Phone looks and acts as new, as far as I can tell, and I was able to save a bit of money on it. I decided on the fold for mobile gaming when I don’t have my tablet with me. The way it unfolds, I can actually see things on the screen that I can’t see on the tablet, despite it being obviously larger overall. I haven’t tested if I loose any width from the phone unfolding as it’s not wide-screen, but to me it was more important to see more of the up and down for lists of missions I had to do. I’d assume this would make reading emails and books easier as well. the power saving feature as default just dims the screen greatly, I’m used to phones where the default completely turns off the screen. That’s also a nice thing as far as the games I play. I can save the battery power while still being able to see the game running in case something I don’t expect happens that I need to react to.

I tried out the Fold 2 thinking that the tablet aspect of it would be a gimmick. How wrong I was. When you open the Fold 2, it doesn’t feel like a bigger phone, it feels like a tablet. That extra space transforms reading into a pleasure, so much so that I haven’t used my iPad nearly as much. After all, like they say about cameras, the best tablet is the one that you always have on hand.
Being able to use two apps simultaneously and have enough room to make it reasonable is also amazing. Truth to be told, I don’t use it very often, particularly at home during Covid, and it takes a little while to find out how to do it efficiently. But the first time you do need to use it, it’s magic.
I also have been using the Note 20 Ultra, and while I miss it’s thinness, the better cameras, and the S-Pen, it just wasn’t as enjoyable to read on. If I were travelling, I’d probably want the Note 20 Ultra with me instead of the Fold 2. But for most anything else, I’m really grooving on this phone, and am sending the Note 20 Ultra back (sob!).
To get the best use out of the phone, check Youtube for a video about the 20 best secrets of the Fold 2. It’s pretty brief, and covers a lot of settings and add-ons that make the phone sing (like Goodlock). I’m a very tech’y guy, but most of this is not obvious, so it’s well worth watching.
Definitely buy it with a good return policy, because if the tablet experience doesn’t move you as much as it does me, the price is sky high and there are some notable compromises to get there. But if you feel like the screen is calling for you, get it and try it out. I don’t think you’ll be returning it.
