The Phones I’m bringing to CES 2024
I like to travel with an array of smartphones when headed on a work trip—it’s the best time to compare and contrast, plus test the devices in environments outside of the home office. This year, I’m packing the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 for the wide-angle typing experience; I am so much faster responding to an email with that phone folded out than I am with a regular smartphone in horizontal mode. The iPhone 15 Pro Max will be critical in taking videos for social media and will serve as an additional cellular network when I need to tether. The smaller Google Pixel 8 is my primary smartphone because of its size; it’s paired with my smartwatch, and I have all non-vital notifications turned off so that I only see pings from my spouse and coworkers.
