Samsung's foldable phones have evolved a lot over the years, and they're no longer just an expensive experiment. Both Galaxy Z Fold 4 and the Galaxy Z Flip 4 are two of the best foldable phones you can buy in the United States right now. That, however, doesn't mean they're flawless devices, as Samsung left the door for plenty of improvements. They're both easy to recommend compared to many others out there, but almost all of us here at XDA agreed that they were at least a generation shy of truly hitting their stride. 2023 is shaping up to be one of the biggest years for foldables, and we've already seen some big releases like the Pixel Fold and the Moto Razr+.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 is one of the best foldable phones available and a sizable investment. Even if you find a good Galaxy Z Flip 4 deal, you’re still spending a pretty penny on this foldable phone. It’s smart to protect your new foldable phone with one of the best Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 cases to extend the longevity of your smartphone. These cases range from hard and protective rugged cases that can withstand drops from up to 10 feet to stylish leather cases that can help prevent scuffing and scratching. Although Samsung strengthened the durability from the previous generation to the Flip 4, it is still more fragile compared to candy bar style smartphones like your iPhones or Galaxy S line of phones.

Foldable phones are becoming more prevalent as a serious consideration for the average consumer in 2023, but up until now, it has been mostly Samsung leading the charge. There have been a ton of different foldables debuting in Asian and European markets, but the level of competing in the North American market hasn't been up to par. That is, until now. After a slew of early summer releases, Samsung now has serious threats to its big and small foldables coming from Google and Motorola, respectively. The question is, are those challenges enough to dethrone Samsung as the leader in foldable smartphones in North America?

If you wanted a modern take on the venerable flip phone, for the longest time, the only choice was the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip.

Now other manufacturers are catching up, including Motorola, who created the first flip phones all those years ago. The Moto Razr+ is the latest flagship clamshell foldable from the company, and it’s a doozy. Both of these are among the best foldable phones on the market, but which one is best for you? We’ll break down what you need to know to decide between these foldable clamshells.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 remains one of the best foldables you can buy in the U.S. right now. It offers a good bang for your buck and is particularly great for those who want to dip their toes in the world of foldable without spending too much money. It brings some nice upgrades under the hood compared to its predecessor, but it's still missing some basics, like a charger in the box.

Motorola’s parent company Lenovo confirmed earlier this year that a new Razr flip-phone is in the works, but according to leaks, there is another model on the cards. The Razr Lite 2023 is apparently a more affordable phone with a similar clam-shell design to the already-leaked Razr Plus 2023, and it looks even more like the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4.

The Galaxy S23 and the Galaxy Z Flip 4 are two of the best Samsung phones you can buy right now. Both phones, however, have some significant differences, especially in terms of the form factor, so you may lean towards one or the other depending on your preference. The Galaxy S23 is a regular flagship with a conventional glass slab design, whereas the Galaxy Z Flip 4 is a foldable phone that has improved a lot over the past few iterations. But there's more to the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 comparison than the form factor, so let's see how these phones stack up against each other.

Samsung has rolled out its Android 13 update to many phones and tablets, branded as One UI 5.0, but the Korean OEM introduced a minor revision with the Galaxy S23 series. The One UI 5.1 update was hinted to arrive on select phones and tablets, but the company didn't specify any official roadmap.

Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold series may technically be the South Korean tech giant's most premium smartphone, but it's the Galaxy Z Flip series that's become a breakout hit as of late, thanks to its lower price, sleeker form, and clamshell form factor that arguably has wider mainstream appeal.
