Samsung pioneered the modern flip phone with its Galaxy Z Flip series, and the Z Flip6 continues to lead the pack. It features a larger 3.4” Flex Window on the outside, allowing you to reply to messages, take selfies, and control music without opening the phone. Inside, it unfolds into a full-sized 6.7” AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, delivering smooth and vibrant visuals.
Performance is driven by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, ensuring fast and efficient multitasking. The Z Flip6 is also IP48 water-resistant — a rare feature among foldables. Its camera setup, while not flagship-grade, is more than capable for everyday photography.
Price in Malaysia: RM3,999 onwards
The OPPO Find N3 Flip is gaining popularity quickly among Malaysians who prioritise photography. It features a triple-camera setup (50MP wide, 48MP ultra-wide, 32MP telephoto) co-engineered with Hasselblad — a first for flip phones. This gives it a strong edge for portrait and night shots.
The Find N3 Flip also boasts a vertical 3.26” cover screen with full app support — ideal for quick replies and previews. The hinge feels solid, and the fold is barely noticeable. Battery life is reliable, with 44W SUPERVOOC fast charging included in the box.

Xiaomi’s first clamshell-style foldable, the Mix Flip 5G, is making waves with its stunning 4.01” edge-to-edge AMOLED cover screen — one of the largest and most functional in any flip phone. You can run full apps like YouTube, WhatsApp, and Google Maps without unfolding, making it one of the most versatile devices for on-the-go multitasking.
Under the hood, it’s powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, paired with 12GB RAM and 512GB storage — matching or even exceeding some flagship bar phones. The camera setup is co-engineered with Leica and features dual 50MP rear sensors, including a telephoto lens for crisp 2x zoom and portrait shots. With a generous 4,780mAh battery and 67W fast charging, the Xiaomi Mix Flip easily lasts a full day and charges rapidly.
Both the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 and Xiaomi Mix Flip 5G are available with CelcomDigi’s Easy360, giving you access to the latest foldables on Malaysia’s trusted mobile network.
