Apple plans to launch a clamshell foldable iPhone in 2028, following a 2026 debut of a book-style foldable.

Motorola has launched its new Razr+ and Razr clamshell folding phones, with the Razr+ featuring a 3.5-inch cover display that wraps around the cameras of the phone. However, the large cover screen has resulted in the phone having a last year's chip, average battery life, and an ancient camera. The $1,000 price tag may not be worth it for those who want a phone with the best performance, battery life, and camera. The Motorola Razr+ may have a limited target audience of people specifically interested in an Android folding phone with a large cover display.
