Feeling sad.. 😔
With #GrapheneOS announcing support for presumably more smartphones by #Motorola starting with with 2027 models, I can finally dream of getting a clamshell flip phone that combines good HW, a nice OS with a small form factor: #RazrUltra! 🎉🕺
However, with Google's new #desktopmode rolling out these days, it might probably worth to think about large folding phones like #RazrFold which might double as a notebook replacement using a BT keyboard & optional USB-C monitor connection. 🤔 It comes with more weight, size & a higher price tag. 🫣
My #Pixel8 will last a few more years anyway. It's more likely that the #OnePlus5 of my wife finally kicks the bucket so that she'll get the Pixel while I buy a Motorola.
Would you accept the downsides of the larger #Fold in order to replace your personal notebook? Would you be able to replace a #Linux desktop with an #Android? Well, at least there seems to be a native #Emacs for Android. Unsure if it'd provide same UX though.
None of my #phones had any display or other #hardware failure for basic functionality (except fingerprint reader on Pixel 4a but even that is most probably a SW issue since it occasionally works). 🤔

Even my #batteries lasted quite well until I replaced the phone. My #OnePlus5 (#LineageOS) is the daily driver of my wife & its battery still lasts a day. Maybe because of https://karl-voit.at/2015/07/29/Smartphone-battery/
The #Pixel4a battery got worse with 2024.
#Apple wird vermutlich mit dem #iPhone 17 was rausbringen, was mehr oder weniger meinem alten #OnePlus5 von 2017 oder meinem #Pixel4a von 2020 entspricht aber ein Mehrfaches kosten wird:
Wenn das einen Trend einläuten sollte, dass die Dinger allgemein wieder kleiner/dünner werden, soll's mir recht sein. Aber ich zahle dafür nicht unbedingt gleich Premium. 🤷
I used to be a @OnePlus user back in the day (#OnePlus5)... only just realised they make #mechkeys now.

Apparently, they're made by @keychronmk and just rebranded. I don't really use the function row so this is not for me. It does look quite nice with the grey + red look though!
Just popped outside, sky's looking quite pretty right now... Shot on my 6yr old #OnePlus5, tweaked with #lightroom app.
No moon this evening so it's beautifully dark, cold and crisp. Still blows my mind, looking at the night sky. Shot on my 6yr old #OnePlus5, tweaked with #lightroom mobile app.
