😲 Zorro is real!

Behold, the iRoll!

Imagine a phone you literally scroll.

I think LG had a parent to get that on the works. Roll up phone seems like the ultimate phone honestly. Whatever size you want or need at the time otherwise it's a cylinder like a day sharpie

That would finally be a convention to replace slamming the phone down in rage.

Not sure if we're talking about phone, razor blade, origami, or sword-making.

I'm waiting for the twelvefold myself

The Samsung Origami

6 little Samsungs twirling on a branch

Eating lots of iPhones on my uncles ranch

You know that old children's tale from the sea

Redundancy!

My first tablet had a 7" screen. Huawei Mate 70 Air is 7"

Wow, haven’t seen anyone use ‘phablet’ for years!

That's absolutely phabulous!

My understanding is that's normal on all foldable. It can be more or less, but it's on all of them.

It's not a problem, it's a business opportunity. The more they break, the more they can sell you a 2000 dollars phone.

If I saw that obvious issue, what is their fucking problem?

The engineer's problem is that the marketing and sales department started running all of the companies two decades ago. So, they're constantly overruled.

and you don't want it full of scratches, since cover glasses and protection cases will probably be quite complicated for these monstrosities?

?

Perfect for snortin’ lines lol

Same here. I didn't understand why anyone would want a double thick (or now triple thick 🫨) phablet that folds out into a full tablet.

The razr I bought two years ago is the first phone that comfortably fits in my pocket in like a decade.

Yes, but they still have problems. But I'm noticing a trend in foldable phone designs, and I'm worried that by the time foldable phones get really good, the ones that fold smaller aren't around anymore.

Huh... That's not a bad idea, actually.

Android version? and how long will the updates continue ? User or new?

Folding phones are so expensive that I consider it mandatory to have insurance. Samsung Care Plus, in Samsung's case. I switched to a pixel pro fold so I could use Graphene and got whatever googles insurance plan is.

Good to know. Almost bought a Fold 6 but decided to fork over the dough for a Fold 7 instead (mainly cause I love how it's as thin and light as any other phone when folded).

Thanks for making me feel a lot better about dropping $2K on this fucking thing. Best phone I've ever owned but I paid out the ass for the privilege.

Fool! This is the only folding phone any true man could need

I had my fold 3 for 4 years and my wife used it to get a feel for them after me and she very quickly got a 5. I had some of the paint chip off in places after a few years and one time that i got scared by something and jumped a bit and threw it out of my hand to the ground with the inner screen open (only cosmetic damage to the body) it survived a lot. A hell of a lot of engineering went into the hinge so its pretty much the strongest part of the phone. Jerryrigeverything on youtube has tried to snap these phones and they are very strong and so far have not broken in one of his tests.

Any phone can break, but i say if you care for your phone it should last. The 3 onwards have been really solid phones and the fears around them, to me, seem made up.

Yes. There's a crease in the middle of the screen.

But its invisible to the user when looking at the screen.

It doesnt impact using the screen.

Its barely there on the latest fold 7. Definitely more prominent as you go back through the versions. Regardless i have owned 3 generations of the phone and used my wife's one so 4 generations total and the crease doesn't matter. Hasnt mattered on any of them.

What do you think the problem is with there being a crease? What practical issue does it raise? Or is it purely an aesthetic issue? Becaus3 if it is, like i said, you cant see it when you are the one using it.

Fold 7 owner here and I can confirm that the crease is invisible during normal use. You have to purposely angle your phone in unnatural directions under a light to see it. My last phone was a Fold 4 and it was definitely visible then. Not anymore.
