And unlike its predecessors, the battery gets punctured at the point of structural failure and combusts
I'm upset that they'll make foldable screens before adding a physical keyboard "because movable parts break too often".
I don't see what would be the value in that anymore. I didn't use a phone with a physical keyboard in a while but I think a virtual 3x3 keyboard would be more comfortable.
I mean a folding screen is just so much cooler than a keyboard
ಠ_ಠ
I mean am I wrong tho like that's some star wars shit
I think cooler is subjective. With a physical keyboard back in the day and Remote Desktop, I had a pocket-sized Windows PC with me at all times. With SSH, I had a portable terminal I could easily administer servers around the world with. I thought that was pretty cool.
Now I'm tap typing on a device with no physical feedback where the keyboard hides half the screen and reshuffles my terminal output every time said keyboard is shown and hidden. That's not cool at all.
I have a foldable Bluetooth keyboard that I sometimes use with an ssh app on my phone
Try using it standing up.
Yeah but like the screen folds. I agree that the keyboard has some uses. The folding screen doesn't really or not nearly as many it's just novelty cool. I personally don't have a use case for either so the more technically impressive thing (the folding screen) seems cooler to me. And you have to admit that the first time you saw a folding tablet phone thing it kinda blew ur mind or at least it blew mine.
Nobody thinks a physical keyboard is cool unc
Still waiting for the rollable screen so I can pull out my phablet and unroll it like a medieval scroll.
"Hear ye! Hear ye!...."
Like the global links from Earth final conflict.
2 years from now Google will be sued and offer a "free repair" (you arent eligable if theres even a scratch on the casing) or a "100 VISA gift card" (good luck receiving it)
Once again man who breaks phones shows that phones can break
Oh, good... looks at my Pixel 10 Fold
Same .....
I mean, on one hand this kinda comes with the territory of you ask me. I expected this phone to be a lot more fragile than my pixel 6 pro, even the overpriced case which barely protects it is a weakness.
I'll just have to be more careful.
