Fold tech still ain't there. Especially with regards to durability. But that's part of the point, they need you to replace your phone on the regular.
Eh, the fold part has been durable for me, despite me constantly dropping it. Did manage to crack the non-fold screen though.
Eh, I've had two Razrs now. First one the outer screen died from a fall - it was the traditional style screen that wasn't durable.
Maybe it's worse on Pixels or Samsungs, but my anecdotal experience has been that the inner flexible screen has been better than the outer one.
My inner screen finally broke a couple months ago. It is pretty scammy but it seems to have lasted a while. I'm curious how long the rest of the phone is going to last in this state because I'm not shelling out for repairs on a phone I bought second hand
Was hoping for something like this.
I like the idea of fold tech but I just wish it unfolded to a proper aspect ratio.
Imagine an iPhone that unfolds into an iPad.
Edit: just looked it up, it’s 4:3, which is not bad but imo it’s also not good
I'm the kind of contrarian who thinks we should have stuck with 4:3 in general, it's a better framing for a lot of content and it also makes the vertical video problem a lot less annoying in my view.
It is literally the aspect ratio of every iPad, though 😅
Something like 16:10 or 16:9 would make it very square when folded. IMO the most satisfying aspect ratio would be √2:1, like A4 paper, so that the aspect ratio when closed and open is the same.
iPhone Duo literally has an aspect ratio of 1.4:1 (√2:1) both when closed and open.
It is actually closer to √ 2 as it’s stated as 1.4:1 on both screens, so slightly wider than iPad unfolded
Well shit that shows how little I know about tablets
You know, I hope this becomes something people like, cause why not, we need some tech wins these days.
The problem with that is that nobody wants an 8:9 screen for the folded in form factor
Yeah, give me a long boi 16:5
I think the durability is the limiting factor in regards to foldable tech as it stands right now
Context?
New phone comes out (this case I-phone) then the first week is tech youtubers start glacing it to no ends (because money) & than the second or third week it's all about testing the phones durability.
But will it blend?
Ah, thanks mate.
