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.

Not interested in expensive gimmicks. How does it improve the experience? Now a phone that is a snap bracelet. Lives on my wrist. Sign me up.

How does it improve the experience

On a Pixel Fold,

I can browse two social media apps.
I can play two idle games.
I can play a game and watch a stream.
I can play one game or use one app with a large screen.

I actually use the inside screen much more than I thought I would. Is it worth it? Probably not, but goddamn is it fun.

You can use a laptop or a tablet. A big phone doesn't bring anything new to the table. It's just a sub category. Most people don't need a tablet a laptop a phone and a large phone. Some might get something from it.

Only situation I'd see would be watching on a larger screen and maybe gaming. However I'd never need that as I have a tv. So why would I use a small screen? I'm sure it's fun but I can never see it as something worth dropping 2k on.

Gaming laptop or a TV for gaming on. I wouldn't play on my phone as it's just a massive downgrade. But each to their own. Now a screen projected on my glasses. Sure.

Why would you ever play two idle games ? Sounds like an awful thing to do.
