According to a new report, competition in the foldable space has Samsung in a panic, and the company is revving up plans to launch a rollable smartphone as soon as next year.

      IIRC display and chip manufacturing are basically treated like separate businesses from the phones as a product. And all the other companies foldables are better than Samsung’s (imo at least) because they haven’t innovated or improved in several generations.

        Not disagreeing, but the other foldables claiming no crease are bs from what I’ve seen.
        Has anyone noticeably innovated? Genuinely curious

          Idk about no crease but Samsung’s appear to be the most noticeable from what I’ve actually seen. I think other manufacturers have improved on this over time but I haven’t seen anything newer than my Pixel Fold in person.

        Mix equal parts flour and dish soap in seasoned baking tray, let set for 24-48 weeks, then bake in a preheated oven at 400°C immediately

      I’d be hyped anyway. Not because I want to buy one now, but because it’s possible (and I might buy one in like a decade when they’re affordable)

      Rollable phones are such insanely sci-fi-y things

      And will still have that awful GN3 sensor on the primary rear camera. Xiaomi were using a Sony sensor of the same size on the Redmi Note 12 Pro a phone that cost somewhere around $200-300 depending on the region it was sold back in 2022 and 2023.

    I’ve always wanted a real life “Global” from Earth Final Conflict. Can’t wait to find out how badly I won’t be able to afford it 😭

        You are totally right… Android 11 is better than android 8 but they dont get any more updates either… So it feels like i just exchange one with another

          Android 11 is still capable of updating some core system components through Project Mainline, as opposed to Android 8 which is completely dead. But yeah I agree that it’s probably not worth “upgrading” to those Unihertz devices. I was sharing more so it would be on your radar if they ever release a newer model.

          Do they make add-on keyboards for phones that fold over the screen like the ones for Surface-style tablets?

    What does that mean, I can roll it up like a wizard’s scroll? But I don’t want to carry that around except as a novelty.

    I’m waiting for the Samsung Kickable Phone, so I can have a game of footy with the mates whilst shouting out my pizza order.
