I have a foldy phone, I’m never going back.

if you want bigger screen just buy tablet…smh

I did, multiple times, sooo many times in all manner of price points, sizes, brands and even OSs (I’ve got fucking Windows tablets WITH cellular FFS just chilling in archive). Do you know what happened to them? They started collecting dust within a couple weeks

I don’t want to carry multiple devices, even when I do want to I can never get the habit to stick, so I never have the tablet when I need it the most

My foldy phone solves that issue immediately, it’s a phone when I need a phone and a tablet when I need a tablet.

Do you have one of those who fold along the longer side or the shorter one?

I have the book-style pixel 9 pro fold.

The clam-shell style is truly a gimmicky nostalgia-grab IMO

I’m just curious

Does the screen vertical folding bulge area (idk if it has its own name) somehow get in the way during day-by-day usage?

Do you mean the crease? Nah, I hardly notice it, I used to feel it when sliding my finger across one side to the next like to drag and drop things, but after awhile I stopped noticing that to

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.

If they can make one with the same width/height as the XL (big hands, too many typos on the small screen keyboard), for under 1500, id probably go for it

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.
