i don't think the market for "would rather have a pinky nail extra screen than a camera" is anywhere near deep enough to support a company making them as you seem to think it might be. like, it's not deep enough to support phones with keyboards, and that's actually a niche that doesn't detract from usability and that the people who want it are vocal.

no need to support a company, just a model, and the design work involved is quite minimal. i agree we won't see it happen though, so very safe to bet either way v v

given that no devices in the android space except samsungs generate profit and those only do so due to the name (and even then id wager only due to "anything but apple" sentiment not because what they are) theres a strong argument for no one making any android devices at all why gently caress around with form factors and custom implementations of this and that when literally the best way to make money is to stop making the poo poo altogether?

yeah, that was my literal post yes, though then tempered with "and/or why bother making a phone at all". this making phones but making them ones no one wants seems a losing strategy overall (tax dodge of some sort?!)

seems unlikely to turn out a good idea unless there are much thinner screen assemblies than i expect, but neat not least in that the camera budget is then not spent on two separate ones mostly though i too am very much of the opinion that it is at minimum a lot of fun seeing this sort of thing head to market

pretty funny that the pre-smartphone era joke was that phones would get comically tiny, and now that trend has totally reversed and there’s no telling how big phones will get now that we have the technology to *checks notes* unfold them
