Well, as promised, we are talking foldable this week. The excitement is palpable, and it looks like the rest of our mod team have already started the conversation here. Go check it out.
I honestly don’t know very much about foldable phones, so I’ll let the rest of our (very smart and knowledgeable) mod team handle this one this week. :)
Last thing for future reference at the end of the week, we also have a great thread discussing foldables here too, go check it out if you want more great discussions.
Just remembered one cool thing about the Nintendo DS. Thanks to its dual screens and the stylus there were lots of “games” that made it serve as an electronic Japanese dictionary and Kanji learning tool and many Japanese learners used it for that exact purpose (I bought mine just for Kirby Canvas Curse though 🙃):
There were also lots of games exploiting that setting and they offered unique gameplays that you couldn’t find on other hardware.
What would be really cool is if we had a similar software offering on Android that exploits the foldable nature of those phones in a similar way to the Nintendo DS, that would definitely win me over.
But, what would you need a foldable phone for that purpouse? You can do the same with a regular phone in portrait mode.
I’d say for the same reason you’d prefer a writing tablet on your lap or on your desk while the screen is in front of you, and it’d feel more like an electronic dictionary:
