Editorial Policy
Fold Phone Guide aims to publish accurate, useful, and clearly sourced information for people researching foldable phones and buying options.
Primary Sources Come First
We prefer manufacturer specifications, carrier offer pages, retailer listings, official announcements, and other primary sources whenever they are available.
For topics such as pricing, preorder dates, trade-in values, charging specifications, and carrier requirements, we try to verify claims directly against the original source.
When We Use Secondary Sources
Some questions cannot be answered from official specifications alone. For hands-on observations, early product impressions, durability questions, and similar topics, we may reference reputable publications or documented hands-on reports.
We distinguish reported observations from confirmed manufacturer specifications whenever that difference matters.
We Do Not Pretend to Have Tested Products
We do not describe a product as personally tested, reviewed, or hands-on unless we have actually used that product ourselves.
When a page is based on manufacturer information or third-party hands-on reports, the page should make that clear.
Deal and Trade-In Tracking
Prices, carrier promotions, trade-in values, financing terms, and availability can change quickly.
We only publish specific offer amounts after we can verify the relevant terms. If an offer has not yet been confirmed, we prefer to mark it as pending rather than estimate or reuse terms from a different product.
Updates and Timestamps
We update pages when there is a meaningful change to the information, such as a new carrier offer, revised price, updated preorder status, corrected specification, or stronger source.
We do not change an update date simply to make a page appear fresher when the underlying information has not materially changed.
Corrections
If we find an error, we aim to correct it promptly. When a previously reported detail changes because new official information becomes available, we update the page to reflect the newer evidence.
Commercial Relationships
Fold Phone Guide may use affiliate links or other monetization methods in the future.
If commercial relationships are introduced, they will not determine whether a product, carrier, or retailer is included in our coverage. Relevant disclosures will be added where required.
