hbag posted:didn't dankpods also say something about how the foldable screens all get a huge crease where it folds that you can't get rid of, once you fold it enough having seen a couple of models of foldable phones out and about i don't think the crease actually is a big deal (not really wear afaict, the screen is just not pulled so hard as to be taut by the mechanism). can see it mostly if you reflect a light off the screen, but the thing is that you can't then see the screen *anyway* as there's a light reflecting off it, you'll pretty naturally orient your phone in a way where it is basically invisible. the bigger deal remains that all those phones that all those phones have rapidly broken in various ways. while costing ridiculously much. e: i mean, maybe a more significant crease is possible with wear? but then here's the good news: the screen or mechanism will fail in some other way long before that.

I love Android, and I hate Google. I've got a cheap Xiaomei phone and it's nice, but the Google play Store and Google play services need to die.

pixel fold review posted:Form factor and workmanship, on the other hand, are convincing. The former in particular is a unique selling point on the European market. The Pixel Fold's gaps are flush and fit perfectly, but it creaks and cracks audibly under light torsional stress. The display-to-surface ratio of 83 percent could also be better. The IPX8 certification, which certifies the Google foldable as waterproof, is a positive aspect.

the X in IPX8 means it has absolutely no protection from grit and fine particles. They have no confidence in the hinge.

the first galaxy fold (with the famous load-bearing screen protector) came out in april 2019 four and a half years later and the phones are still expensive fragile crease-bearing pieces of poo poo that can be disabled by stray flecks of grit i assume apple has a whole lab of prototype foldable iphones that will never be released because the underlying technology is just too unreliable
