One Flaw... (IMO)

I like the Fold 3, it has been solid so far. But I did notice one flaw. My old smartphones I could hold for an hour, and not get fatigued. But the Fold 3 is almost twice the weight, and holding it for a while, reading ,etc, can get a bit heavy. Light for a tablet, heavy for a phone.

So, what I am HOPING is that this thing can replace my iPad AND Kindle (paper reading Kindle). I don't read too much in bed, but sit in a chair mainly, so hoping it's not too heavy for long durations.

Maybe if you rest it on your knee or leg or prop it up slightly some other way.

So why is that considered a flaw?

It's a larger device that weighs more based on what it is. I wouldn't consider that a flaw.

Maybe in time they will start using lighter materials where it makes sense but for now the characteristics of the design are what they are.

As in holding the phone to your ear? LOL, I forgot how that is like. I don't do that anymore.

I had a Razer phone 2, which I said will be the heaviest phone I will ever get. Boy I was wrong. This thing will work out your wrists more than spanking your monkey.

The thing weighs like a half pound. Hit the weights, brother!
