My top 5 phones of 2025 - George
"I have no use for a foldable. I've tried living with a clamshell and I've dabbled into phone-turns-tablet territory and neither makes any sense in my world. My phone is mostly used for doomscrolling and instant messaging, and I want me some state-of-the-art cameras (not so much for actual photography, but rather for the confidence of having them just in case I might need them) - neither bendy form factor is optimal for that combination."
"But, just because I'm an old soul that does online shopping or other important stuff like travel plans on a PC and watches movies (rare as that may be) on an actual TV, doesn't mean everyone is like me. The Galaxy Z TriFold is a phone when it needs to be, and a tablet - a larger and more sensibly proportioned one than the rest of them Folds - when extra screen area is called for."
"Yes, the Z TriFold is wildly expensive and its cameras would be considered little more than so-so on a midrange conventional phone, let alone one that goes for, what is it, €3,000? But it's about priorities. While the ones that the Z TriFold addresses may be entirely foreign to me, I can still appreciate it taking the foldable form factor a fold further."
Finding five phones to really like in a year — in 2025 and in this line of work — is no trivial task. The Top 5 list blends one personal pick, a couple of crowdsourced choices, and two traditional inclusions. Some users have little use for foldables, preferring phones for doomscrolling, instant messaging, and high-end cameras for confidence rather than serious photography. The Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold converts between phone and larger tablet, offers better flexible-display protection than competing tri-folds, and emphasizes extra screen area. The tri-fold carries a very high price and middling camera performance relative to cost, yet represents further foldable innovation.
