Smartphone manufacturers still want to make foldables a thing::Foldables are barely 1% of the market, but that’s not stopping anyone but Apple.

    The only advantage I see are movies, but then again for a static display I can just use my laptop or a TV.

    I guess gaming could be something, if you’re into that. Personally all those microtransaction BS makes me steer clear of wanting any games on my phone.

      Tablets are cheaper and lighter than laptops so if someone just wants to watch videos while traveling or commuting, a tablet is often a better option than a laptop.

        What not get a tablet/ laptop hybrid. Two birds one stone.

            Well no. Like the Microsoft surface. It’s a laptop that can be hard as tablet. As powerful enough to do plenty of computer tasks.

      Imo movies on anything smaller than 40" with a sweet sound system is blasphemy.

      And I don’t play many games these days but when I do it’s on a proper PC for pretty much the same reason (plus the micro transactions as you mentioned).

      Also, touchscreens drive me nuts for anything more advanced than like browsing Mastodon.

      It’s nice for the few non shitty games that also scale well on the display.

      Also watching videos while doing chores, quite convenient.
