Why don't you own a foldable yet?
>>109512759No reason to have one.
>>109512759I have a razr
>>109512759Apple hasn’t made one yet.
>>109512759they cost money, and my imagination had improved in my 40's, so I can just sit around and ponder pretty much anything.
I live in a racially diverse metropolitan
>>109512780How is it? Ima buy one next year when graphene support lands
I'm living off savings, and the first tech purchase I make once I get a proper tech job is going to be another laptop, because the battery on mine is fucking dying.
>>109512759waiting for apple
>>109512759a laptop if you open-close too often, it will break a flexible. same problem with foldable phone.
>>109512804It's a 25 ultra with a clicks keyboard. Solid phone all around, got it in May last year for $1200. Now they cost about $700. I've had literally zero problems with it. The seam is basically invisible and the hinges are fine, performance is great, form factor is pretty great. The phone is completely usable when it is folded up, so you basically have a little mini phone you can do stuff with if you don't feel like opening it up at any given moment. Highly recommend, probably gonna upgrade to a 2027 with Graphene too.
>>109512851It's even worse, it will break the screen itself.
>>109512759at no point in 10 years have I said "gee I wish my phone were a bit bigger"
>>109512759I haven't been gifted one yet.
>>109512759waiting for apples third gen foldable by then i will have had my 16pro max for like 5 or 6 years and will need a replacement
>>109512955Never going to happen the foldable apple puts out this fall is the first and last of its kind. Storage and ram prices are going to enter a death spiral next year.
Man, the original galaxy fold aged like milk.
another layer of planned obsolescence designed to break in under 2 years of purchase, the same reason I don't own any cellphone
>>109513008Thanks for beta testing.
Oof, that does not look great. The front display is even more squarish than z fold 8's. It's going to be nigh unusable with many apps. I think Apple may have blundered here.
>>109512786>my imagination had improved in my 40's,Jeez Louise talk about being a late bloomer, so like how did it work before? You just stared at a wall or something?
>>109512759I prefer my screens attached to the rest of my phones.
>>109512759I have a tablet I use when I want something large
>>109513103When if you want something huge when you’re hiding in someone else’s closet jerking off?
>>109512759I think if I wanted something in that form factor, I'd get a designated e-ink e-reader
>>109512759I'm poor
>>109512759I have a laptop.
>>109512759I’m gay
>>109512759Use case?
>>109513183If you are prone to dropping your phones, or you simply want a bit more grip, sure.
>>109513183They are neat :)
>>109513183It’s nice and fun. :D
>>109513183churning through phones faster
>>109512759It's too expensive for something so unrealiable that also happens to cost a lot to repair if/when it breaks. I flirt with getting a used one for cheap just to scratch the itch though.
>>109512759Mail carrier is holding it hostage
>>109512759Ain't buying that fragile shit bro.
>>109513500The only fragile thing here is your ego.
They're great for starting fire when you're camping.
>>109513740>abloo bloo my cripple wife, trump bad>also more regulations good, choke out anyone from ever providing medical equipment monopolies are actually a good thing!
>>109513811trump is bad but his annoying cripple shithead wife is annoying af
>>109512759My basic bitch iphone 15 falls onto the pavement a few times a year and after 2 years of use has a single small groove on the screenI went through two folds in 6 months. Both I couldn’t even tell why they broke, I was babying them. They are too fragile to be used as phones by somebody who isn’t just NEETing at home all day. In the end I just bought a tablet for consooming media at a larger screen, I rarely need it when I’m out anywayThe crease is annoying af, too
>>109513839>I was babying themNo, you weren't. You have butter fingers. If I had to choose between you and a literal drooling retard with cerebral palsy to carry my phone for me, I would go with the 'tard ten times out of ten.
>>109512759already do twin fr
>>109512759I was considering buying a Razr mostly because I want a phone that I can easily use with one hand.
>>109512759I got a fold6. I'm waiting on the trifold2
>>109514040This is me.Also, the UDC needs to come back.
>>109512759that's a hingeable, it doesn't fold, it hinges
>>109513895Cope.
>>109512759I had a Galaxy Fold 5, hated how small the outside screen wasReplaced it with a Galaxy Fold 9, bigger outside screen but not big enough... Hinge failed under warranty (18 months) battery level unknown then wouldn't respond to touch when closed....Now Back on the S26 Ultra.
If I never close it will it never crease or do they come pre-creased?
>>109513183buzzwords
>>109512946
>>109513147even more of a reason to get one, don't ya think?
>>109512759>Why don't you own a foldable yet?They are not 16:9 and at the same time have GrapheneOS. That's it.
here's my foldable
>>109512759they have no use caseand i am not a colored
I've never seen a person unfold their foldable in public. They always seem too embarrassed.
>>109513008yeah my buddy got it, it was so fucking stupid, then after a few months of usage he opens it and hears a crack at the top of the screen, he keeps opening it and it progressed downwards like a zipperit was still very much on warranty, he got rid of the fucking thing and got himself top of the line samsung galaxy insteadfew months pass, he starts shaking his gallaxy and getting mega annoyed that the lens inside the camera is clacking very loudly like it fell off the rails and is just rattling. Phone still focuses when the electromagnets are on but when off its making a noise like theres a loose screw inside lmfaorefuses to get an iphone
>>109512759Way ahead of you buddyI had a galaxy z fold 3 eons ago and have avoided them like the plague ever since
>>109512759>doesn't have sd slot>doesn't have 3.5mm jackSHAN'TBEBUYING
I want smaller phones not bigger.
