Recently, I suddenly found that people around me are increasingly changing to folding screen mobile phones, but I also see that more and more people are beginning to complain about it as "beautiful waste".
These four words have run through almost all the discussions after the introduction of folding screens, no matter how small and cute they are, but the shortcomings that come with them are also obvious.
So that now when we mention the folding screen, the first thing that appears in our minds is not a certain product model of a certain brand, but their almost uniform garbage endurance, creases, hinge strength and other problems.
Until, someone found the real correct way to open the folding screen mobile phone - the low-end version of the 3DS.

I don't know if you remember, we once talked to you about the reason for the sudden explosion of the 3DS in China. In the hottest days, a brand new unopened second-hand 3DS in the Xianyu APP can be sold for thousands of pieces at will.
In Japan's second-hand trading platform coal stove, after the new rules of Pokémon HOME were updated a few months ago, the price of 3DS was almost double the original price.
In this sweeping boom, 3DS has not only transformed from "electronic waste" into a hot fashion item, but also once again brought the classic games in 3DS/NDS.
But the bad news that followed was that Nintendo announced its decision to stop the Nintendo 3DS eShop service in March this year, so those who fell in love with 3DS games again have no way to repurchase or download new titles from the official.
Today, another piece of bad news hits: Nintendo has announced plans to end the online features of the Nintendo 3DS software and games in early April 2024.
WITH THE BLESSING OF ALL THE DEBUFFS, THEY HAD TO TARGET THE SIMULATOR.
Then, they found folding screen phones.
Or it can also be conversely, when many people first see a folding screen mobile phone, they can't bear to sigh, isn't this a 3DS that can make calls?
However, 12 years after its launch, the 3DS can be sold at twice the original price; The folding screen began to drop in price from the moment it started, and even the world's largest folding screen mobile phone Samsung Zflip4, now the second-hand price is lower than a new junior.
The characteristics of the folding screen mobile phone can not only perfectly run almost all 3DS, NDS, GBA games, but also can be matched with the controller accessories adapted to the mobile phone, and even the joystick is in place in one step.
In addition to playing games, folding screen mobile phones can even be used as mobile phones!
This price-performance ratio immediately stands out.
Therefore, Xiaohongshu even appeared a "folding screen mobile phone and 3DS compatibility" evaluation sticker.
After comparison, many bloggers concluded that the large folding screen mobile phone is the most suitable for simulating 3DS because it can accommodate the simulation area of the left and right stick buttons, and can have enough space to give full play to the high pixel and frame rate advantages of the smartphone screen.
Since the 3DS is generally folded up to play, the crease problem that folding screen mobile phone users are most worried about is almost negligible at this time.
This seemingly antique behavior actually once again proves the superiority of 3DS in design and carrying works, and once again proves that folding screen mobile phones are indeed a "beautiful waste".
But now this beautiful little trash is actually so suitable for playing simulators? After saying too much, I was even a little moved.
