Welcome to The Sideload episode 18, a 9to5Google podcast. This week, Will welcomes Derrek Lee, managing editor at Android Central, to the show to discuss his recent editorial comparing larger foldables to their clamshell counterparts. With the Razr Fold and Galaxy Z TriFold already on deck for 2026, what do clamshell phones need to regain some luster? Derrek and Will also talk through their tech-centric resolutions for 2026, from getting in shape to decluttering and saving some cash.
