I haven’t shopped for a new phone for a while but I have to admit I’m eyeing the new foldables from an accessibility standpoint. I really miss the mechanical keyboards that used to be available on every phone. In the absence of that, I’d love to have the option of a full-screen keyboard on one side and still being able to view the context of what I’m typing about on the other side without everything shrinking the way it does on regular phones.
I like the form factor of the pixel fold, but will upgrade to the Fold 5. I try and skip gen 1 devices. Then follow the subs to see if the bugs get worked out…an example would be the Microsoft Duo. Gen 1 & 2, it never got the polish to the underlying os that it needed. But I was really tempted when gen 2 came out.
I also wait until the bugs get worked out. That’s why I haven’t tried a foldable yet-I’m still keeping an eye on the new versions to see which one seems to be what I’m looking for.
