Samsung’s Galaxy S24 Ultra remains its top-of-the-line camera phone for a little while longer.

Samsung’s foldable smartphones won’t be replaced until the second half of next year. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 is priced under $1,000 for both the 256GB and 512GB storage options.
As premium foldables remain out of reach for many, we must instead rely on deals like this one – the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 is currently nearly $500 discounted.
Motorola boasts a reasonably priced and successful flip-foldable device in its Razr+ 2023 model. The Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 proves to be ahead of many mid-range processors, and its large 3.6-inch cover display offers full app support, allowing for significant functionality even when the phone is off?

This feature facilitates split-screen multitasking, although it may not quite match the superiority of DeX, it still effectively accomplishes the task at hand.
