Fold 5 is still like $1000 refurbished. Again compared to $80 Powkiddy. Plus a few hours of gaming doesn't take away from your phone battery life.

Why do you enjoy denigrating people's choices? You're not the only one capable of rationality. It might make total sense from their perspective and financial situation.

Suggesting a much cheaper alternative that has some benefits isn't degrading anyone.

I didn't say degrading, that wouldn't even work grammatically. I said denigrating, "to criticise unfairly, disparage".

Learn something. And stop putting other people's ideas down.

"disparage"

Suggesting an alternative isn't disparaging anyone.

Suggesting alternatives isn't putting people's ideas down.

If you'd stopped at telling others what you're doing. But no, you must feel righteous in criticising their choices of device, why they use it, and how much they spend on them.

People don't owe you explanations for any of that.
