Imagine that you need to grab your laptop or your tablet because you need a larger screen, now you can just do that from a small movement

Screen is really good on the google folding 9. On the other hand my gf broke her iphone screen twice in one week (the second time a few days after getting an official repair...)

I actually use a single screen to read epubs using my folding phone, mostly use two screens for PDFs, mangas, and videos.

You probably are in the target market but it's hard to understand how life changing it is without having one for at least a day.

I switched to Android last year, from being a long time iPhone user, just for the fold. I got the google pixel fold 9 pro. I also got lucky as it's right when all the cool AI integration started (and it sounds like it doesn't real

I have a google fold 9 for a year and I've never noticed it unless I look at the phone from the side. It's interesting that this is the criticism that comes up the most here where it's already been a solved issue

I grew up in the city in France and man it was so much fun, I was outside all the time visiting my friends, I don't understand how kids can grow up in the suburbs tbh

I go between NY and Paris and it's insane that New York basically has zero pedestrian streets, while Paris has so many. I used to live in SF and Chicago before, and same, there are no pedestrian streets, why?

I think you're talking about suburbs in the US, I understand you have a lot of space but it seems like a very isolated way of living

I live in New York as a European and damn, it's very pedestrian unfriendly, you have to cross these large roads everywhere, so much noise pollution, roads are so large. It's still the most pedestrian friendly city in the US, and t

That's what I used to tell my friends in France: "I think Americans see France like a theme park, they really enjoy it but they think it's not possible to live there, they probably just think it's a nice place to visit&q

Look at the latest model, your eyes won't see it. Stop spreading FUD

I'm always wondering how Americans feel traveling to Europe and being able to walk in cities. It must be so surreal that they either have to move, or they can't fathom that these cities are practical to live in.

Folding phones are also double the price. If the price comes down I would expect them to dominate the market.
