Foldables remain a tough sell, but this iPhone Duo alternative gets our readers’ vote

$2,000 is a lot to spend on anything nowadays, let alone a smartphone, but a foldable phone certainly demands this much from consumers. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 and the iPhone Duo are two examples of the pinnacle of the smartphone price band, with both devices flirting with the double-grand mark.

The iPhone Duo has attractive perks, from its unique iOS and hardware integration that enables various visual flourishes to its support for the Apple Pencil stylus — something Samsung ripped away from its Z Fold series.
