Ugh can we just agree that foldy phones are just an altogether dumb idea? I want my phone to have as few moving parts as possible.
SolivineNo, being able to change size is practical and convenient, there’s a reason people buy them despite the technology being so new
I like it when my phone screen doesn’t get a weird little delaminated ridge though
benI think the idea is that the tech will improve. The flaws aren’t features, they’re problems to work out.
They’ve had these things for like 6-8 years or so now and it’s the same problem
The same problem, but is has dramatically improved. Comparing the visibility and feel of the ridge on foldable phones from even two years ago to today is night and day. My roommate has the newest Samsung Flip and even coming directly from my phone its hardly noticeable.
kevincoxSo then don’t buy a folding phone until they make that better.
No one is saying that everyone should having a folding phone. But it seems obvious that the ability to have a large screen that fits in your pocket is a great feature that many people value. There are downsides, but for some people the upsides outweigh them. For other people (like you) they don’t and you can continue to get a non-folding phone.
Uh… yeah. That’s why I’ve never bought one.
Yeah but folding screens though. I was never that interested, but then I held one with my own eyes and I instant got the merit if it. I don’t need one, but if I had Beyonce money I would for sure want one.
If you had Beyonce money, you wouldn’t even have a phone. You would have a team of people who deal with phones for you.
