1. Motorola Razr 2022
A veteran maker of flip phones, Motorola has given the latest Razr a full 6.7in screen, and a useful 2.7in one on the front case. It’s streamlined and compact, and even when folded its cameras work to find the best angles for video calls and more.

2. Samsung Galaxy Flip4
Bearing more resemblance to the early flip phones we all remember, the Flip4 has the advantage of being very compact. It has a small 1.9in screen on the outside, a wide-angle camera and fun colour options.
3. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4
Opening up like a book, the Fold4 gets a lot of good press. It has a huge 7.6in screen (and an extra 6.2in one on the case exterior), with a handy three-app view option that will be useful for anyone who needs to multitask.
4. Astro Slide 5G
With the advent of flexi-working has come the Astro Slide, a tiny phone-computer hybrid made by Planet Computers. It won’t replace your laptop, but the backlit QWERTY keyboard that slides out next to the 6.39in screen will allow you to work on the go.
5. Huawei Mate Xs 2
A solid competitor for the Fold4, this Huawei model has a double rotating-hinge design making it particularly sleek when folded. Opened up, it has a 7.8in screen, an anti-reflection screen for use in sunlight and a top-notch camera.
