I mean I’m on my fold 5 right now while watching a YouTube video and responding to messages at the same time… doesn’t feel like a gimmack to me. In fact I kind of feel like it’s going to be hard to ever go back to a single form factor phone.
Tbh you can do that on a regular phone using a popup player on YouTube (I recommend NewPipe).
Now the true reason to be excited for fold phones is DS and 3DS emulation 🧐
Kind of, yeah. But the foldable gives a tablet experience that you just fold and put in your pocket. It’s epic.
Very true about 3DS…
I didn’t say folding phones are a gimmick, I said they’re fragile and bad value propositions.
Seems everyone who has one thinks they’re a pretty solid value proposition. You might just be looking at it throb contrarian tinted lenses.
Not to mention my wife’s flip cost less than my s23 uktra, and probably less than the s23 plus. It needs a new screen protector, but its held up against open and closed drops, including on concrete
The Flips also have a worse display, camera system, build quality, battery life, and just everything than either of those alternate Samsung phones.
Sure, Jan.
