We cared about the Galaxy Fold for precisely three days last February. Then the Mate X arrived and made the Fold look incredibly ugly by comparison. Little did we know at the time that neither model would see a widespread launch, and that it would be months before they would end up hitting stores. The Fold came with a few glaring design issues that caused the phones to start breaking within hours of arriving with early reviewers. But you’d be better off steering clear of the redesigned version as well. The Mate X was delayed as well, and Huawei’s troubles with the US ban further hurt its chances of seeing a successful launch worldwide. Then the Motorola Razr came, trying to lure people in with a more affordable price tag, but it turns out that the Razr might have durability issues of its own.
A year later, Samsung launched a brand new foldable phone bearing a new name that’s not stained by the Fold’s inadequacies. The Z Flip features a breakthrough innovation that turns the handset into the new benchmark for foldable phones. Not to mention that it effectively kills the new Razr in the process.
