Fold tech still ain’t there. Especially with regards to durability. But that’s part of the point, they need you to replace your phone on the regular.
My inner screen finally broke a couple months ago. It is pretty scammy but it seems to have lasted a while. I’m curious how long the rest of the phone is going to last in this state because I’m not shelling out for repairs on a phone I bought second hand
I like the idea of fold tech but I just wish it unfolded to a proper aspect ratio.
Imagine an iPhone that unfolds into an iPad.
Edit: just looked it up, it’s 4:3, which is not bad but imo it’s also not good
I’m the kind of contrarian who thinks we should have stuck with 4:3 in general, it’s a better framing for a lot of content and it also makes the vertical video problem a lot less annoying in my view.
It is literally the aspect ratio of every iPad, though 😅
Something like 16:10 or 16:9 would make it very square when folded. IMO the most satisfying aspect ratio would be √2:1, like A4 paper, so that the aspect ratio when closed and open is the same.
It is actually closer to √ 2 as it’s stated as 1.4:1 on both screens, so slightly wider than iPad unfolded
Well shit that shows how little I know about tablets
You know, I hope this becomes something people like, cause why not, we need some tech wins these days.
Was hoping for something like this.
Context?
YouTubers like to do live durability tests on new phones when released (think dropping from a table / hand height / etc).
Eventually most move to just “what would it take to break the phone entirely”?
