I can’t imagine working in an environment where everyone is too intimidated/complacent to say “the phone doesn’t work, dipshits”

this is android, half baked gimmicky bullshit is 90% of the feature differentiation, without it you have no product lineup

quote:Galaxy Fold shipments this year are likely to make up less than half a percent of Samsung’s annual total, analysts and investors said. 0 is less than 0.5% I agree

I'm no phone engineer but wouldn't you want it to fold along the long edge so less of the screen has to bend?

putting the screen on the outside of the phone is better than the inside because then bend radius is larger but i still expect that phone to break and get scratched when you breathe on it

only way i can practically imagine it'll work with current tech is if they do just make the top layer a very replaceable separate plastic, so you can change that out once a year or so. the huawei actually does look awesome though, in a way the samsung never did, but probably too early days to work well

the hinge is hellishly over complicated for something that's meant to see at least two years of daily use while being stored in less than particle free environments

well, in the way it interacts with the screen sure. as a hinge i don't think it is so much more complex than a quality laptop hinge. it does seem likely that given sufficient protections the oled screens themselves are also fine with pretty much any amount of bending, so it is a matter of not having things get into the sensitive side of the hinge, and the flexible front material which will at least with the huawei design be in a worse position (i.e. the short side when folded will very easily take some hits and scratching against stuff with force) i think the latter is the trickiest bit by far, these things will for sure be very fragile for a long time, if not forever.

also, other than maybe the surface book, what laptop has a segmented hinge like that?

600mhz is mostly a coverage boost band, it carries further than the 850/900. If you're not out in the sticks you probably won't miss it.
