The screen is wider than a dedicated e-reader like a Nook or Kindle.

Moon+ Reader is also great for comics, which came as a surprise to me.

I now save all of my digital comics as PDFs and scroll through them continuously like a web page.

The less you have to squint, the nicer a map is to use.

It’s fine since I do virtually all of my computing from a single gadget.

With Samsung DeX, my phone is my PC, and my passwords are always available.

Managing passwords on a foldable requires much less switching between screens than on a regular phone.

you’ve got the option to open your password manager alongside another app in split-screen mode.

This makes it painless to copy and paste passwords and quickly log into apps.

Seeing them in stores or online is one thing, but using them is another.
