- Archer6621 2mo agoThat might explain my naivety here, I've never really gotten into using tablets for anything.
- ShinyLeftPad 2mo agoI am a tablet user but crease is a non starter. However I know people who like foldables in different ways, like financial stuff, they don't care
- user43928 2mo agoFor most, if not all users, the crease is not something one notices during regular use. You just forget it's there when you look at content. That said, with the Pixel's enormous crease you feel it if you touch the middle of the screen.
- ShinyLeftPad 2mo agoDepends on your use. If you draw or want high quality display with no weird reflections from your tablet then it's a non starter.
- esperent 2mo agoMy mother uses it for everything. The small phone screen is hard for her eyes, she doesn't really need a laptop and the tablet is just right. She still carries a phone with her but I can imagine if she replaced both tablet and phone with a single foldable she'd be happy. On the other hand, she'd want it to last 5+ years and she'd never spend €1800+ on it.
- ThatMedicIsASpy 2mo agoAnd I've never gotten into using my phone for anything outside of calls messages and navigation. The web is the worst on tiny vertical screens.
- ShinyLeftPad 2mo agoa tablet with a crease right in the middle of a screen (FTFY)
- NIckGeek 2mo agoYou really don't notice it while you're using a folding phone.
- ShinyLeftPad 2mo agosomeone said "tablet". When I use a tablet I personally don't just notice it, I literally can't stand any uneven surface under stylus or uneven reflections. So the unfolded state of the folded phone is not a "tablet" to me. Maybe a tablet with a glaring defect... definitely not a tablet I could use as an actual tablet.
- losvedir 2mo agoI can't tell if you've actually tried a finding phone or not, but that would help understand and place your comments better.
- ShinyLeftPad 2mo agoI have, I have a friend with a folding phone
- bakies 2mo agoYep! Having just got the Pixel Fold 10. I've been wanting a tablet for casual browsing and video watching but I knew I wouldn't use it because it's not my phone. The apps data would be different logins are annoying. If I'm getting another device out I'll just get my laptop. This thing is great though. There can't be a more seamless transition. The multitasking is pretty good and with coding agents it's actually turned out fairly production to have two apps side by side.
