Foldable phones like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold and Motorola Razr have turned heads—but are they just flashy gimmicks, or do they signal the future of mobile?

These devices aim to blend the portability of a phone with the utility of a tablet, offering bigger screens without bigger pockets. Ideal for multitasking, gaming, or watching content on the go.

Early versions had issues—fragile screens, clunky designs, and high price tags. But new generations are becoming more durable, sleeker, and even water-resistant.

Still, the tech remains a luxury. Prices are high and app support isn’t perfect. Yet, as foldable screens get cheaper and better, we could see them go mainstream within a few years.

The verdict? Not quite essential yet—but they’re definitely more than a fad.
