do not want. want removable and replaceable batteries and storage, also a headphone jack because fuck you.
Motorola has ⅔ of that on many models.
Removable battery not an option though.
I can hear the sand crunching.
My tender palm hurts just looking at this. I can feel the pinch.
I don’t understand the folding phone thing. It feels like tech now is all about creating ridiculous features and tech companies trying to convince us that we want them while ignoring things that would actually be worthwhile like repairable phones, headphones jacks and minimal bloatware.
I can actually see the value in a trifold like the one pictured. In your pocket it’s a phone. When you unfold it, it’s an iPad. You’re consolidating devices.
That said, I’m not a fan of folding lcd screen tech used today. It creases. I’d rather see three separate bezel-less screens that magnetically join to make a larger surface.
I see it the same way. I would love a tablet I could fit in my pocket.
All the things that used to break phones got fixed, mobile OS changes got smaller and smaller, designed obsolescence required something that would get people to buy a new phone every 18 months. So here’s a hinge. Here’s TWO hinges!
Clearly, so they could make an !oddlysatisfying@lemmy.world animation. I mean, practicality is obviously not a factor here.
Holding out for the Anne Frank Trapper Keeper phone.
Do you mean Lisa Frank, the artist for colorful animals on school supplies, and not Anne Frank, the famous diarist who was killed by the Nazis during the Holocaust?
Shit. That’s a big oops. Been a very long day.
Lmao thank you for leaving your comment unedited.
An Anne frank fold out phone would be a hell of an art piece. I think it could give Lisa Frank a run for her money.
Or, perhaps a mashup of both???
Phones are becoming the new wallets to the point we need something slimmer to pay with soon again.
I already pay with my watch.
I don’t need anything that is between my phone and my laptop in size.
My concession here would be wink devices, kindle voyage and an A4 device Fortnite taking. Don’t need them, but they are handy AF.
Phones are becoming the new wallets…
Now I want a phone case with a chain that attaches to my belt.
(Like the kind bikers and punks used to wear.)
Westworld here we come!
some origami sheet
Shit will get REALLY real when we reach five-fold! Or better yet, touch-papyrus! Just roll that meter-long flab of screen up, and you’re good to go!
i can only get so fucking soaking wet… literally can not wait.
The iScroll!
Whilst I agree the technology is awesome, £2,000 for a phone, wow, no thanks.
I wish this was closer to cheap than bat shit expensive.
Also, the only reason I’d want this is for native x64 emulation (which isn’t out of infancy) I had a laptop, my cellphone and my work laptop sprawled out today and this all could easily be 1 phone and 2 vms…
This is cool but what I really want are rollable screen phones like from Earth Final Conflict.
yay, it solves every non-existent problems!
