why do people still not realize that this thing is just a gimmick years after its release compared to folding phone?

>>105568343 (OP)
but gimmick phones are great and we should have more of them

Someone translate what the jeet is saying, please. He is showing an image of a foldable phone but referring to it as if it were a separate thing?

>>105568353
OP is perfectly clear.
>referring to it as if it were a separate thing?
ESL detected.

I think this one has two seperate screens instead of one that folds in the middle.

Thank you.

Flat rectangle for life here, foldables were great before smartphones.

Yeah actually. What’s the use case for a half-sized phone that can turn into a regular-sized phone but with subpar specs?

>>105569177
My dad wanted one because it was pocketable.

>>105569177
Only the outer screen breaks when the phone inevitably falls on concrete floor.

>We want cool phones back
>WHY DO YOU KEEP RELEASING THIS GIMMICK
k? ys.

Does your dad wear women’s jeans? You can pocket pretty much every phone, even with tech companies shitting out phablets bigger than last year’s

>>105569342
I didn't delve into it. He gave up on it anyways since it was too expensive.

Phones are already oversized, it's the Fold that's a gimmick

I will buy a folding phone when
>I can buy it, mistreat it like shit and it will work like new after 6-10 years after I bought it used
>price would be $800 max as new, $400 max as used after 6 months from release
>official LineageOS support
>inside display is 16:9, no rounded corners, no (even under display) camera, holes or notch
>battery life is good as Android tablets have (no, the large screen is not reason for shit battery life. make it thicker until it has same battery life like tablets have)

sovvl

i just want a nice folding/flip phone that is
>as kino as the old walkman phones with kino animations and ui
>around 4 inches
>headphone jack
>no cameras
so I can use it just to sms/call and listen to spotify for music. everything else like cameras are a bloat

>>105570520
Foldable screens just don't last and that will probably never change.
Aliexpress is selling damaged screens I shit you not because even those have market because of high failure rate of those phones.

>>105570520
trifold?

I hope this becomes normal for non folding devices too. If I had an old dead device I only needed to access once to recover data I would buy one of these.

That's an issue that's better solved via giving every phone video out and OTG capabilities, it's useful normally, and also saves you in that scenario

Still using mine daily. Its gimmick is quite useful actually. small when you need it small. large when you need it large. oversized phones are annoying in pockets. and small phones are unusable due to sausage fingers
