Watching the Premier League on TV has long been a staple of how we enjoy and engage with the teams we love.
It’s a classic for a reason, and nothing will ever change that. There are ways using modern technology that we can move beyond this approach alone, however, and today we want to look at how. From easier ways to partake in related activities to more convenient mobile viewing options with folding systems, there’s a lot of potential available here for anyone proactive enough to take the leap for the upcoming Premier League season.
Modern Approaches
For an example of what’s possible today, let’s consider a modern approach to engaging with the Premier League. This could start with placing a wager, which is now easier than ever thanks to online options. Betting in the UK online provides a huge range of options right at your fingertips on mobile, and this applies just as much to the Premier League as other major football matches. You can take this even further by using a betting calculator to help you break down the odds and make more informed decisions on your wagers, without having to physically call or visit a bookie.
From here, watching the game can be just as viable on the go with newer and bigger mobile phones, like folding systems. These folding phones are especially important because they take what isn’t really viable on a standard slate-style phone because of the screen size and essentially bypass this major hurdle.
Hold up your phone while on your couch at your regular watching distance, and compare its size in your view to how much area your TV takes up. Double that phone space when using a folding phone, and you have around the same visual real estate. It won’t work as well when watching with friends, but if you’re watching alone with headphones, this can be a vastly more convenient and still amazing choice.
The Next Step
The current generation of folding phones are already powerful systems, but they’re also still only a taste of what’s to come. Also important to remember is that trifold phones are gearing up to enter Western markets, following in the footsteps of their Chinese cousins. These make the viewing experience even better, practically bridging the gap between phone and tablet.
Are These Mobile Upgrades Worth the Investment?
Two main issues stand in the way of folding phone adoption for most users. The first is that the devices tend to be more expensive than their traditional counterparts. This ties into the second issue, where their folding nature means they’re not quite as robust as standard smartphones. They require more care and more upkeep, and some aren’t especially shock or water resistant. You might prefer a smaller, but more robust, screen for your on-the-go Premier League viewing.
Folding phones are slowly taking up more of the market, with even Apple poised to enter the race in 2026. With all the potential they hold for improving our sports, entertainment, and work experiences, folding phones could be the future, so it’s worth considering next time you’re due for an upgrade, and before the upcoming Premier League season is over.
