No word on if it's coming to the EU :(

My pixel 6 is dying and I'd like to get something for graphene or another less monopolized distro but there's no support for phones released this year as far as I can tell from most distros so I'm looking for one more normal phone until hopefully that ecosystem is better off.

Even the new pixels look weak from several angles It was hard to get want them after all the reviews came in.

This is going to end up like the number of razor blades on disposable razors isn’t it?

Because when you break it, the repair costs will keep funneling money back to them. I guess.

More unfixable crap for a world drowning in crap. Hooray!

Yeah, even as a foldable enthusiast, I see no reason for this to exist. A second hinge is just another failure point.

Wake me up when the first cylindrical, rollable phone comes out. Until then, I'm happy with my Fold 7.

Considering everyone I know with a folding phone has had a fault with the folding part of it - I don't think its the best idea from a durability standpoint to add yet another folding part.

If one screen or fold point breaks, you're now left with two unusable (but perfectly functioning) screens. Seems like an expensive gimmick to me.

Then they can replace more devices. Capitalism at work

Huawei: Fuck everything, we're doing five folds.

Imagine the possibilities!

  • Heated camping mattress
  • Sausage roll warmer
  • Car windscreen defroster

I won't buy a phone with any fewer than 16 folds.

Woah, I cant believe Samsung created something that Huawei released over a year ago (I do belive the Huawei Mate XT Ultimate was the first tri folding phone although it didnt release outside china)

I know a person who has some Samsung foldable phone that is as of right now (2025.12.03) about a year old. According to them, everything was fine since February when the phone was bought. But last week we got below 0C weather, so the fold line on the screen got layers separated.

Z Fold 7 is 2000 euro. They might have Z Fold 6, I am not sure. Regardless, that is way too expensive of a phone to breaks under a mildly cold weather.

Pretty soon Samsung is going to release a foldable that can become an imax screen. You just need to unfold it 1000 times, and you're set. It also needs to be unfolded 4 times to be able to answer a call, or use the 1.2 back screen to do that.

When in doubt, just add more fold.

For God's sake, people want a keyboard on a phone not more folds. Add a keyboard & become a hero.

[-] MurrayL@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Sales figures and market trends suggest most people do not, in fact, want a keyboard.

You might want a keyboard on your phone. Lots of people here might want a keyboard on their phone. People on Lemmy are not most people.

I don't want large phones that get even larger. I want a large phones that becomes smaller for my pocket.

[-] Psythik@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Get a Fold 7. It's the same size as your average flagship when folded. But be warned: Once you get used to having a tablet in your pocket, there's no going back. It's especially great for restaurant menus, mobile games, and YouTube.

[-] jbaber@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 weeks ago

This is why I got a Razr. Once the technology becomes common, I dream of a regular size phone that shrinks to a matchbook or something.

[-] ThePrimitive@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

I want a large phone that gets larger but the larger screen is an e-reader.

Yawn. Samsung can have more money and attention from me when theyhave something i want. Give it 5 years.

A few ideas: A) projector! They are like $99 on Amazon now, put in phone. B) and app that pairs w Google glasses to count calories and nutrition of everything I eat all day. C) faraday cage setting D) no bloatware C) idk, im content... anyone else have ideas?

[-] GenosseFlosse@feddit.org 1 points 2 weeks ago

If a projector is $99 it's rubbish. And what kind of light source would fit into a cellphone that is bright enough to throw a picture from 2m away from the wall, possibly during day light hours, without eating the battery in 5 mins?

You know, it’s like 3 screens, so they can push you triple the amount of ads and bloat ware! Yay!
