If you mean the S24, the equivalent from Sony would be the Xperia 5 V. Has audio jack and sd card compared to the S24, Sony batteries last 2 days even after several years of use thanks to excellent optimization and battery care, there’s almost zero bloat. On the downside it will only get 2 years of upgrades (until the end of 2025). Also you can’t unlock the bootloader on US models if that’s something you care about.
I think the Pixel Fold might be the best option for a foldable phone, because (just like all other Pixels) you can flash it with a private, secure, open-source ROM like GrapheneOS.
Motorola makes the clamshell fold. Seems to be a lot better value as well. Can’t speak to all the bloatware and other anti-consumer shitfuckery because I’ve never seen a reviewer that thinks it’s important.
What are some of the best alternatives? With comparable specs (in the US)?
Right now I have a Fold and honestly really like the foldables. Though I think the Pixel Fold is my only alternative there.

I believe you can purchase the OnePlus Open in the US. It’s listed on their US website and I have heard of people living in the US using it.
