      I worked for a phone manufacturer that makes foldable for a while. I really got the strong feeling that those foldable displays make them extremely sensitive to any drops or abuse that a traditional chocolate bar would easily survive. And I’ve heard similar feedback from early adopters as well

      That’s a $2000 gaming setup! ($1900 for z fold, $100 for gamesir controller.)

      I think I’ll just get a Powkiddy RGB30 with a square screen for $80.

        I mean, it’s a phone + tablet first. The gaming is a nice bonus. Plus you really don’t need the fold 6 when the 5 will do just fine.

          Fold 5 is still like $1000 refurbished. Again compared to $80 Powkiddy. Plus a few hours of gaming doesn’t take away from your phone battery life.

            Why do you enjoy denigrating people’s choices? You’re not the only one capable of rationality. It might make total sense from their perspective and financial situation.

              We’ve literally just recreated the meme here in the comments.

              “It’d be pretty cool to have a flip phone to double as a big emulation handhel…”

              Tuba on face

              “A PEWKITTY IS $80 AND YOU GET TO CARRY MULTIPLE DEVICES AND A MUCH SMALLER SCREEN AND…”

                I didn’t say degrading, that wouldn’t even work grammatically. I said denigrating, “to criticise unfairly, disparage”.

                Learn something. And stop putting other people’s ideas down.

                  “disparage”

                  Suggesting an alternative isn’t disparaging anyone.

                  Suggesting alternatives isn’t putting people’s ideas down.

                    If you’d stopped at telling others what you’re doing. But no, you must feel righteous in criticising their choices of device, why they use it, and how much they spend on them.

                    People don’t owe you explanations for any of that.
