      I am all for Michael taking the mantle from the great and never forgotten Anthony Bourdain. What made his shows and storytelling so great is the same as what Michael has, a great storyteller has to be great with words and a big part of what makes Michael's videos stand out is how he frames a tech review around great storytelling about the places he is visiting and the things he experienced using that tech.

      But this is a DUAL folding design with one single screen. It has two hinges and not three like a tri-fold would have.
      The Samsung Z Fold is a single fold design with two displays.

    I've been rocking the four pocket laptop ever since you made that video, first with the z fold 3 itself, now with the pixel fold. Ever since then I've never brought my laptop with me on trips, and I really don't miss it. I've optimized it to two pockets by having a kickstand on the phone, and by getting a Bluetooth keyboard with an integrated trackpad. I still keep the Bluetooth mouse in my backpack in case I want it, but being able to get away with two pockets (One which carries a phone anyway) has been a game changer. Thank you for helping me stay mobile!

Keep waking up and building your community. None of us are alone and the sooner we tell that silly little voice to quite down, the more time we have to be present and live! Keep the stellar reviews coming... And if you ever need to take a break you know the internet will always be here waiting. With love and support, Shanti.

    what i find about huawei foldables is that even if they arent the best, they're the ones that continue to feel the most modern even after depreciated. i picked up a mate Xs2 the other day, and honestly, it feels more modern than the pixel 9 pro fold, its not perfect, sure, and its infinitely more fragile, but ti *feels* more futuristic. the Huawei Mate X2 with its wedge shape? same thing, and im sure its the same with this.
    i said from the time i stopped reviewing phones and I'll continue saying it, the mobile space stagnated and came to a crawl when huawei was banned from the west, and shit like this only cement that fact to me

    Honestly even in the face of a tri-fold like this, I've felt more of an itch for a different kind of quirky form factor different from today's common slabs.
    Specifically, I've been loving the idea of an old-style flip phone, complete with a physical keypad for T9 typing...while still having a touch screen and running Android. And I think I've left comments like that on, uh, a few of your recent videos. So I guess what I'll say is the reason I bring it up again (aside from maybe trying to inception it into people's minds so there's enough demand for it to become more of a thing) is that I've realized lately that, even though it wouldn't quite scratch the itch the same way, the nearest thing that's actually readily available today to what I'm looking for might just be the Moto Razr.
    Keeping it folded and just using the outer screen for as much as I can and just opening it if I really need the extra real estate or for an app that doesn't play well with the smaller screen.
    So we'll see, maybe I'll surprise myself and my next phone will be a foldable yet.

    very interesting phone, it may be my next purchase after my Razr 40 Ultra gives out (hopefully it will be in a long time, and hopefully earlier than that we'll see these tri-folds in europe). Altho something i like a lot from the Razr is the "tripod mode" that i can more or less use without worry , because the bottom is quite grippy. i'd be more worried of using it in this phone both bc of scratching concerns, and also slipping concerns. I do much prefer the landscape orientation for recording so that'd be a big plus

    The perfect time to review an electric rickshaw. Using it as a desktop is the only practical thing I see for a folding screen and because it's so big it's easier to watch a video with someone. It seems the best road to take for an android phone maker is the flip or the trifold. If apple got into the game they wouldn't have to make a trifold. Apple could make lots of money from the flip but the real cash cow would be the fold since people don't upgrade their ipads

I truly got a better feel of the product and how it relates to the industry (and then how the industry relates to the world) than any other standard tech reviewer.

    This is such a great video. Whatever it is you’re going through that is more permanent, if I understood you correctly, I wish you all the best with it. I’ve been through some pretty heavy stuff myself, and 20 years later, am still dealing with some issues as a result. As beautiful as that part of India looked, like you, I would be stuck in a hotel unfortunately.
