My Favorite Phone So Far Is NOT Just A Phone 👀

Опубликовано 4 февраля 2023, 0:00

The year was 2014 and I bet you forgot that the idea of a phone that could turn into a tablet is actually not new. Taiwanese phone-maker ASUS came up with the bold solution of a tablet that could be powered by your phone when docked, but then the story goes on. If you went back to 2009 you’d see how the Celio RedFly tried to do something similar with Windows Mobile, which by the way, is actually a 2007 idea that Palm invented with the Foleo. And sure, knock yourself out, I’m sure someone else did it first.

The point is that this idea that your phone not being enough is pretty old. Those initial products might have failed because the technology was ahead of its time, but not because they were a solution in search of a problem. I love small tablets with stylus input, and sure, I also love my phone if its size doesn’t get out of hand, but I hate carrying both. I hate having to keep files on one and then transfer them to another, or to depend on slow internet to sync them up.

All I want is one device that can do multiple things, and it’s crazy to think that a different version of the past came to solve the problem. Phones were folding more than 25 years ago because the shape of a handset only made sense half the time.

(come with me audio)
On that same premise, sometimes my phone is not enough, and sometimes my tablet is too much, but to not have to choose what to bring makes all the difference in the world. I’m Jaime Rivera with Pocketnow and after a couple of months with the Galaxy Z Fold 4, it’s time for our extended review.
