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

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 only contact people via my QRP rig, CW mode. Don't talk to me unless you have a valid HAM licence.

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

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.

Holly shit, I didn't know that interrobang symbol existed in utf-8.

Uhm aktshually utf-8 is an encoding, you mean Unicode.

(sorry)

Btw, getting a phone on contract is usually more expensive than getting the phone and the contract separately.

But i dont have £1700 to hand to buy it outright and buying on finance direct from samsung cost more than half what i pay on my contract per month. The contract is with o2 and they offer a separate airtime and phone plan. They are independant of one another. It would have cost more to buy separate with the airtime plan i have and the discounts i applied and extras i got for free with this particular contract.

Pretty soon we're going to be carrying cubes in our pockets

[email protected]

About a year late to the party and I bet it's gonna be a grand more expensive than other trifold options available

[email protected]

Anecdotal of course, but my flip phone has been great for mental ver a year, and my friend has had his for a couple, but ymmv

Phone case manufacturers just now figuring out good design for "Traditional" foldy devices

Source? I have a folding phone and every case I've seen or used is super frustrating

I don't use a foldable phone... But you can't put a tablet into your pocket. It's meant to be the dimensions of a phone, just much thicker, so it fits into your pocket, while letting you fold it out to have double the screen size. For all the issues they have, that's a very reasonable and somewhat appealing feature.
