Are foldable laptops good for gaming?

Mobile gaming represents a constantly expanding market. When games started to be as smooth (and sometimes even smoother) than on some home consoles, the option of playing on a mobile device made sense for millions of gamers.

MMO RPGs on Android , or even Fortnite, PUBG, Genshin Impact: these are just some of the video games downloaded millions of times on the Google Play platform. Foldable phones are all capable of running these games with superb graphics and enhanced gameplay.

Simply a bigger screen!

Let's briefly review the basics of foldable smartphones, such as those sold by brands like Samsung and Motorola. These phones unfold to provide the user with a screen magnifier , allowing for better visibility. These screens are very practical for reading two texts simultaneously, for example.

The principle with mobile games is the same: you can play a quick round of Call of Duty in widescreen, allowing you to see enemies from further away and better appreciate the landscape format. The same applies to scenic games like Genshin Impact, where the hero explores picturesque worlds with a distant horizon.

There are, however, exceptions to this "grandiose ambition," as some developers have not yet optimized their games for foldable screens. We expect this will be rectified for most of them quickly. Besides, all the most popular video games already offer stunning visuals.

Improved graphics

Foldable phones like the one designed by Samsung are somewhere between a mobile phone and a tablet. With suggested retail prices ranging from €699 to €1,799, expect a technological powerhouse with a more than decent battery life and, above all, graphics that rival those of the best. These devices are equipped with very powerful processors, making them almost like computers. As a result, foldable phones are perfectly capable of handling a frame rate of 30 or 60 FPS without any issues, which is essential for shooters like Apex Legends or Call of Duty.

Foldable laptops and gaming: a winning combination

Given the unique shape of these smartphones, it's natural to wonder if the gaming experience will be as fantastic on these devices as on regular smartphones. The answer isn't straightforward, but we can say that foldable smartphones are very well-suited for gaming.
