“I didn’t do anything to deserve this. The phone sat on my desk while I wrote about it, and I would occasionally stop to poke the screen, take a screenshot, or open and close it. It was never dropped or exposed to a significant amount of grit, nor had it gone through the years of normal wear and tear that phones are expected to survive. This was the lightest possible usage of a phone, and it still broke.”

This can happen to any phone of course — there are numerous threads on reddit of faulty S23 phones that are only days old, and of course the first Galaxy fold phones were problematic — but still. Rough start!

I’ve never really liked tablets - I much prefer a real computer. That probably explains our disconnect.

My single tablet use case is ebooks. I despise the ugly “e-ink” readers and love the simplicity of a cheap tablet.

Dang, you’ve got eyes of steel. I could never read books on an LED screen - the eyestrain is just too much. E-ink doesn’t have that issue.

tbf, it’s not like I use tablet as a computer replacement, only for media consumption. having an extra screen real estate when you need it is convenient
