My fold3 had metal missing from the hinge from dropping it and it still worked pefectly until I sold it 3 years in. You aren't going to see people making posts about how their fold didn't break
You'd really be surprised, I don't even use cases unless I want magsafe mount-ability in my car. Plenty of drops and abuse
I guess if phones turn into all-in-one devices we could need more power, but I haven't noticed any change in gaming performance for generations of snapdragon. Always locked at 60 fps.
I guess efficiency is always welcome
Chinese ones are literally the thickness of an iPhone, when folded. With bigger batteries too! SiC tech we don't have in the US yet.
It's wild how foldables were just weird and cumbersome, and all of a sudden are "ready". My fold3 was so goofy in retrospect. Me OPO has fooled people into thinking it's a regular phone when just sitting on a table a few times
S9 was a great year for Samsung. But yeah that's getting up there in age lol. Would be in 2nd grade if it were a kid 😂
Check the used market, mine was $900 mint condition on swappa. I figure the Open 2 is coming out Q1, so I bet the price will drop to <$700 soon
Gross. Then why not buy the ~~$3400~~ $9000 Huawei XT? It's like the price of a used car
If they want new tech why get on an iPhone program? They are withholding progress to give a slow trickle over time. I guarantee I could not tell the difference between the last 3 years of iPhones if you put them in front of me.
Bro they are ready. Check out the OnePlus Open. Typing this on my outer-screen now, it's very comfortable and feels like a normal iPhone closed.
I bought it second hand and the screens are still flawless. I do not baby my phones. It is currently case-less
The crease is practically non existent, I constantly get comments on that. I think people are used to how Samsung's folds have a deep valley crease.
The cameras are better than the Galaxy S23 Ultra I tried for a couple weeks. Video quality is iPhone level or better
I can believe why you think that if you use iPhones. Foldables are out here completely changing the game. Apple will make one in 2030 I'm sure
Who are these people? All my friends and family keep phones for 3-5 years. Im the "new phone" guy and I'm on a 3 year schedule
We are "there" with processing power IMO. Form factor is the next evolution. Try a foldable and find out that regular phones are so limiting.
I can legit get work done. Two or three apps comfortably shown. (Teams, tickets, admin console)
I just moved and reading/signing docs on a big screen was so helpful.
navigation with an 8in screen is objectively better. Can even split screen with Spotify or the message thread with whoever I am visiting/meeting.
tripod for taking pics. I use this SO much. Along with selfies using the main cameras
I tried to go from fold 3 to S23U and gave it to my mom after 2 weeks. Right back to foldables with OnePlus Open. Takes even better pics
I just moved to TX from VA and it's wild how hard they make it to vote here. VA was so freaking simple and easy.
Hoping to blueify Texas a teeny bit but will have to wait until next election
Can we just let the leaders duke it out? 1 on 1 knife fights. Leave the people out of this shit
