MP 3x telephoto, 10.7MP front | Battery: 4,880mAh
Huawei’s first big foldables, the Mate X and XS, were interesting in that they incorporated a foldable form factor with displays opposite of what Samsung tried with the Z Fold. Instead of folding inward, the displays expanded outward (like a 2-in-1 laptop) and were always exposed, but looked amazing. Fast forward to today, the latest Huawei Mate Xs 2 builds on that premise with a new Falcon Wing design.
The Mate Xs 2 is clearly a direct competitor to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 and it certainly edges out the Galaxy in a few areas. For one, the main, large screen spans 7.8-inches diagonally, with a PPI of 424. It’s a high-resolution panel that, get this, has no noticeable crease, a problem that has plagued Galaxy foldables since the very beginning. The Mate Xs 2 also sees a larger 4,880mAh battery for better endurance.
