Alternatives Cheap Dual Screen Folding Phone to Samsung Z Fold 2


Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 5G | Factory Unlocked Android Cell Phone | 256GB Storage | US Version Smartphone Tablet | 2-in-1 Refined Design, Flex Mode | Mystic Bronze

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I was browsing around Amazon when I saw a couple of dual screen folding phones. If you like the idea of having a dual-screen folding phone but much cheaper, and not so fancy as the Samsung Z Fold 2, you might want to take a look at them.

Frankly, I'm not sure if they actually exist before the Samsung Z Fold. I think the main difference would be that for the cheaper phones, it's a dual-screen attached together. While the Z Fold is actually one special screen that you can actually fold.

Nonetheless, it's pretty intriguing to have a dual-screen phone. Now, everything you do on a single screen can be spread out to two screens or monitors. You'll have that bigger or extra bit of space. You can reply to emails or messages with the virtual keyboard not taking half of your screen anymore.

You can watch youtube while commenting below at the same time. Multi-tasking makes things easier and faster to access. I used to just use one monitor for my desktop setup. Now, I have one main screen for watching youtube and two portable monitors for blogging, social media, and communications all opened on separate monitors.



LG G8X ThinQ Dual Screen Unlocked CDMA GSM Cell Phone - 6.4" FHD+ OLED Display 2340 x 1080, Snapdragon 855 Octa-core, 6GB RAM 128GB US Warranty (Universal Compatible)

I like the LG G8X dual-screen phone. The specs aren't that bad either. They can improve it with 8-16Gb of ram. 256Gb - 1TB of storage and of course better processor. I don't have the phone, so I'm not sure how smooth and fast it is with the current specs.

It does have a 4,000mAh battery size, 6.4 screen size, and a 32MP front camera. I'm not sure about the rear camera. This is basically like two phones attached together. Would be interesting if you could attach and dis-attach the phone. 



ZTE Axon M Z999 64GB Unlocked GSM Dual-Screen Phone w/ 20MP Camera - Black

Another interesting dual-screen phone is the ZTE Axon M Z999. One half of the phone actually looks like an iPhone. The specs are also a little lower than the LG G8X. It has a smaller 5.2-inch screen, only a 20MP camera, and a 3180mAh battery. 

Both the screen have thinner edges than the LG's. So, when you open it up, it almost like a full 2-in-1 screen. I'm not sure about both of the hinges of the phone. When the Z Fold one came out, people were complaining about it. Although for both of these phones, there's nothing special as it won't affect the inside of the phone.



NEW Microsoft Surface Duo 256GB (Unlocked) - Glacier

Last but not least is the Surface Duo by Microsoft. I actually already blogged about this last year when it was first announced. You can read my post here. Even though, I haven't had any kind of time with it, right out the bat I said it's ugly and Microsoft is lazy.

The surface duo looks like they attached two small tablets together with a hinge. To me, a product design is as much important as the specs. That's why I called Microsoft lazy. Take a quick look at the Samsung Z Fold 2 and then look at the surface duo. They're like beauty and the beast. Lol.

I'm not saying that the Samsung Z Fold 2 is perfect. But, I think the dual-screen folding phone concept is good in a category by itself. More companies should do this kind of phone. Think about it, you can use it as a normal phone and then open it up and turn it into a tablet. 

Of course, if they can make it much lighter and slimmer but still maintain the tablet screen size. The important thing is that it can fit your pockets easily without looking too bulky. Now, that's what I call mobile computing. All the power of a computer in your pocket!

HP 15s Vs Asus Tuf FX505DT Gaming Laptop



Asus TUF Gaming Laptop, 15.6” 120Hz IPS Full HD, AMD Quad-Core Ryzen 5 3550H, 16GB DDR4 Mem, 512GB SSD, Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650, RGB Backlit Keyboard, Windows 10 + CUE Accessories

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I know, I've been posting a lot about my new HP 15s laptop, lately. The thing is, it's got a lot of views on my youtube channel and also a lot of questions about it and laptops in general. Sometimes, it's a bit irritating because their question shows, they never actually watch the whole video.

I don't pretend to be an expert or anything, but I've owned a couple of laptops and desktop since the mid-90s. I can't even remember what's the brand of my first desktop. It comes with windows 3.1 and costs more than a year's bonus. lol



2020 HP 15.6" Touchscreen Laptop Computer/ 10th Gen Intel Quard-Core i5 1035G1 up to 3.6GHz/ 12GB DDR4 RAM/ 256GB PCIe SSD/ 802.11ac WiFi/ Bluetooth 4.2/ USB 3.1 Type-C/ HDMI/ Silver/ Windows 10 Home

Anyway, one of them asked me to 'research' which laptop should he buy, the Tuf FX505DDT, or my current HP 15s laptop. He wants to be able to play PUBG on high 60FPS. Also, going to use it for school to learn to program.  

For a guy, going to school to learn, I assumed, computer engineering or coding, it's kinda weird, he's asking me to do research for him. Especially, when it's pretty obvious, which laptop is better for gaming or for school.

I can play games on my AMD Ryzen 7, Radeon X Vega 10 laptop but, most of the triple AAA games, I tried playing can only play on low-medium settings. I've checked some of the Asus Tuf gaming laptops, and most of them have a GTX graphics card.

One thing for sure, they cost more than my Hp laptop. Not, everyone is into gaming so, for them, a laptop with my kind of specs will suit them. Also, if you have a certain budget, this is below $1k. I post an article yesterday about the Microsoft Surface Go laptop. And, it's almost the same price as my HP laptop. Only mine has better specs.

Asus, actually have a couple of interesting gaming laptop. There's one with an extra screen above the keyboard. At first, I thought that's weird and probably useless. But, after looking at it again, it might add extra screen space.

The reason, I've changed my mind about dual or even triple monitor on a laptop is after I started using my portable monitor as my desktop second screen. Being able to watch youtube or having a separate window for separate tasks is pretty useful.

If you want a high-end laptop, you have to be ready to pay the dough. With this kind of price, you definitely need a reason to buy and a return on investment. I can definitely see professional musicians, photographers, or artists using this. 

For the rest of us mere mortals, we can only dream. :p
