New Samsung Origami phone. Each fold is a new dimension of value!
I had a folding phone back in the day. I think they’re called feature phones now. I preferred it over my Nokia because it was harder to accidentally call someone or make weird noises.
Four-dimensional hyperphone
I don’t know why people bother to buy foldable phones, if you want bigger screen just buy tablet…smh…
Tablet has bigger screen plus it’s cheaper than buying foldable phones
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.
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 have one of those who fold along the longer side or the shorter one?
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
Why have a phone with a screen? Just use your computer if you need it, smh 🤦
Why have a phone at all? Just ask a friend to use theirs if you need it 🤷♂️ or maybe write a fucking letter for once? Damn kids…
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 now.
tablet screen size is okay, but really the people who want bigger screens should be buying tvs. not to mention they have the advantage of being cheaper than tablets. but even tv screens can only get so big. a really cost effective way to get a big screen would just be to go to a movie theater. that’s like 10 dollars(?) for 2 hours of access to a huge screen.
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!
