Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 in Mint color

Whether it's the sales figures collected by research firms, Samsung's own marketing claims, or my own personal anecdotal experience from seeing what phones people use in multiple countries, it's clear the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 was a big hit, and perhaps the first foldable phone to achieve mainstream status instead of being a niche, enthusiast-only device.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 lost its best clamshell foldable crown to the Galaxy Z Flip 5 this year, but that it remains one of the best foldables you can buy in the U.S. It offers a good bang for your buck and is particularly great for those who want to dip their toes in the world of foldable without spending too much money. It brings some nice upgrades under the hood compared to its predecessor, but it's still missing some basics, like a charger in the box. That's right, you'll have to bring your own charger for the Galaxy Z Flip 4 because Samsung doesn't include one in the box. If you don't have a spare charger and are looking to buy a new one, then here are some good options to consider, along with the best cables and some other accessories for the Galaxy Z Flip 4.

Foldable phones are becoming more prevalent as a serious consideration for the average consumer, but up until now, it has been mostly Samsung leading the charge. There have been a ton of different foldables debuting in Asian and European markets, but the competition in North America hasn't been up to par — that is, until now. After a slew of early summer releases, Samsung now has serious threats to its big and small foldables coming from Google, Motorola, and OnePlus. The question is, are those challenges enough to dethrone Samsung as the foldable leader in North America?

While this will most likely be a great addition, Samsung could go even further to make its foldable line more useful, or even more available.
