Best unlocked folding phones

Top pick: Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8. It's the best all-round unlocked book-style foldable right now — the newest Fold, a big inner screen, dual SIM and full carrier freedom, and the strongest owner ratings of the Folds I found. If you want one foldable to do everything, this is it.

Who the others suit:

• Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra — you want the biggest, most premium Fold and don't mind paying for it.
• Galaxy Z Fold 7 — you'd rather save and still get a proven 8-inch Fold.
• Galaxy Z Flip 8 — you want a pocketable clamshell that folds small; great fun, smaller screen.
• Motorola Razr Ultra (2026) — a stylish flip with a big cover display for less.
• Motorola Razr Fold 2026 — a book-style fold with a huge battery and very bright screen.
• Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold — you care most about camera and clean Android.
• Vivo X Fold6 — a global-version alternative with a massive battery and fast charging.
