Starting at around 5,999 yuan (~$835), it is currently exclusive to China, so importing is required elsewhere.
Huawei Pura X
The Huawei Pura X takes a different approach, folding sideways into a wider format.
It has a 6.3-inch inner OLED display with a 16:10 aspect ratio and a 3.5-inch square outer display.
Powered by the Kirin 9020 chip, it offers up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage.
The 4,720mAh battery supports 66W wired and 40W wireless charging, and the phone has an IPX8 rating.

Prices start at around 7,499 yuan (~$1,038). However, Huawei does not officially sell it outside China, so buyers elsewhere would need to import it.
Motorola Razr 70
The standard Motorola Razr 70 shares much of the Ultra's design but costs less. The base model with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage starts at €869 in Europe.
It has a 3.6-inch cover display and a 6.9-inch inner screen.
While performance and camera hardware are reduced compared with the Ultra, it still offers the same clamshell experience.
For those wanting a flip phone from a major brand without flagship pricing, the Razr 70 is the best-value option.
Which Flip Phone Should You Buy?
The best choice depends on your priorities. The Motorola Razr 70 Ultra has the strongest overall hardware, especially in processor and RAM.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8 is ideal for long-term software support with its seven major Android updates.
The Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 stands out for its large battery and Leica cameras.
The Huawei Pura X offers a unique wide folding design, though importing is necessary. Finally, the Motorola Razr 70 is the most affordable option from a major brand.
With fewer clamshell phones launching in 2026, these five cover most of the main choices.

The right one ultimately comes down to whether you value performance, software support, battery life, design, or price.
