Affordable Samsung A70

The Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold decisively maintains the Pixel 9’s proven design, making differentiation difficult at first glance. As a book-style foldable phone, it focuses on reliability and ease of use, with the faster Tensor G5 chipset ensuring seamless support for the latest software features. Its clean, stock Android experience prioritises simplicity, fluid app continuity, and intuitive multitasking capabilities. Its larger, more powerful battery guarantees a full day of operation, even though it increases the phone's heft. With an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance, it also delivers strong screen durability and hinge protection, key concerns in any foldable phone buying guide.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is far slimmer, on par with many of the latest non-foldable smartphones, and also significantly lighter. Its standout feature is the 200MP main camera for ultra-sharp photos, but it goes further with productivity features that rival tablets. Running One UI, Samsung’s custom Android skin, it enables advanced multitasking capabilities such as multi-window use, app continuity between folded and unfolded modes, and Samsung DeX for a desktop-like experience. If it has a drawback, it’s that the slim chassis leaves limited room for thermal controls, which can slightly impact performance in demanding applications
