Your phone is great because it’s possible for you to grab it and look at it.

Then, think about the times you choose to use your iPad or laptop instead.

The iPad’s advantage is its bigger screen, which is better for reading or for doing more typing.

A folding phone has one big advantage.

It can offer a double-sized screen.

And then we get to the price.

This thing costs $1,800.

But the Galaxy Fold and Pixel Fold cost the same.

Neither equipment is compromised, and you’re not forced to carry both at the same time.
