Foldable phones have come a long way from their early days of thick bodies, visible creases, and questionable durability. In 2026, they’re finally living up to the promise: sleek, powerful, and packed with smart features. Whether you’re eyeing a compact clamshell or a multitasking book-style foldable, there are some compelling choices on the market right now. Here's our curated list of the best foldable phones currently available in Singapore.
Top Clamshell Foldables
Xiaomi Mix Flip – 12GB RAM / 512GB Storage (S$1,259, U.P. S$1,499, 16% off)
Xiaomi’s first entry into the clamshell foldable space is impressive. The Mix Flip boasts a solid aluminium build and Xiaomi Shield Glass for durability, along with a vibrant display and Leica-tuned camera system. It runs on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, offering smooth performance. The 67W fast charging is a bonus, though it lacks an official IP rating, and the external display isn’t the most user-friendly.
Display: Inner 6.86", Cover 4.01", 120Hz
Resolution: Inner 2,520 × 1,080, Cover 1,048 × 948
Battery: 4,780 mAh, 67W wired charging
Processor: Snapdragon 8 Gen 3
Other: No IP rating
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 – 12GB RAM / 512GB Storage (S$1,478, U.P. S$1,828, 19% off)
The Flip 7 is thinner and flatter than ever, making it one of the most portable foldables. Samsung expanded the cover screen, so you can check messages or take selfies without unfolding. Inside, you get a 6.9-inch AMOLED display and a 50MP main camera, with the phone powered by Samsung’s Galaxy AI tools like real-time translation and on-device editing. Battery life is decent but not industry-leading, and it’s rated IP48 – good for water but not dust.
Display: Inner 6.9", Cover 4.1", HDR10+, 120Hz
Resolution: Inner 2,520 × 1,080, Cover 1,048 × 948
Battery: 4,300 mAh, 25W wired, 15W wireless
Processor: Exynos 2500
Other: IP48 water resistance
Top Book-Style Foldables
Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold – 16GB RAM / 256GB Storage (S$2,009, U.P. S$2,399, 16% off)
Google’s latest foldable feels polished. The Pixel 9 Pro Fold is slimmer than its predecessor, folds flat, and delivers a clean Android experience on an 8-inch OLED screen. Powered by the Tensor G4 chip, it shines in AI-powered features like photo editing and voice translation. Downsides? Slower charging speeds and incompatibility with the Pixel Stand due to coil placement.
Display: Inner 8", Cover 6.3", 120Hz
Resolution: Inner 2,440 × 2,240, Cover 2,440 × 1,080
Battery: 4,650 mAh, 21W wired, 7.5W wireless
Processor: Tensor G4
Other: IPX8 water resistance
Huawei Mate X6 – 12GB RAM / 512GB Storage (S$2,048, U.P. S$2,598, 21% off)
Huawei’s Mate X6 leans into luxury, with a vegan leather back, slim profile, and robust specs. It sports top-tier cameras tuned by Leica, and the main sensor uses a variable aperture for better low-light shots. With Kunlun Glass and IPX8 water resistance, durability is up there too. The biggest drawback? No native Google apps – you’ll need to use Huawei’s alternatives or third-party solutions.
Display: Inner 7.93", Cover 6.45", 120Hz
Resolution: Inner 2,440 × 2,240, Cover 2,440 × 1,080
Battery: 5,110 mAh, 66W wired, 50W wireless
Processor: Kirin 9020
Other: IPX8 water resistance
