Fold 8 is a tempting phone to get. Form factor and size is nice and having that option to unfold for a bigger screen is tempting is pretty neat but $1900 USD is a hell of a price to ask, same goes for the Apple foldable since thats rumoured to be $2500.

What are the chances the form factor becomes cheaper over the years? I can legitimately see it catching on as a mainstream body especially with Samsung and Apple pushing their Passport style foldables onto the Western market this year.

iPhone

>>109389387
At least for my own personal use don't care for an iPhone. Tend to buy them as gifts for family since its perfect for them but iPad > iPhone when it comes to day to day use. I just stick to my Android for phone and iPadOS for my tablet.

Is buying a refurbished flip foldable from Back Market a meme

Kinda tempted even knowing I'll probably get sick of the gimmick soon

>>109389421
Which Flip specifically? I'd avoid the Flip 5 at this point since most of them have been breaking for most people this year. The Flex cable they used in that one for some reason has been failing.

>>109389429
Flip 7. Was hoping to mainly use the cover screen as a substitute for a compact phone, since there aren't really any compact Androids left.

I'm not a power user (just YouTube, 4chan, and music), but spending that much money for three screens seems wasteful.

>>109389447
Flip 7 is fine for the time being depending on the cost and condition. As someone who uses a Flip it's a nice little phone but you do get over its gimmick pretty fast. It's more of a funny little feature that catches people's attention because while Samsung has sold more foldables over the year its not really that common. Everyone either as a S24-26 or an iPhone. That being said I would say the Wallet app has a lot of work to do to catch up to Apple's Wallet.

Are the Sony Xperia the only remain good phones without anticonsumer practices?

Does this just mean "still have features I want because most of the consumer base walked away from said features"? As far as SD/Jack goes I do think anything remotely close to Flagship with those features is solely Sony yes.

Xperia phones ship with no charger and no USB cable, offer like 3 years of software support, have shitty cameras, buggy software, lock hardware features behind a subscription paywall, cost $1600 and aren't available outside of Asia and Europe

They used to ship with a charger, cable, and one time a pair of $10 headphones. They are expensive though and sometimes require a firmware upgrade (whenever they feel like it) to get on specific US mobile bands, otherwise you're stuck on a lesser network and WILL have poopoo reception. I've had Xperia phones since the Miro (absolute KINO), and last one was the 5 IV. Too many issues, fingerprint support gone with an update, mobile US bands not supported, camera SHOULD be great but its shit. Video recording is great though. Went with a meme phone (nothing 3) and regret it, but it was 800 dollars less than the latest Xperia.

It’s been 8 years and they’re still expensive. not even Motorola’s is cheap. it’s not getting cheaper ever.

>>109390300
To be fair, the phone is from South Korea.

>>109390286
The small one? Most early reviews seem to say the form factor is great for ebooks and mangas so I will assume yes.

>>109390192
Other flagships aren't cheaper though. What's worse is that they don't even compete on features or design, with the rare exception of foldables, which are even more expensive.

Just trying to buy some phones for my girlfriend and our kid, both of their phones are on their deathbed. Money is tight right now so trying to get something that will last them awhile for under $200. I've got my choices narrowed down to the below but if other anons have other recs I'd appreciate it.

>Moto G Power 5G 2024: ~$130 (New)
>Google Pixel 6a: ~$150 (Refurbished)
>Samsung Galaxy A15 5G: ~$180 (New)
>Xiaomi Poco M6 Pro 5G: ~$150 (New)
>Apple iPhone 13: ~$230-260 (Refurbished)

>>109394406
Naturally, I guess your kid wants an iPhone because that’s the most popular among them but you should ask just to make sure if that’s something you’re looking to do unless it’s a surprise and for your girlfriend honestly you gotta figure out what would fit her the best I mean, you spend the most time with her too, so it shouldn’t be that difficult, but you did narrow it down to a bunch of good choices in my honest opinion

>>109394406

try ebay or local sales like with offerup and craigslist since you run into people who want quick cash rather than people who are used to the second hand market and know how to maximize profits
on offerup alone i found multiple s25 ultras for $500 or less which the trade in alone gives you $720 on samsungs site so finding cheaper phones will be easy at that price mark as long as you make sure the phones not stolen or blacklisted

Could always trade it in and just pay a bit more in the long run. That said I personally find the Trifold to be a bit much. Do you really want to have that much potential screen space? Realistically even the Fold 8/Fold 8 Ultra is just a true luxury purchase given stuff like the iPhone 17 Pro Max and the S26 are standard phones for most.

Just bought the Honor Magic 8 Pro and the Magic Pad 4 (w/ case and pen) for £1250.

I'm in the market for a new phone, want to get a foldable for the first time.
Budget being no matter, would you recommend the Z Fold8 Ultra or should I just wait for the Pixel 11 Pro Fold?

>>109400339
I'd go for either the regular Fold 8 or wait for the iPhone Foldable. Really just pick what you prefer OS wise. Form factor is better unless you really want a 200MP camera.

>>109400349
The main draw to Pixel for me was GrapheneOS usage but I'm not dead set on it.
Why the regular Fold 8 over the Ultra?

>>109400362
Best of both worlds size wise. You have a small little phone for quick ease of access but not so small that the cover screen isnt limited to pre-approved apps but you can unfold to a bigger screen if you need the space. Same applies to the iPhone one coming out. It also lends itself well to single hand use, videos and eBooks. The Fold 8 Ultra, which I'll admit I ordered myself, isnt really single hand friendly and has massive black bars with videos regardless of the fold/unfolded state.

Personally I've only used a iphone 13 pro max when I sent my android for repairs.
And honestly It wasn't very good.
First of all there's no universal back gesture/button like with android, you'll have to guess It with each app you're using, when trying to exit the keyboard, when trying to exit the image zoom on twitter, when trying to go back on the web browser, when trying to exit a WhatsApp chat, etc. It's probably the BIGGEST and most frustrating headache I had while using that phone.
Also there's a lot of other things

use case for fold able screens?

>THE CREASE THE CREASE THE CREASE
I have no idea why anyone who so much as touches a foldable cares. When the screen is on you can't see it unless you're purposely angling the phone to look for it.

I bet the guy who constantly complains about Samsung in these threads (supposed creases in Samsung foldable displays, and supposed failures of Samsung phones) is the same guy who constantly shills Chinese phones (RedMagic and so on)

Probably a Chinese Communist Party employee getting paid to insult non-Chinese phones and promote Chinese phones
