The truth is that just like colleagues Android Authority They revealed, Folding mobile phones generate admiration and skepticism alikeSomething that will likely begin to fade in 2024 thanks to mass arrivals Choose from different options and more varietyBoth brands, formats and prices.
So, far from expecting Motorola-like concepts and surprises from MWC 2024, what is expected is Finally Xiaomi, OPPO, vivo and other Chinese manufacturersWhich we believe is at or above Samsung’s level of foldable phone construction.

We’ll see if OPPO doesn’t regret it in the end, but it won’t be because of prejudice The Chinese company skipped number 4 directly To avoid mysterious problems.
For Samsung, obviously we will see in the summer Galaxy Z Fold6 and Galaxy Z Flip6 Of which we’ve long heard rumors, the models that will have their counterparts in China W25 y W25 flip Keeping high expectations and new features that will be included. They say the same Samsung may be working on a cheaper modelBut there is still no information about this and the South Koreans have actively and passively denied it.
As for the OnePlus, which is the most attractive foldable on the market right now for my taste, We will see its successor with a OnePlus Open 2 that will try to maintain the level With a design and features that, according to sources, may have many synergies with the OPPO Find N5.
Xiaomi It also has surprises, because Your foldables will undoubtedly be well received An unmatched in our market, for the extremely fine design and options that many cases Above Samsung models At least when it comes to mobile photography. Thus they tell us about one Mix the folds 4 Which will be international, and which will only be accompanied by a small mix flip in China that won’t make the jump for now.
Vivo also wants to compete with the big and Finally, Vivo will launch the X Fold 3 globally One of the thinnest, lightest and most comfortable folding products in existence with a highly efficient camera system and BBK electronics technology. Reduce bending of flexible panels and thus improve the user experience.
And in this list we have some countless left, well Google will apparently update the Pixel Fold with the second iteration Of which for now we have seen some ideas, when Motorola will also enter the battle With the new RAZR and, let’s hope they dare, with some commercial version of the model they showed mobile phone In Barcelona.
