Wonder how they'll do with the multi-dimensional foldy phone in 2032

I tried a pixel 9 fold for a little while, it was neat but way overpriced for the novelty, and there are no cases worth a damn that aren't attached entirely by glue strips. Returned it and got a pixel 9 XL instead.

That's mine right now lol, I also had the OG Pixel Fold. I don't find it to be a novelty for me. Def a bit on the expensive side, but since I buy my phones through the carrier on EIP anyways it's meh.

I use the Poetic Spartan case and it's solid, it has the adhesive strips, but I don't use them (I just took em off) though it adds some heft, it's worth it considering the amount of drops my phone has taken its protected against lol

I had one of the Ghostek ones. I went through Best Buy (unlocked, to try Grapheneos; which handled switching screens much better than i expected) due to good return policy and no restock fees in Ohio.

Word.

Phone for, uh, phone stuff, while I'm out and about. Pixel 4a, $70 on eBay.

PC and TV screen for internet.

Crappy $25 tablet for reading epubs.

Lemmy: NO! I want all my use cases on ONE device that doesn't do any of them well!

OK, pay out the ass for it along with the associated global warming and ecosystem trashing. Oh, and the slave labor that took to produce it.

Lemmy: NO! Not like that!

Why use a computer when you can just wander, naked and fearless, back into the forest from whence we came. Climb a tree. Make a nest of leaves. Screech "Ook Ook!" to let everyone know this is your tree new.

Glad we're finally moving away from the featureless black rectangle era, might even pick up a foldable once the price drops.

Right‽ Lmao, for years:

Everyone: The slab is so boring! Why can't they just innovate!

I have similar question: Why did Samsung bother with developing foldable phones? It isn't selling as well as they thought, after all.

Damn, I misunderstood. I thought the airplane fold was just to increase the aerodynamics when you need to throw your on-fucking-fire phone because Samsung somehow found a way to hold the distinction of designing the first phone banned on flights across the globe due to catching on fucking fire. Imagine how cool that burning airplane (phone/firework hybrid) looks though!

Continues to baffle me that Samsung did their damnedest to go out of business with making all sorts of shit catch on fire for a few years and everyone went "meh, it's shiny tho"

I have the same question about tablets. A tablet to me is like a laptop without anything good about a laptop.

I guess you have to try one. I got a samsung fold 3, i loved it. Then, when my contract ended, i got a fold 6. I would have a hard time going back to a standard phone tbh.

My wife said she wouldnt get a folding phone but when i got my fold 6 i offered her my fold 3. She ended up really liking it and wants to get a newer fold when her contract ends.

So theres me, who knew i wanted one and am happy with it to the point where i cant go back. And my wife, who didnt want one but after trying one for a few weeks, said she got it now and would be upgrading to a newer fold when the time comes.

They need to get these in peoples hands if they want to sell them better.

I absolutely miss the unlimited fuck outta those very useful pockets, goddamn those jeans were just too good for the market. Fuck, my shorts had deepass pockets with a smaller little pocket on the outside for shit like your wallet or w/e

og jncos were just too good for us fuck

Or just use a normal phone that costs third as much. Or just use a pocket laptop if thats what you need because those can run linux and windows.

No sane person buys a foldy phone, unless they completely fix the issue of it breaking because it got folded.

I like innovation, but i had 15 different people in my circle with a folding phone from Samsung and they all had constant issues.

Innovation does need to be good imo.
