Samsung
Samsung's best flip, cover lags

A Hasselblad-camera tribute in phone form — vegan leather, a symmetrical 'master eye' module and a Hexagon-inspired ring. Gorgeous to most, oversized to some, and undeniably heavy.

A refined clamshell with rolled aluminium edges and the alert slider back, but the 3.4-inch FlexWindow cover screen is smaller than Motorola's and durability worries persist.
Oppo Find X9 Ultra
The reason to buy it. A Hasselblad-tuned quad system with the most versatile zoom on any phone, a true 10x optical periscope and an optional 300mm Hasselblad teleconverter. Near-universally praised, with only minor sharpness and ultrawide caveats.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6
A new 50MP main (the same sensor as the Galaxy S24) plus a 12MP ultrawide. A real upgrade for a flip, but no telephoto and weaker than the same-year S24.
Oppo Find X9 Ultra
A genuine highlight: a 7,050mAh silicon-carbon cell that posts some of the best endurance numbers of any 2026 flagship, with fast 100W wired and 50W wireless charging.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6
A 4,000mAh battery (about 10% bigger than the Flip 5) with 25W wired and 15W wireless — better than past Flips but small and slow next to clamshell rivals.
Oppo Find X9 Ultra
ColorOS 16 has matured a lot and is fast and smooth, but it still trails Samsung and Google on AI depth and feels iOS-derived to some — the phone's clearest weak point relative to its hardware.

Galaxy AI plus seven years of updates. The longevity is excellent; the cover-screen software remains the line's frustration.
Oppo Find X9 Ultra
Premium-priced and hard to buy in many markets, but reviewers broadly conclude it out-cameras the S26 Ultra and Pixel and edges the Vivo X300 Ultra on usability.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6
At $1,099 (256GB) it's a $100 hike over the Flip 5, with cheaper, more capable Motorola Razrs as the main pressure.
