It is becoming pretty big but they fulfill different use cases. A Switch or a phone is great for commute and a PC can't really replace it yet. Decks are commonly sold out there but it's a lot bulkier. I've been trying using a AYN Thor but that experience might be a bit too unintuitive to the average consumer to set up.

    Yea I can't imagine that this isn't intentional. I've not played it so I have no idea if it is relevant but I can imagine it could be impactful if used well. Still, this seems insensitive given it wasn't that long ago.

    Edit: Read through the article and seemed like it wasn't necessary at all. The cynical part of me feels like this might've been an intentional marketing move to garner attention through controversy.

    Gotten used may not necessarily mean they like it though. I wouldn't be surprised if this is a plus point for them. Heck, for me, I find the Z Fold's power button fingerprint sensor a plus point compared to the in-screen sensors on the regular phones.

    Not sure how it is where you live but the Samsung Fold 8 Ultra where I live are 300 SGD cheaper for the base model compared to the Duo. And that's from Samsung directly, if I get it from a reseller, I can get it for almost 1000 SGD cheaper.

    A tablet can't fit into your pocket. I've been using folds for the past 6 years and I've been very happy and can't go back. Never had one break its screen either. 2000 USD being an insane price for one on the other hand, I can agree with.
