The Sideload 004: The fantastical world of foldables

Welcome to episode 4 of The Sideload, a podcast by NewGeekGuide. This week, Will is joined by 9to5’s own Andrew Romero, hot off a recent review of Honor’s new Magic V5 foldable. Together, Andrew walks Will through what makes Honor’s latest device so enticing, where the software falls short, and what draws him to foldables in the first place. The two also explore the future of folding phones following Samsung’s excellent Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the ever-evolving rumor of a folding iPhone.
