The note+fold will become the successor, blending the note and tab lines together

pt020, 23 Mar 2021Why would I want it if my 5 years 10 inch Chromebook can do... moreCan you hold your chromebook up to your ear to make phone calls? Read text messages?
Will your chromebook fit in your pocket? Can you quickly respond to a message while walking?
How's the camera on your chromebook?
Will your chromebook wirelessly connect to your TV?
Does your chromebook have 5g?
How much ram does your chromebook have? How many cpu cores?
The list goes on...

Anonymous, 23 Mar 2021The war of folding will begin. Something to "brag"... moreThey make money off people who buy coz of specs but do not use the full capability of their phone. Like flagship buyers using theirs like a cheapo midgranger.

So much resolution / refresh that the cpu / gpu cannot keep up and lags and battery drains. While the use case is so niched.
It give rise to specs lovers.. whom do not even know much, just think more the merrier..

Anonymous, 23 Mar 2021The war of folding will begin. Something to "brag"... moreLiterally none of those "wars" are destructive for consumers. We should feel lucky OEMs have competed hard over the years to give us options ranging from the cheapest budget phone you can buy to top of the line flagship with all the bells and whistles. We have so many options now it's ridiculous.

Nick Tegrataker, 23 Mar 2021I honestly don't see any problem with that.Samsung brags about the quality of their oled, but decides to use one from inferior quality?
What's next, ram/storage from SK and camera omnivision instead of own in-house?

"The device would have an unfolded screen aspect ratio "in line" with mainstream options such as 16:9 or 18:9, to let more games and "other apps" "run more smoothly with better resolutions"."
I wonder how is that even possible in the first place. I might as well just wait and see about it.

Nobody is fo... moreThat's a great attitude and I would follow that suggestion without complaining except for the fact that increasing the Fold line is putting a strain on the available chips that is now ceasing the release of a Note 21 Ultra. I prefer the Note series over the S series so the S series is not an option and that leaves the r3tarded fold/flip line of devices which I have even less desire.

The war of folding will begin. Something to "brag" about.
Just like the core wars, ram wars, resolution wars, refresh wars.
But just like all wars, its meaningless and destructive.

I'm not entirely sure how they will achieve double folding phone tbh. Is it going to be the hybrid of inward + outward folding like shown in many of random renders/concept images on the internet? If so then it would probably follow the same fate as Mate Xs.
