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.
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.
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.
