I know a person who has some Samsung foldable phone that is as of right now (2025.12.03) about a year old. According to them, everything was fine since February when the phone was bought. But last week we got below 0C weather, so the fold line on the screen got layers separated.
Z Fold 7 is 2000 euro. They might have Z Fold 6, I am not sure. Regardless, that is way too expensive of a phone to breaks under a mildly cold weather.
This would be the coolest shit ever if these phones didn’t have a reputation for breaking so easily. I had the Z Fold 4 and after I left it partially folded for about 30 mins in my car while I was driving, something went wrong with the hinge and it could no longer open fully flat. Unacceptable for a device at that price range.
I want us to go back when it comes to smartphones, not forward. Bring back the holy trinity of removable battery, headphone jack, and SD card slot.
The outside display is just about 21:9 and internal about 4:3, sounds like it’s an ultimate retro gaming handheld. Lack of SD card support is a pain though
For folds, I like the old flip phone style flips better. The only puzzling thing with those ones are why keep the front facing camera when the rear cameras have a display on that half on the phone. The outer display on this is 6.5". It’s not a compromise in size at all like the flips/razrs. Internal screen shouldn’t have a selfie camera either
I mean, are foldable devices even something settled in the mobile market?
Actually not the first tri-folded phone, but OK
Yes, because the dual-fold phone did so great. Clearly the problem was a lack of folds
I think the problem with 2 folds is that you get a square screen, which sucks for most websites, videos and games optimized for 16:9 screens, either landscape or portrait.
I won’t buy a phone with any fewer than 16 folds.
1K per screen according to Sammy.
Yawn. Samsung can have more money and attention from me when theyhave something i want. Give it 5 years.
A few ideas: A) projector! They are like $99 on Amazon now, put in phone. B) and app that pairs w Google glasses to count calories and nutrition of everything I eat all day. C) faraday cage setting D) no bloatware C) idk, im content… anyone else have ideas?
If a projector is $99 it’s rubbish. And what kind of light source would fit into a cellphone that is bright enough to throw a picture from 2m away from the wall, possibly during day light hours, without eating the battery in 5 mins?
Have you never used a modern-day LED flashlight they can make them tiny with small dials and still make them brighter than the goddamn Sun lol
I’d settle for something like the Red Magic 11 with better cameras from them. Saving a couple millimeters instead of having a bigger battery and flat back is silly.
More unfixable crap for a world drowning in crap. Hooray!
Yeah, even as a foldable enthusiast, I see no reason for this to exist. A second hinge is just another failure point.
Wake me up when the first cylindrical, rollable phone comes out. Until then, I’m happy with my Fold 7.
Huawei: Fuck everything, we’re doing five folds.
Why?
This is going to end up like the number of razor blades on disposable razors isn’t it?
I don’t need origami for a phone. Just bring back classic flip phones or stop. FFS
Woah, I cant believe Samsung created something that Huawei released over a year ago (I do belive the Huawei Mate XT Ultimate was the first tri folding phone although it didnt release outside china)
Not only is it available outside of China, this year they even released Mate XTs which comes with a pen.
