Samsung in a panic?? Every foldable screen is manufactured by Samsung afaik.
IIRC display and chip manufacturing are basically treated like separate businesses from the phones as a product. And all the other companies foldables are better than Samsung's (imo at least) because they haven't innovated or improved in several generations.
Not disagreeing, but the other foldables claiming no crease are bs from what I've seen.
Has anyone noticeably innovated? Genuinely curious
Idk about no crease but Samsung's appear to be the most noticeable from what I've actually seen. I think other manufacturers have improved on this over time but I haven't seen anything newer than my Pixel Fold in person.
And at a cost of 5000 plus probably
I'd be hyped anyway. Not because I want to buy one now, but because it's possible (and I might buy one in like a decade when they're affordable)
Rollable phones are such insanely sci-fi-y things
And will still have that awful GN3 sensor on the primary rear camera. Xiaomi were using a Sony sensor of the same size on the Redmi Note 12 Pro a phone that cost somewhere around $200-300 depending on the region it was sold back in 2022 and 2023.
Warning on the box:
Not suitable for households with pets or young kids.
I don't iron my t-shirts, so I'm not going to start ironing my phone.
I'm not a Samsung fan by any stretch, but this I would love to see.
After a decade of identical rectangles it's nice to see some crazy shit again
I'm waiting for the Samsung Kickable Phone, so I can have a game of footy with the mates whilst shouting out my pizza order.
I've always wanted a real life "Global" from Earth Final Conflict. Can't wait to find out how badly I won't be able to afford it π
I've been saying it for years, recreate the Global, god damnit! Best sci-fi tech ever.
What does that mean, I can roll it up like a wizard's scroll? But I don't want to carry that around except as a novelty.
Perfect, just what I wanted, to have to pull out and unroll my smartphone before each use, and then to roll it back up when finished
I'm hoping it's spring loaded and makes that scroll "fwip-fwip-fwip-fwip" noise.
If it's like a retractable tape measure, just press the button and get that satisfying retraction action in a jiffy.
I was hoping more like a slap bracelet
Ahhhhhh, snap, that would be dope! Doubles as a wearable watch!
goddamnit it's stuck this piece of shit it never goes back in right
I think it's neat. Like reading a scroll or something
I just want a hardware keyboard.... My key2 is slowly dying of old age....
Unihertz sells a couple of Android 11 phones with physical keyboards.
You are totally right.. Android 11 is better than android 8 but they dont get any more updates either.. So it feels like i just exchange one with another
Android 11 is still capable of updating some core system components through Project Mainline, as opposed to Android 8 which is completely dead. But yeah I agree that it's probably not worth "upgrading" to those Unihertz devices. I was sharing more so it would be on your radar if they ever release a newer model.
I still thank you for sharing. It will be my last resort if my key2 is really dying...
It might not be your thing, but there is also a minimalist phone from a startup shipping later this year that has a physical keyboard. And there is also the Clicks keyboard case, which currently only supports iPhones but may release for some Android phones in the future.
Do they make add-on keyboards for phones that fold over the screen like the ones for Surface-style tablets?
Rollies? Can I smoke them?
