The best foldable phones of 2025: Expert tested and reviewed

zdnet.com Kerry Wan 2025-11-02 18:00:22

Why we like it: Samsung made an astonishing leap forward in its 2025 foldable phones, which was great to see after several years of iterative designs. The new Z Fold 7 features its thinnest (4.2 mm) and lightest (215 grams) design yet, making the device feel more like a traditional handset when folded, and a super sleek tablet when unfolded. It helps that the Android operating system has been steadily improving for foldables as well. More and more apps are starting to take advantage of the extr

(I sighed a bit, for I knew very few English Lit majors who are equipped to teach me science, but I am very aware of the vast state of
