Sorry for wording my comment so weirdly. I just had to look up some phone’s names, since I‘m kinda put of the loop with the new models.

A Samsung Fold like phone I get. It is, like you said, a phone when folded and a tablet when unfolded. I see that being useful.

A phone in the style of a Samsung Flip I don’t get. That’s what I meant with the normal size when unfolded and small, thick square when folded part. It has a tiny screen when folded that barely seems usable. It seems like you get all the faults and none of the benefits with this design.

Excuse my poor wording again.

Thanks for the thorough reply!

The bigger screen aspect seems very nice indeed. I just would be too scared to use it like a regular phone. Wouldn’t something that scratches a regular glass display absolutely shred the plastic screen on a foldable?

What I still don’t get at is the normal sized phone when open that closes to a thicker square. This seems kinda gimmicky to me. One doesn’t get the benefit of the tablet sized screen and you have a bulky think in your pocket that you can barely use when not opened.

May I ask why? I would be scared 24/7 to break my phone with my fingernails or something because the screens are so fragile.

It should be really telling that you can’t find anything positive about cigarettes online, even when you specifically search for positive aspects.

They cause cancer and you smell disgusting after smoking them. Just listen to your girlfriend on this.

I can vouch for the iPad + Apple Pencil + GoodNotes combo. I‘m using this multiple hours a day for university. The iPad also would be the most versatile device for watching a movie, playing a game etc.

You can also get other tablets but in my experience the writing experience isn’t as good as the iPad.

If you want to do mostly reading, an e-ink display will be nicer on the eyes, but you loose general functionality.
