Description

I am using a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6. It would be nice if RedReader would detect the Z Fold6 as a tablet when using the main screen and as a phone when using the outer screen. I assume it does not work this way on other foldables as well. Obviously flip phone style foldables would not want this behavior.

Research direction

Start by locating RedReader's existing phone/tablet detection and checking how the Android app identifies the current display. Review the foldable behavior described for the Galaxy Z Fold6 and other foldables before choosing the affected entry points. Done means the main Fold6 screen is treated as a tablet, the outer screen as a phone, and flip-style foldables are not given the same behavior.
