Should you ditch your tablet for a foldable phone?

Foldables expand to almost the size of an iPad Mini. Should you ditch your tablet for a foldable phone. The new form factor offers convenience at a premium.

For instance, the latest iPad Mini features an 8.3-inch screen, only 0.3 inches larger than the Pixel 11 Pro Fold and Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra. At 7.6 inches, the iPhone Duo is slightly smaller, but the difference is minor. Most people aren’t carrying a compact tablet around, but if an 8-inch device folds down to a typical smartphone size, that’s different.

In fact, that convenience is the strongest argument in favor of replacing your tablet. You can use all of the features you normally use on a smartphone and unfold the screen when you prefer a tablet experience. A foldable also simplifies mobile data because most tablets need a second cell plan if you’re moving around and need full access to its features.
