When it comes to thebest foldable phoneson the market, there is one brand who stand above the rest.Samsunghave long held the crown in the market, offering some of the first models and continually updating their range.

Their current flagships – theSamsung Galaxy Z Fold 5and theSamsung Galaxy Z Flip 5– are widely regarded as the top pick for flip phones and book-style foldable handsets. Still, that doesn’t mean they’re not being pushed at every opportunity.

The market has grown exponentially in the last year, with many different brands bringing models to market. That includes handsets like theMotorola Razr 40 Ultraand theOnePlus Open. Now, another has been leaked, which could go toe-to-toe with the big brother of the Samsung foldable range.

The report suggests that the phone could weigh just 220g – lighter than aniPhone 15 Pro Max! It’s also said to be just 5mm thick when unfolded. That’s a really impressive dimension, and should make it effortless to use everyday.

Elsewhere, the handset is expected to pack in theSnapdragon 8 Gen 3processor. That’s the current flagship forAndroid phones, and is expected to be in use on a whole host of devices. Still, it’s good to see it here, and should offer a ton of horsepower for the handset.

Rumours also suggest a handy triple rear camera array could be used. That should make it really useful as a phone, too – not just a pretty face!

That all sounds pretty good, so where’s the downside? Well, unless there is a major break from tradition, it seems unlikely that the handset will see a global launch. Vivo foldable phones have never made it to the UK, so we’re not expecting to see any here this time.
