What's different from other foldables
- Both displays share the same aspect ratio, so apps don't reflow into odd shapes.
- A hidden FaceTime camera sits beneath the inner display.
- iOS 27 is adapted for folding, with a corner status bar and a vertical Dynamic Island.
- Apple names Netflix, Zoom and Slack as apps already optimized.

How we researched this
This is a research-based review, not a hands-on test. We did not have these phones in hand. We compared the official specification pages from Apple, Google and Samsung with launch coverage and published reviews from established outlets, and we list every source below. Where sources disagree we say so. Battery and camera claims are the makers' own figures unless we name an independent reviewer. Prices are US launch prices from the official pages and can differ at carriers and retailers.
