You will find information on all other folding phones from various brands here.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G is the company's third foldable phone, and it's a step up from its predecessors. The phone has a 7.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2x display with a resolution of 2208 x 1768 pixels and a refresh rate of 120Hz. This display, known as the Infinity Flex Display, folds in half to reveal a 6.2-inch screen. That cover panel is big enough to use as a phone. When you turn on the phone, you'll see OneUI 3.1, which is based on Android 11 and includes custom software tweaks. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC is paired with 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 512GB of UFS 3.1 storage in the phone. The battery capacity of the Galaxy Z Fold 3 is 4,400mAh.

Oppo Find N

The Oppo Find N features a 5.49-inch display with an 18:9 aspect ratio and a 60Hz refresh rate. In its unfolded state, the main screen, dubbed the Serene Display by Oppo, measures 7.1 inches and has an aspect ratio of 8.4:9. It is, however, an LTPO panel with a refresh rate of up to 120Hz. Apart from that, Oppo claims that both of these screens are color and brightness calibrated. In addition, the inner display has an in-built ambient sensor that provides 10,240 automatic brightness levels and a maximum brightness of 1000 nits. The Find N display is a 12-layer structure with 0.03mm Ultra Thin Glass (UTG) on top, as it is a folding handset. Not only that but Corning Gorilla Glass Victus protection is included.

Thanks to an in-house engineered Flexion Hinge with 136 individual parts, it has up to 80% less crease than some other foldable phones. This mechanical joint allows for clamshell and FlexForm form factors between 50 and 120 degrees. It can also be closed with a satisfactory clasp that only leaves a 0.01mm gap.

Xiaomi Mi MIX Fold

Xiaomi's Mi MIX Fold, like the Galaxy Fold 2 and Mate X2, has an inward folding design. A flexible AMOLED panel with WQHD+ resolution (2480 x 1860), 60Hz refresh rate, 120Hz touch sampling rate, 600 nits peak brightness, Dolby Vision, and HDR10+ is housed inside. A 6.5-inch AMOLED screen with 2520 x 840 resolution, 90Hz refresh rate, 180Hz touch sampling rate, 900 nits peak brightness, and HDR 10+ support can be found on the front.

A 108MP main camera with 3x optical zoom and close-up macros (3cm), quad-speakers, a 5020mAh battery, a 67W turbocharger, up to 16GB LPDDR5 RAM, 512GB UFS 3.1 storage, and the flagship Snapdragon 888 are among the other highlights.
