  • Reading this on my Samsung Fold 6.

    But to add something constructive for apple users: I would very much not recommend any foldable mobile. They can be done well but a mechanical fold will always deteriorate over time e.g. manufacturer protective plastic detaching and tiny dirt getting where it causes problems over time.

    All in all I am happy with my current device, it works exactly as advertised (and apple too: you’ve got a mini tablet at any time) but would not get a foldable again, especially at those prices. Also many sites and services are just so optimized for the standard format that the gain can be minimal and especially physical phone holders in cars etc might not fit that well.

    Of course it’s great for maps and photos.

    Also consider that you’ll be needing a good (aka massive, expensive) case if you don’t want the expensive device get damaged by drops.
















  • Don’t keep that regret.

    I had two original gameboys, those things degrade really bad. Maybe no audio, maybe the display lines working get less and less.

    So what I can recommend very much is getting an analogue pocket if you want it premium, hardware emulated or one of the anbernic devices if you want it still quite good but massively cheaper and software emulated.
