These are the kinds of folding phones we could have if Samsung had any competition in the US.
Oppo just announced its new Fold N 2, a Galaxy Z Fold-style folding phone that is once again only for the Chinese market.
It beats Samsung’s Fold 4 in a number of ways: it’s lighter, the outer screen is wider, the whole package is smaller, and there’s no gap when you fold it closed. It even has a faux leather finish on the back to make it less slippery, which I had to replicate with a dbrand skin on my Fold 4. The Fold 4 does offer IP water resistance and compatibility with Samsung’s S Pen, neither of which you can get on the Oppo.
Maybe someday someone will try to compete with Samsung on folding phones in the US. Is it you, Google?
