It’s exciting to want the cutting-edge latest and greatest — believe me, I know. I’m in a fortunate position where I get to try a lot of new form factors pretty quickly after they’re announced. And, when Samsung finally announced its Galaxy Z TriFold, you can bet it perked up my ears — after all, who doesn’t want an alternative to the HUAWEI Mate XT that’s actually available in the US?
But now that I’ve had a few days to think about it, I think I’m ready to exercise caution. I’ll still allow myself to be excited about Samsung testing out a new form factor, but I’m not about to tell you to rush out and buy one. Instead, I think you should bank on what’s already working and pick up the Galaxy Z Fold 7 instead, and here’s why.
