One year later with the Galaxy Z Fold 6: I'm praying Samsung fixes these 3 shortcomings

Prakhar Khanna/ZDNET It's not a hot take to say that Samsung hasn't changed the core design of its Galaxy Z Fold series since day one. While the cover screen has grown over time, the overall candy bar-style form factor has remained mostly untouched. While brands like Honor, Vivo, and Google have released slimmer foldables, Samsung has stuck to steady, incremental upgrades, resulting in a sturdy hinge that holds at almost any angle and polished software for productivity.

TL;DR Vivo has launched the X Fold 5 foldable phone in China. This is the world’s lightest book-style foldable phone, but it still has a 6,000mAh battery and IP5X/IPX8/IPX9 ratings.

We Need a Clamshell iPhone Now That Android Has Figured Out Foldables

Foldables are far more brittle than traditional phones, and that’s a problem when you’re spending between $1,800 and $2,000 on a single device. Finally, in 2025, the flip-out, tablet-style, foldable phone may get the remodel it needed to stick it out with cheaper devices. New leaks suggest the next Google Pixel foldable will be able to better survive a mote of dust. Samsung’s next Z Fold 7 “Ultra” may have similar staying power when we finally get to see it on July 9.

Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold could be one of the first foldables with an IP68 rating

TL;DR The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is said to sport a smaller hinge. The outer display may be bigger than last year, despite the device being roughly the same size. Google’s foldable could have an IP68 rating. As other brands race to make the thinnest foldable on the market, there haven’t really been any hints that Google is chasing after the same goal. Even if Google may not be interested in claiming the title of world’s thinnest, it seems we can still expect the Pixel 10 Pro Fold to be a bit slimm

Foldable phones like the Pixel 9 Pro Fold and Oppo Find N5 have redefined smartphone design. But ultimately, what most people just want to know: How good are the cameras? I snapped photos on both book-style foldables to see how the cameras stack up. Each phone had its strengths, from sharpness to texture to life-like colors, and they took turns claiming the "winner" title. In general, you won't find the best phone cameras on foldables because of their design. A thinner phone calls for a smalle
