640Kb should be enough for anyone
Comment on New mobile features are sh*t these days

I can legit get work done. Two or three apps comfortably shown. (Teams, tickets, admin console)
-
I just moved and reading/signing docs on a big screen was so helpful.
-
navigation with an 8in screen is objectively better. Can even split screen with Spotify or the message thread with whoever I am visiting/meeting.

tripod for taking pics. I use this SO much. Along with selfies using the main cameras
I tried to go from fold 3 to S23U and gave it to my mom after 2 weeks. Right back to foldables with OnePlus Open. Takes even better pics

No wireless. Less space than a Nomad. Lame.

I guess if phones turn into all-in-one devices we could need more power, but I haven’t noticed any change in gaming performance for generations of snapdragon. Always locked at 60 fps.

My point was that we cannot predict the future, saying something like;
we are “there” with processing power
Will be as incorrect as
640Kb should be enough for anybody
It’s just impossible to predict, not only how we will utilize our tools, or what the consumer wants in 10 years or so
Besides, narrowing the scope of the device down to “just” gaming is a limited viewpoint.

Ok, What do you foresee us needing to do on our phones that we cannot do now?

Larger form factors also means more room for batteries. Granted, larger screens require them, but I think my point stands. I’ve been on the Samsung Note since like the Note 4 (I think). The larger amount of screen real estate is genuinely a welcome upgrade and that’s the whole point of the foldables… it’s the next evolution of the “phablet.”

Chinese ones are literally the thickness of an iPhone, when folded. With bigger batteries too! SiC tech we don’t have in the US yet.
It’s wild how foldables were just weird and cumbersome, and all of a sudden are “ready”.
