Galaxy Fold review units are failing

Yea I’m guessing down the road they will upgrade it to a more durable display. I hope he gets his hands on Samsung’s foldable phone :joy:

I doubt this issue can be solved in one product iteration. But I’m sure will be solve eventually in a hand-waving 1-2 years don’t-challenge-me estimate.

I am also skeptical people want the phone given how tablets sales lowered as bigger display tablets reduced as phones got so big it bled tablet demand from below and chromebooks bled tablets from above.

My choice of the word skeptical does not mean I think it will fail, means I am open minded and need to see better evidence. I do personally often carry a phone and a tablet, but some of those reasons is 2 devices in case 1 fails and their combined battery power. e.g. a 8" tablet to watch on a flight and I can let its battery run down, then I switch to a phone for Uber etc then switch back to tablet for bedtime TV, etc. The current cost of a phone+tablet, very capable, is <$1000. So one device $2000 doing both, is challenging to understand.

Yea I own a tablet but you are right, since phones became bigger, I barely use it anymore. And I honestly like phones better since they are easier to carry. But nothing beats watching a movie on a table when you are on a long flight

I have 3 iPads at home, my family uses them, I hardly ever use them, prefer iPhone over iPads… unless it’s movies or when there is no need for network

#66

Which iPhone do you have?

#67

Have iPhone X (personal) with iPhone 8(work)… But for all purposes use X

If you read a lot a tablet is better.
Those smaller phones will ruin your eyes if using these for a long time.

#73

Origami! :rofl:

#74

I have a giant of a phone in the 6.4 S10+ still I can’t use too long or my eyes go… :woozy_face:

The more the phones get bigger the more they get the size of tablets.
Creating tabphones?
Think those exist already.

#76

Yes, they’re called phablets (PHone tABLETS)

I think it only applies to phones over 6 inches!

I like to read through news, tech articles, office emails and use iPhone because it’s convenient to carry and hold. Plus have the font size increased not to strain the eyes :eye:

Kindle e-readers are great, because they actually look like paper, and aren’t as bad for your eyes. They’re super soft on your eyes…

Kindle e-readers have its own set of lovers, it’s not for all, if you have to multitask. If one is voracious reader, Kindle e-reader is the go-to device else, wouldn’t go for it

The most readers allow you to change font size, font type, colour of paper and brightness.
I use the kindle app on my old Ipad its OK having all the features I mentioned.
