I’ve been thinking about that, but an Android tablet really gives me nothing over the SP8 other than a much better size. I wouldn’t use a traditional Android tablet with the SP8 - at least the iPad Pro 11 gives me the Apple ecosystem (iMessage, FaceTime, iPhoto, Apple News +) to differentiate it from the SP8.
That large Fold3 screen is amazing and I prefer it to the Surface Duo approach. My real problem is whether the two gun solution is better than one for my needs…
I feel you on the differentiation (or lack of) point. With the SP8, I won’t stop to consider an Android tablet, even if it’s free. The lure of the Fold and Duo are the folding and dual screens respectively.
Yeah, no tablet fits into any pocket I have.
Coin pockets do not count.
My Galaxy Tab 8 with S-pen goes into my back pocket on my jeans. But that may just be proof of how big my a$s is.
Not that I would ever want to go around with it like that, forget that I have it on me and sit down to the sound of craaack.
I’m convinced if I were fully invested in Android phones, I’d move up to the Fold4 and call it a day. But keeping my feet in both camps seems to be my purgatory…
Well, it happened, my screen finally developed a stress crack smack in the middle of the fold. I had been without an inner screen protector for a long time due to that cracking and bubbling off. I tried a few replacements, but decided naked was just fine since I have BB Total anyway (it’s covered for another two months). I went online, set up an appointment for my local store and took it in. The nice Geek Squad Geek took a look, looked up my account, typed some stuff, and told me it’s eligiable for express replacement. I get to keep it while they send me a new one in 1 to 2 business days. I then have 30 days to send my old one back. $99 deductible. As long as the replacement is as “like new” as my current one, this should be an easy exchange.
My $10 screen protector that I picked up from AliExpress has lasted much longer than the OEM one did (knock of wood)
