Notable bits:
Next year, Huawei and Samsung plan to introduce more competitively priced foldable phones, and other Android manufacturers are expected to follow suit, driving accelerated expansion in the foldable phone market.
Recent reports from industry insiders suggest that Huawei’s development of a triple-foldable screen phone is progressing smoothly and may be ready for launch before March next year. It’s expected that two triple-foldable screen phones will be introduced in 2024.
Supply chain sources have also revealed that Samsung is planning to bring foldable phones to the mid-range market next year, further reducing price barriers and making foldable phones more accessible to a broader range of consumers.
It definitely can, IF the prices become affordable and they ALL get a large, square outer display.
Those round displays are useless and take away the benefit of the folding screen - the ability to check and respond without opening the phone.
They also need a headphone jack, especially if they plan to price them affordably. This small sized device is the ideal form factor for a headphone jack because it would be an iPod in your pocket or on your desk. It just suits the form factor perfectly.
So me not wanting to upgrade my pixel 6a to a pixel 8 because it works just fine is a problem for the global Smartphone economy? Fuck these guys. I want hardware that lasts and doesn’t end up in a landfill. I don’t give a shit if these executives can’t buy a third yacht or another tennis court in their back yard, I’m going to stick with what works. The hypocrisy of these kinds of articles is disgusting at best and immoral at worst.
No lol
