Pixel Fold v Galaxy Z Fold 4

Seifert talks about it all a bit more on his mastodon, too.

    I do not understand the appeal of these devices. Most of the time, it’s just a phone but twice as heavy and twice as think.

    Then every blue moon you make it into a small subpar tablet?

    It's for dads. For real, I just came back from South Korea and every dad had galaxy fold which makes sense as a family travel power phone. Only dads can pull off this absurdly awkward look of unfolding your tablet to take some off-angle pictures of a pine tree lol

    It's the dream of just opening up your regular phone to have a small tablet, clashing with the reality that your phone will never be regular sized if you want it to be able to do this!

    Maybe someday phones can be like 4mm thin, so doubling that for a foldable would be reasonable. But we are definitely not there yet.

    It's a real shame that a phone that looks that good can turn out so bad. Battery life is the killer here, hopefully Google will be able to improve by Gen2, otherwise I feel like Samsung will remain kings of the folding phone space.
