[INTO THE FOLD EPISODE 12 - SURFACE DUO 2 REVIEW RE-DO] Just last week on this channel we were exploring what it means to blur the line between smartphone and computer … but I guess the reality is that I’ve been thinking about it since about 2007, when I realized during an otherwise uneventful walk around my college town that I could post a new LiveJournal entry (yep, I was one of those guys) right from my pocket instead of going home for my computer. This week, instead of replacing a PC with a smartphone, we’re talking about bringing a PC feature to the smartphone: the idea of a second screen. The subject of today’s episode of Into The Fold is the Surface Duo 2 from Microsoft, and yes, you’ve seen it before on this channel – but it’s not the phone you remember.

[INTO THE FOLD EPISODE 11] For the few short years that foldable phones have existed, we’ve basically been given two weapons of choice: the full-format folding book, or the clamshell-style flip phone. Huawei or Motorola; Xiaomi or TCL; Samsung ... or Samsung. As Mr. Slim says: you can blow with this, or you can blow with that. Well, it was only a matter of time before someone came along with the best of both worlds: a foldable that would deliver the utility of the tablet … inside the compact footprint of the clamshell.

Each year, tech tastemakers flee their frozen local wintertimes to attend them. And each year, Sony builds a cameraphone that seems like the perfect tool to capture those adventures. Even without its optional tripod accessory and magnetic monitor, the Sony Xperia Pro-I (“I” for “imaging”) leaves no doubt about the kind of customer it’s built for. It’s a phone for vloggers; for travelers who’d prefer not to carry a full-size camera. In other words, it’s a phone for me. I’m Michael Fisher; join me for a week in Hawaii as I put the newest vlogging-centric smartphone to the test, in MrMobile’s Sony Xperia Pro-I Road Trip Review!

[INTO THE FOLD EPISODE 10] I bought my first flip phone over two decades ago. The Michael Fisher of 2001 was a high school graduate about to move to college 500 miles away, still finding his place in a world where not having a phone permanently in your pocket was suddenly the exception, rather than the rule. The inevitable nostalgia that springs therefrom helps explain why I’m so entranced by the new generation of flip phones, like the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 and Motorola RAZR 5G -- and also, perhaps, why I’m so forgiving of the flaws that necessarily come with their bleeding-edge folding screens. But for this episode of Into The Fold, I’m not here to re-recite all the reasons I love clamshell foldables. Instead, I want to talk about four things the modern flip phone needs to do better before it can return as a true mainstream option. And you might be surprised at how many of these ideas to reform the future … come from the past. [SUBSCRIBE TO MRMOBILE] https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSOp...
