I got an OG Pixel Fold refurb for tree fiddy last year. Folded up it's smaller than most modern phones but is still not a one-hander. Until then I'd use a pixel A phone and tether an ipad mini to it. The Fold's inner screen is good for reading but meh for content consumption. I've ordered the new OLED ipad mini and am open to using anything as a new hotspot once my Fold conks out.

God I hope not.
One of the reasons I went with a Samsung Fold 7 instead of a Fold 6 was because the the screen was bigger. Bigger, higher resolution display = more screen real estate. Honestly I wish the inner screen was 1-2" bigger. (But no I don't want a tri-fold cause I'll break it).
FWIW, I use a 65" LG OLED as a monitor and I regret not going with an 80" instead. Screens can never be big enough for me. I used to own a projector for a giant 120" image, but once you go OLED, you don't go back.

I missed the return of the big phones, but I suppose it's possible that my hands have simply grown alongside the trends.
