There was a time when we thought foldable devices were a technology that may take decades to get to. Heck, some people thought we’d never see such devices at all. At the same time, we have had some curved glass devices; folding that glass seemed undoable.

When I initially sat down to try and put my thoughts together for this review, I was going to take the “traditional” approach. But since the Galaxy Z Fold 3 has already been available a few weeks, that’s kind of the boring approach.

Slimmer and lighter than the Z Fold 2, Having a foldable phone is still an incredible feeling, S Pen support was a necessary and welcome addition, Phantom Black is the best color on a smartphone

Battery life is still horrible., Cameras are good but not great, The crease is annoying when using the S Pen

The Galaxy Z Fold3 is the best argument that can be made for this form factor. If you have the money to own it, this is a magical device.

IPX8 water-resistant, Most durable foldable device on the market, Stunning Design

Battery life is still not consistent, Still very expensive

While it's a shame that picture and sound quality haven't been upgraded, the iPhone 13 was great in these regards and the iPhone 14 is, too Excellent display Admirable headphone performance Solid build quality No upgrades to picture or sound Familiar design Notch is still present

The Apple iPhone 14 is no match for the just-released iPhone 14 Pro, but if you ignore that, it’s one of the most effective phones around.

Great cameras, front and back, Fast performance, Good battery life, Innovative safety features

Design too familiar, Some average features

The iPhone 14 isn’t much of an upgrade over the iPhone 13, but it’s still a great device and an upgrade for anyone coming from the iPhone 11 or older.

Great camera, Good battery, Emergency features are cool, Still excellent performance

Display could use some upgrades
