Well, as promised, we are talking foldable this week. The excitement is palpable, and it looks like the rest of our mod team have already started the conversation here. Go check it out.

I honestly don’t know very much about foldable phones, so I’ll let the rest of our (very smart and knowledgeable) mod team handle this one this week. :)

Last thing for future reference at the end of the week, we also have a great thread discussing foldables here too, go check it out if you want more great discussions.

    All valid points (especially about the idle games, I probably need psychological help, lmao), except that I can now do all of those things with a single device that fits in my pocket. Of course I’d prefer to play games on a monitor or TV, but I don’t have those on the go. Except maybe a laptop, but that’s much less portable than a phone.

    It’s not for everybody, that’s definitely true. But it works for me, much to my surprise.

      How often would you be gaming on the go ? Wouldn’t something like a steam deck or Nintendo switch fill that gap ?

      I just think you can force I niche but it wouldn’t be better than a device that already exists ?

      Seems like a gimmick than an actual feature. I would gesture wisely at glasses that increase the real estate of what you’d be looking at. You would use your same device.

      Now again I’d love a snap bracelet phone. No more issues with pockets and I can see notifications if I need to. I can unroll to use device when required.

      I see zero situations where I’d say. “I need a larger screen on my phone”
      I can see where bigger devices are usually but they already exist.
