Not interested in expensive gimmicks. How does it improve the experience? Now a phone that is a snap bracelet. Lives on my wrist. Sign me up.
On a Pixel Fold,
I actually use the inside screen much more than I thought I would. Is it worth it? Probably not, but goddamn is it fun.
You can use a laptop or a tablet. A big phone doesn't bring anything new to the table. It's just a sub category. Most people don't need a tablet a laptop a phone and a large phone. Some might get something from it.
Only situation I'd see would be watching on a larger screen and maybe gaming. However I'd never need that as I have a tv. So why would I use a small screen? I'm sure it's fun but I can never see it as something worth dropping 2k on.
Gaming laptop or a TV for gaming on. I wouldn't play on my phone as it's just a massive downgrade. But each to their own. Now a screen projected on my glasses. Sure.
Why would you ever play two idle games ? Sounds like an awful thing to do.
All valid points (especially about the idle games, I probably need psychological help, lmao), except that I can now do all of those things with a single device that fits in my pocket. Of course I'd prefer to play games on a monitor or TV, but I don't have those on the go. Except maybe a laptop, but that's much less portable than a phone.
It's not for everybody, that's definitely true. But it works for me, much to my surprise.
