- Escobar Fold phones are supposed to be affordable, high-end foldable handsets, made by a company managed by the infamous Escobar family.
- The foldable phones, however, aren’t original devices or knock-offs. They’re handsets from other companies, like the Galaxy Fold made by Samsung, likely used to scam unsuspecting users.
- Well-known tech reviewer Marques Brownlee (MKBHD) explains exactly what’s going on in a new video, proving the Escobar Fold 2 is actually a Galaxy Fold covered with a gold sticker.

Foldable phones might be the future, but it’ll be a while longer until smartphone makers can deliver durable and affordable foldable handsets. The Galaxy Z Flip that Samsung just launched is better built than its ill-fated predecessor, the Galaxy Fold, and a lot more affordable. But it’s still a handset you have to handle with care to prevent damage. So if you see any promise of an affordable foldable phone, that also happens to look good and pack high-end specs, you better run for the hills. Nobody can produce such devices, especially not a company that’s associated with the Escobar family. We’ve shown you two Escobar foldable phones so far, including the Escobar Fold 1 and Fold 2, and we advised against buying any of them, no matter how great those offers sounded like. If you’re still unconvinced, you should check out Marques Brownlee’s “review” of the Fold 2, which happens to be precisely the kind of phone you thought it was, a poorly disguised Galaxy Fold.
