As an owner of multiple galaxy folds, I really wish people that don’t see the use case would stop treating their opinion as fact. This is a phone that folds open into a tablet. Not “basically a tablet” The apple one is nothing special, its essentially the same as the wide fold 8. (The one i currently use) I have a tablet. I don’t use it. Because it is heavy, it doesn’t fit in my pocket and i can’t make phone calls on it. All the things that make a phone different to a tablet are present on my “basically a tablet” I have a specific use case for this phone. It suits me down to the ground. I don’t pretend this phone is for everyone, but i also don’t pretend it is for no one like you have done here. Sorry to direct this at you, but it really does trigger me when i see this type of comment. If you don’t see it working for you then just don’t buy one. No need to throw shade because you personally don’t like them.

    Personally, I want the Duo because trying to ssh into a server in Termius on my iPhone with my aging eyes is rough. This will give me a tablet’s worth of terminal screen that I can bring with me in my pocket. And if work is paying for it, why the hell not. There are legitimate use cases. Haters just want to feel superior.

    I do believe there is a target audience for folding phones but if you had already "multiple of them, you don’t seem to require a device that can truly last (+5 years).
