Weekly poll: are you ready to buy your first foldable? And which way will it bend?

Many manufacturers have entered the foldable market, so it finally feels like there are plenty of options available. Foldables aren’t cheap yet, we’re still a few years out, but there’s competition out there, which will help bring the prices down and polish the rough edges of the early models.

Honor announced the start of the global Magic V rollout at MWC, the Oppo Find N2 Flip went global in February, Tecno unveiled its first foldable, the Phantom V Fold, OnePlus confirmed it was working on a foldable, Realme teases its own plan, Google will eventually stop delaying the release of the Pixel Fold and so on. Of course, there are also the perpetual rumors of a foldable Apple.

Even though Samsung still dominates the market, things are starting to change. There is competition even now and it will heat up considerably before the end of 2023.

In the previous poll, we grouped all foldables together, but we think most of you are only interested in one form factor – horizontal or vertical? Most manufacturers have focused on larger horizontal phones, like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4, Honor Magic Vs, Oppo Find N2, Tecno Phantom V Fold, vivo X Fold+ and Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 (and Huawei’s phones too) .

Flip foldables are still fairly rare, although the Galaxy Z Flip4 and Motorola Razr 2022 are no longer alone. There’s the Find N2 Flip, plus vivo and OnePlus are reportedly working on vertical foldables alongside horizontal ones. It’s unclear which direction Realme will go, but Samsung will definitely release one of each.

Note that Apple’s first foldable would be a tablet rather than a phone. This market is relatively unexplored unless you rely on foldable laptops like the ThinkPad and Zenbook (but even then such devices are rare).

So which form factor do you prefer? Assuming you gave an upvote in the poll above, of course. Vote below or using this page.
