Trust framework

These standards define how FoldCompare documents official sources, separates factual specifications from editorial judgment and corrects material errors.

Source standards

Device facts are checked against official manufacturer and regional product pages. Warranty terms, prices and current availability are treated as time-sensitive regional information.

  • Launch claims are useful context but should not override current regional product pages.
  • Retail pricing should be timestamped because foldable prices move quickly.
  • Software and service notes should identify region-specific limitations whenever possible.

Scoring standards

Scores are editorial judgments. They should reflect buyer impact, not only spec-table intensity, and they should be explained with clear pros, tradeoffs and scenario advice.

  • No paid placement should change a score.
  • No score should be presented as lab-tested unless the testing method is documented.
  • A comparison winner should be tied to a buyer scenario, not framed as universally best.

Corrections and updates

When a device fact changes or a mistake is found, the affected page is updated with a new modified date and verification note. Readers can submit corrections to contact@foldcompare.online.

Editorial commitments

The standards this site should be judged against.

Human-readable limits

Pages identify official-source facts, regional caveats and editorial scoring in plain language.

Commercial separation

Advertising, affiliate programs or brand relationships must be disclosed and should not control editorial conclusions.

No fake testing claims

FoldCompare should not claim hands-on testing, lab results or verified retail prices unless that evidence exists.
