When I recently turned on Google’s new Pixel Fold smartphone and unfolded it as if it were a book, it transformed into a miniature tablet, similar to an iPad Mini or an Amazon Fire.
The phone’s performance was smooth and fast, and the bigger screen made reading emails, watching videos and reading comic books more delightful than on a normal phone screen.
I was surprised because I have been wary of foldable phones.
They were thick and heavy, had durability issues and lacked software to take advantage of their novel hardware.
But I immediately knew the Pixel Fold — Google’s first foldable phone — was different.
