I'm upset that they'll make foldable screens before adding a physical keyboard "because movable parts break too often".
I don't see what would be the value in that anymore. I didn't use a phone with a physical keyboard in a while but I think a virtual 3x3 keyboard would be more comfortable.
I mean a folding screen is just so much cooler than a keyboard
ΰ² _ΰ²
I mean am I wrong tho like that's some star wars shit
I think cooler is subjective. With a physical keyboard back in the day and Remote Desktop, I had a pocket-sized Windows PC with me at all times. With SSH, I had a portable terminal I could easily administer servers around the world with. I thought that was pretty cool.
Now I'm tap typing on a device with no physical feedback where the keyboard hides half the screen and reshuffles my terminal output every time said keyboard is shown and hidden. That's not cool at all.
I have a foldable Bluetooth keyboard that I sometimes use with an ssh app on my phone
Try using it standing up.
Yeah but like the screen folds. I agree that the keyboard has some uses. The folding screen doesn't really or not nearly as many it's just novelty cool. I personally don't have a use case for either so the more technically impressive thing (the folding screen) seems cooler to me. And you have to admit that the first time you saw a folding tablet phone thing it kinda blew ur mind or at least it blew mine.
Nobody thinks a physical keyboard is cool unc
2 years from now Google will be sued and offer a "free repair" (you arent eligable if theres even a scratch on the casing) or a "100 VISA gift card" (good luck receiving it)
Still waiting for the rollable screen so I can pull out my phablet and unroll it like a medieval scroll.
"Hear ye! Hear ye!...."
Like the global links from Earth final conflict.
DID YOU KNOW?
If you fill your phone with gravel, use a knife to interact with the screen, try to light it on fire, then snap it in half, it stops working?
Once again man who breaks phones shows that phones can break
Oh, good... looks at my Pixel 10 Fold
Same .....
I mean, on one hand this kinda comes with the territory of you ask me. I expected this phone to be a lot more fragile than my pixel 6 pro, even the overpriced case which barely protects it is a weakness.
I'll just have to be more careful.
