Huawei: Fuck everything, we're doing five folds.

[–] blackn1ght@feddit.uk 3 points 1 month ago

Imagine the possibilities!

  • Heated camping mattress
  • Sausage roll warmer
  • Car windscreen defroster

Actually not the first tri-folded phone, but OK

Pretty soon Samsung is going to release a foldable that can become an imax screen. You just need to unfold it 1000 times, and you're set. It also needs to be unfolded 4 times to be able to answer a call, or use the 1.2 back screen to do that.

When in doubt, just add more fold.

I actually like this idea. It provides more girth for when I make pro-Google threads on Lemmy, set notifications to vibrate and shove the phone in my asshole.

Sticking with my pixel 3a xl running ubuntu touch/waydroid for a while it seems.

Bring back netbooks you cowards.

Woah, I cant believe Samsung created something that Huawei released over a year ago (I do belive the Huawei Mate XT Ultimate was the first tri folding phone although it didnt release outside china)

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 1 month ago

One plus also have been making fold phones for a while too.

This technology is wasted on smartphones. We need this on laptop screens.

[–] Baggie@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 month ago

Oh, like a laptop that unfolds into an ultra wide?

cant wait for the TeleVone^TM^. a phone that flips to the size of a full 4k television

[–] devolution@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

1K per screen according to Sammy.

This is going to end up like the number of razor blades on disposable razors isn’t it?

And who asked for it? They very well know that nobody will buy that.

Just get a tablet at this point.

Can use it to play D&D.

No word on if it's coming to the EU :(

My pixel 6 is dying and I'd like to get something for graphene or another less monopolized distro but there's no support for phones released this year as far as I can tell from most distros so I'm looking for one more normal phone until hopefully that ecosystem is better off.

Even the new pixels look weak from several angles It was hard to get want them after all the reviews came in.

Lemme know when they are able to fold a phone 13 times and break the record.
