Hear me out: Foldable phones might look cool, but they don’t add significant value compared to traditional smartphones. The durability concerns, extra weight, and high costs don’t seem justified for what they offer in terms of functionality.
Do you agree, or do you think foldables are the future of mobile tech? Let’s have a friendly debate!
I’ve been really considering one but I’m not sold yet.
I’ve been wanting a tablet or small laptop to do some minor computer stuff sitting on the couch, like looking up recipes or updating budget sheets, researching new products, but I couldn’t justify the cost of either considering its a fairly minor upgrade to my “workflow” vs the phone or sitting at my desktop.
But now my Note 20 5G is aging. The back plastic popped off (though I bet I can glue it back on), the screen is cracked in a way that doesn’t really matter and one of the back camera glass covers also has cracked. Otherwise, it’s been functioning fine, so I can keep using this for another year or so, but it’s also an opportunity to look at the foldable.
I’m looking at the Samsung Galaxy Fold 6, but I’d honestly rather get the Honor Magic V3, since it’s pretty much the same specs at a lower price, but I’m in the US so importing one seems tricky.
I held a coworkers and one small benefit I didn’t realize when looking at ads was that when folded, it’s thinner than the Note so it would be easier to operate with one hand.
