Dumb Phones

Original gif:
Is the post animated too? Doesnt work for me
Yes, it's a gif.
ah that phone went a week without charging, which has as much to do with how much we used phones back as with how fast smart phones deplete battery.
Weird how my gameboy uses less battery than my tv
Your TV has batteries? 'Splain it to me Lucy!
This is the moment technology peaked

It needs a battery-backup for the built-in hot mike, storage and wifi. What if there was a power outage and somebody said something exploitable? It might miss something marketable. Or worse: viable blackmail.

Surely they at least thought about adding a thick border to prevent the screens from rubbing together, right?
The damage happens at the fold. Not sure anything can be done about that.
make a hinge that doesn't break and take out your fragile bendy screen?
there is a korean video where it broke in the same spot, and the part of the hinge that broke was very thin.
ffs, every other manufacturer has a fold phone, and none of them experience this high a failure rate, this quickly too.

We don't know what the failure rate is, as of yesterday there were "at least 10 different confirmed cases". And I remember Samsung also had similar issues on their first fold phone for example.
Either way fold phones are stupid as far as I'm concerned and never should've been invented. Just another way to part idiots and their money.

Tech Demos keep showing rollable screens, and those look way more interesting to me than foldable
But all the demos are still not what I want, I'd want it to go from pager sized to feature phone sized 
YES to pager sized phone!
I have little hands and don't want thumb tendonitis
I'm more interested in it taking less pant space, but I am glad there's others that want the same
Trying to get a < 6inch smartphone is almost impossible by now, and me and my stubbly fucking Fingers arent happy about it
If they weren't a bazillion dollars I would love a tri-screen foldable (if it supported Graphene).
Motorola makes foldables and they partnered with Graphene sooo...
I have my fingers crossed for a trifold from them. It might be the thing that finally gets me to upgrade.

For me it's the synchronized flipping
Lolnein has great animated songs btw. Including one for this comic
Phone design peaked with the Blackberry Pearl and we've been straying further from God's light each day since.
Nokia Candy Bar was a beacon until 5g

Rules
-
π Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
-
ποΈ Community Standards
- Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
- Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
- Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
- Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
-
𧬠Keep it Real
- Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
-
π½οΈ Credit Where Credit is Due
- Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
- Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
-
π Post Formatting
- Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
- Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
- When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
β Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
β Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
-
π¬ Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 π) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 π) will be removed.
-
π΄ββ οΈ Internationalization (i18n)
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
SΓ, por favor [Spanish/EspaΓ±ol]
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,

πΏ Moderation
- We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
- When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Banned Artists
The following artists are banned from the community.
- Jago
- Stonetoss
- GPrime85
It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.
Web Accessibility
Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.
When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:
Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)
