Can You Turn A Phone Into A Computer?

I talk pretty often about using folding phones as surrogate computers, but I usually only get to dabble in that diversion for the review period, because there’s so much else to cover in a review. Well, on a device as ambitious as Samsung’s Galaxy Z TriFold – a smartphone that unfolds into a ten-inch tablet – that seems like an even bigger missed opportunity than usual. So when Google took me to Taiwan to tour some of its hardware labs and testing facilities, I decided to leave my MacBook in the hotel room for the whole week, and use the TriFold as my mobile workstation instead. And I didn’t stop at drafting documents in Samsung DeX. Instead (starting in Taipei and ending back home) I pushed the TriFold to its limits in order to find out how powerful it is, what accessories you need to expose its full potential – and honestly? Just to have a little fun.
