Videos are just ok, but web, notes, images and multitasking are freaking excellent. permalink fedilink source parent [–] daltotron@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) the interior screen is almost 4:3, right? you could try watching like. anything made before 1990 whenever, I guess. old ass anime, or something. it's probably not as big in totality as a regular screen, but it's got higher pixel density, and it's portable, so that's neat. I guess another appeal might be that you could use it more easily as a book or a laptop substitute. I also think probably more support will come after it becomes more market accessible, like if samsung actually releases a 400 to 500 dollar model. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] GeekySalsa@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago I have the fold 3 and love it for this reason. It's fantastic for reading articles + manga. The nearly 4:3 display is fantastic for retro games. Additionally, a surprisingly large number of memes are in a 3:4 aspect ratio. Also, the outer display is great for one handed use. permalink fedilink source parent [–] AlecSadler@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago This has been my hesitation with a larger foldable. I love my Moto Razr+, because when folded it's super pocketable, I can also check notifications at a glance and even respond without opening it. It keeps "doom scrolling" behaviors down because I'd likely need to open it to do anything beyond that. permalink fedilink source parent
