Foldable

Vivo is currently said to have an "X Fold S", or a mid-year refresh of its existing 2022 foldable flagship smartphone, in the works. Now, a famous leaker asserts that this variant is indeed on the way, and with an increased battery size compared to its immediate predecessor. It may also rock a color option not seen in the original LTPO OLED device.

Huawei is slowly expanding availability for the Mate Xs 2, its latest foldable smartphone. Having been available in the Eurozone since June, the company has announced its introduction in the UK, along with its launch pricing. The company has confirmed that it will offer a healthy pre-order bonus too, worth £299.99.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 5G only arrived earlier this month. However, PBKreviews has already published its teardown video in which it showcases what changes Samsung has made from last year's Galaxy Z Flip3. Unsurprisingly, the Galaxy Z Flip4 is an evolution of the Galaxy Z Flip3, not a revolution from the popular foldable smartphone.

It might have come as a surprise to some when Huawei introduced the Mate Xs 2 in place of the Mate X3, a device thought to have a design much more like that of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4, in 2022. However, according to the latest tip, the latter is on the way after all, as a more durable and affordable foldable phablet than ever before. It might launch alongside inaugural variants and new TWS earbuds during a very late-year event.

With its Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 processor, 144Hz OLED display and 50MP main rear camera, the Moto Razr 2022 might prove a vast improvement over its 5G predecessor. A new video, in which one of these new clamshell Android units is disassembled, highlights the new front panel and hinge design that could also solve some problems linked to older Motorola foldable smartphones.

The Honor Magic V is an early-2022 Android flagship phablet that launched with a battery capacity greater even than that of the new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4.

Motorola launched the Moto Razr 2022 a few days ago in China, as a direct rival to Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip4. The premium foldable went on sale shortly after, and the company has now revealed an initial sales milestone that indicates demand for the Moto Razr 2022 in its home market.

Xiaomi has made the Mix Fold 2 official today (August 11, 2022), albeit for the Chinese market only. Nevertheless, the premium device has the potential to become a vast improvement over its predecessor, with form-factor tweaks that might also help it take on the likes of the equally new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4. It has also landed as the world's latest Leica-branded flexible-display device.

After months of relentless leaks, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 is official with a design that has remained largely unchanged. The device is IPX8 certified, boasts the latest Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, and comes with 12 GB LPDDR5 memory with up to 1 TB of UFS 3.1 storage.

Samsung is on track to launch its latest top-end foldable devices during the major Unpacked event of today (August 10, 2022).

Considering the new clamshell's specs, the starting price in question has the potential to blow its Flip4 rival out of the water.

Digital Chat Station has shared more details about the Pixel Fold, a device that the leaker previously mentioned in the same breath as the Pixel 7 Ultra.

According to the leaker, Google will include a camera within the Pixel Fold's frame to preserve display image quality.

Xiaomi has previewed the MIX Fold 2, its next-generation foldable smartphone that will arrive a day after the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold4. Sporting a similar design, the MIX Fold 2 will be noticeably thinner than the Galaxy Z Fold4, even more so than the Surface Duo 2. Better still, the MIX Fold 2 will launch with Leica-tuned cameras too, the fourth smartphone to do so since Xiaomi and Leica announced their collaboration.

Camera specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold4 have emerged ahead of Samsung's next Galaxy Unpacked event.

Hands-on photos of the Galaxy Z Fold4 and Galaxy Z Flip4 have leaked online just a few days before their official introduction.
