Phones Folding phones the next frontier

I thought the same thing once. And then I actually used one.

I really did consider getting a folding phone. But instead I decided to get a new Galaxy tablet 10FE, 10.9" screen. Recently it was on sale. I take this everywhere just like I do my phone.

Bigger screen, a lot less money (like 25% of the cost), pocketable too, no moving mechanism to worry about it breaking. And the best part is I have two separate screens, so I can run two use cases at once, where you can't do that on phone or not as easily or convenient.

Like I said I'll be interested in a folding phone when they can come up with minimum 16" screens.

I have a few friends who have folding Samsung phones and they've all had problems with it. Mostly from the moving mechanism. Or dust gets inside and damages it.

That's great it works for you but I don't want to carry around a tablet everywhere I go. Just one more thing to forget and leave behind or have stolen. A separate tablet also means either extra data plan or using your phone's mobile hotspot, which means quicker battery drain on the phone.

Nowadays I don't even carry keys and like keeping my pockets light. I am not completely wallet-free yet, but the wallet I have is very slim for just my ID, insurance card, and a couple of credit cards. A foldable phone fits my lifestyle better, affording me the tablet experience without the bulk or hassle of two devices.
