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.
Writing this on a Fold 4 after coming from a history of Pixel devices.
Initially I loved the idea. So much room for activities with me at all times! A dream emulator machine and media consumption device! Look at all those power user multi-window layouts! SPen life! As time wears on though I find myself only relying on the inner screen for reading or long browser sessions. The SPen is in a drawer. I also dearly miss the Pixel-exclusive features. As a result, my next device will most likely be a Pixel 8/8 Pro coupled with an eink tablet.
For perspective, this was written on the front screen. I haven’t cracked open the inner screen today.
Get the best of both -Thunder user on a Pixel Fold
