I have a z fold 4 that I use the large screen on to consume a lot of media. Sports, podcasts, movies, tv shows, you name it. I either have a video in full screen or I'm split screening a video with a messenger app on the other side! I also use it as my car's "android head unit". I purchased a tablet CD Mount and I slap it on there opened up and have an app duo that launches automatically when I connect to my car's Bluetooth. Google maps on one side, Spotify on the other at a 70/30 split of screen real estate. And finally, YouTube Revanced.
Just can't do that type of stuff on iphone :)
Now that's a power user! I'm excited for the foldable world, I have only had "candy bar" style phones so far, but I plan to get a foldable in the future because of this exact reason, having a portable phone/tablet/mini computer sounds like an absolute powerhouse.
Any podcast suggestions? I'm starting to get back into them to reduce my screen time.
It's incredible! Throw a little Dex usage in here and there and you really are getting an all in one device. I don't mind the direction Samsung took One UI. The OS Google ships Pixels with still seems a step or two behind when compared. We'll see how we look with the launch of the Pixel Fold.
As far as podcasts go, you and I are on the same boat. I only recently started to listen/watch but for now just have three I really follow and they are: The Old Man and the Three (Sports, mainly basketball), The Steam Room (also sports), and This Is Important (The guys from the show "Workaholics" just talking about random things)