>>109512759>crease>hole in the screen>no SD card slot
>>109512759I'm waiting for Apple to show everyone the correct way to do it.
>>109512759Because I am clever
>>109512759don't need it, don't want it
I've been using a pixel 9 fold since it launched
still on my pixel 6 but ill get whatever the latest samsung or pixel foldable is in a couple of months because i want a much bigger screen now that i ssh back to my pc a lot to direct my vibeslop
>>109512759My iphone 13 mini still werks.
>>109512813replace your battery, champ
>>109515255They're gonna be manufactured india and come with pajeet poop particles smeared all over them.
>>109512759Because I have a PC/TV if I need a bigger screen.I don't see the use case for a foldable outside unless you have a engineer, architect-type job...
>>109513183Faggot doomscrolling and slurping more AI Goyslop
>>109512759I just want a normal phone with 16:9 because they will never make a 3:2.
>>109513198>If you are prone to dropping your phonesI'm not a roastieseriously though, have you EVER seen a guy with a cracked phone screen?
Like it or not, but foldables are getting more and more popular every year. It was not a fad and it's never going away.
>>109512759As impressive as the hardware is, I literally can't think of any reason why I would want to use the tablet form.Having most recently bought a big phone again, I think I will be going back to a smaller phone for my next one. But that's a few years away.
>>109512782tpbp
>>109514919Really cool, anon. I was thinking of getting a Nokia 2780 for myself
>>109512759i dont like phones and dont use them. if i did though, i would like a foldable
>>109512860fuck, I just bought a new phone less than a year ago. I don't want to be suckered in to getting another new one.But then again, I also really miss my old Unihertz titan.then again, then again, I've got a phone with a stylus and headphone jack right now, and don't really like the idea of losing them.Maybe we really do need the /g/phone with a built in floppy disk reader.
This makes me moist.
>>109512759>why dont you own a plastic screen phonebecause I did in 2009 and they sucked ass
>>109512759I have since 2024
>>109512759Screen creases and non-flatness. I really can't stand any aberration on my screens surface. I've replaced multiple LCDs for minor backlight issues.
>>109517611They were fine. Obviously not as good as glass but flip phones function fine with plastic
>>109514289How did you own something that comes out next year for 1.5 years?
>>109512759I've had my OnePlus Open for years though...
>>109512759>yetworking under a false assumption buddy.
Square is such a shitty aspect ratio.
>>109518071I can't believe Samsung chickened out with including the under display camera after one minor lawsuit
>>109518090The punch hole camera is fucking awful. Looks like the screen is broken. Fuck patent trolls.
>>109512759because they're dumb
Reminder that the first foldable phone came out 8 years ago.
>>109512759I don't like creases down the middle of my screen, and anyway those folding screens won't be durable enough to survive my standard ~5 years of use for a device.
i don't want to sound like a high grape kinda guy. but it feels like a compromise between a proper cell phone and a tablet.
I don't see the point for these smartphones, I prefer a tablet if I want a bigger screen and for watching videos I have more than enough with a smartphone.
>>109512759i have a fold6
>>109520236The crease is such an overblown issue. You only see it when you look at it from an angle. When you look at it directly, you don't notice it at all.
>>109520251that's the point, it's a compromise that allows you to carry (and charge) one device instead of twoif you get the right one then they're completely fine as regular phones, i went from a z50s pro (chink brick) to a fold6 and i actually like the fact that it's narrower, makes it easier to hold and swipe-type with one hand
Unless the post office fucks me over, I should get my Fold 8 tomorrow.
>>109520281I would have preferred a smaller tablet instead
>>109512759I’m waiting for the $2k iPhone ultra that will launch at $3k due to memory prices and then be scalped for $5k to lel at it
>>109520962>buying first gen experimental foldable device from applelgrim
>>109512759why would i?
Hate the crease
>>109513183they will put ads on a side
>>109521274Open your hand and look at your palm.
>>109512759why do that when you can have a tablet for that and you have a normal smartphone? It's like creating something for uses not needed, most are glued to their smartphones, they might have a tablet or they might just have a laptop which are all portable. This is like an inbetween gimmick that has few uses really.
>>109523044>they might have a tablet or they might just have a laptop which are all portableNot in the same sense that phones are. To take a tablet or a laptop with you, you need something to carry them with, creating unnecessary burden. You are also very limited in where you can use them. Nobody is going to take off their backbag and dig out their huge-ass tablet in the middle of a street to just quickly check something.
>>109512759had a z flip 4 for 4 years then screen sharted itself randomly. loved that phone and i was sad when it noped itself out. couldn't find a zf 7 or oppo find n or any other foldables anywhere where i live so i got an iphone air.
>>109512759>Why don't you own a foldable yet?I live above the arctic circle and folding displays don't like cold weather. They drastically lose flexibility and durability in temps below 0c. And it's a lot colder than that here in the winter.
>>109512759tech not there yet. just let social whore normies invest into them, have them break on them, tech improves, get working product in 10 years, profit
>>109524071We're on the 8th generation of Samsung foldables, they're mainstream now.
>>109512759I fiddled a little with my friends new Samsung something foldable he got a few months ago. Instantly hated it. The soft screen is disgusting and the fucking crease ignited my autism at dangerous levels. Also couldn't figure out a single fucking reason what I would use it for. My Pixel 9 Pro XL is already large enough for watching Youtube/twitch when I'm taking a shit.
>>109515255Pedophile
>>109512759>Why don't you own a foldable yet?i still have some dignity
