SHIT!
Edit: Oh I meant to reply to the one above, but I stand by it lol.
I know it’s a cringe trend now, but: Downvoted for censorship. Do not keep your memes safe for TikTok!
What kinda features do you honestly expect? Phones can basically already do everything these days. Of course the most noteable difference is CPU speed but you don't need a new one for that every year, or do you upgrade your PC as soon as a new CPU or graphics card hit the market?
We are "there" with processing power IMO. Form factor is the next evolution. Try a foldable and find out that regular phones are so limiting.
I can legit get work done. Two or three apps comfortably shown. (Teams, tickets, admin console)
I just moved and reading/signing docs on a big screen was so helpful.
navigation with an 8in screen is objectively better. Can even split screen with Spotify or the message thread with whoever I am visiting/meeting.
tripod for taking pics. I use this SO much. Along with selfies using the main cameras
I tried to go from fold 3 to S23U and gave it to my mom after 2 weeks. Right back to foldables with OnePlus Open. Takes even better pics
Larger form factors also means more room for batteries. Granted, larger screens require them, but I think my point stands. I've been on the Samsung Note since like the Note 4 (I think). The larger amount of screen real estate is genuinely a welcome upgrade and that's the whole point of the foldables... it's the next evolution of the "phablet."
Chinese ones are literally the thickness of an iPhone, when folded. With bigger batteries too! SiC tech we don't have in the US yet.
It's wild how foldables were just weird and cumbersome, and all of a sudden are "ready". My fold3 was so goofy in retrospect. Me OPO has fooled people into thinking it's a regular phone when just sitting on a table a few times
640Kb should be enough for anyone
I guess if phones turn into all-in-one devices we could need more power, but I haven't noticed any change in gaming performance for generations of snapdragon. Always locked at 60 fps.
I guess efficiency is always welcome
This has to be the replacement for the spiderman meme.
And yet people always want to upgrade to the latest one.
Who are these people? All my friends and family keep phones for 3-5 years. Im the "new phone" guy and I'm on a 3 year schedule
I don't have an iPhone but quite a few people I know are on that plan with Apple where you can upgrade every 12 months: https://www.apple.com/shop/iphone/iphone-upgrade-program
I'm in the San Francisco Bay Area so maybe it's region-specific. People do like new shiny tech here.
It feels like Phones really don't have anywhere else to go in terms of meaningful upgrades outside of speed.
yeah, someone could release an actually useful phone (USB ports, SD cards, hardware switches for everything....) phones could've been so amazing, but what we have now is nothing short of useless.
If they figure out durable scratch resistant creaseless foldables, it's actually over for form factor changes
Even in its current iteration, barring material conditions that disallow me from keeping my foldable phone, I think I'll keep owning one for the foreseeable future. It truly feels like something new in a sea of black rectangular slabs.
Bro they are ready. Check out the OnePlus Open. Typing this on my outer-screen now, it's very comfortable and feels like a normal iPhone closed.
I bought it second hand and the screens are still flawless. I do not baby my phones. It is currently case-less
The crease is practically non existent, I constantly get comments on that. I think people are used to how Samsung's folds have a deep valley crease.
The cameras are better than the Galaxy S23 Ultra I tried for a couple weeks. Video quality is iPhone level or better
I can believe why you think that if you use iPhones. Foldables are out here completely changing the game. Apple will make one in 2030 I'm sure
And it'll be so revolutionary... Somehow
sidekick 3 was the SHIT
We got USB C 14>15, that’s an upgrade on its own tbh
Because they got forced to do so, lol.
100%, not denying that
Thousand dollar standard update
laughs in android
You can say shit on the Internet
No, seriously.....someone explain to me why so many children think you can't cuss online anymore. Is it because of the hardcore shit like that on Tik Tok? Do these kids believe the entire internet is censored that bad?
The bezels are pretty wide on these examples. Some people like that though.
I love good bezels where you can actually hold your phone securely and not have to balance it on the bottom with your thumb/pinkie.
Ok? That’s the outside of the phone, and frankly all the other options also look the same just more plasticky. It’s called being recognizable.
Dog shit's also easily recognizable, and people also keep stepping in it.
Sure thing, my dude. I do hope you guys one day get personalities based on what you like instead of what you hate. You’ll be happier and I’d love that for you.
They're just making things at this point
sarcasm
Outside of software, the only ones I remember that I cared about hardware-wise was USB Display-out & a Stylus. Though some android tablets are getting tiny fans so I do like that, and two USB-C ports does make up mildly for removing the audio port
I am on the fence about switching to a Galaxy this year. Someone convince me. I’m coming from an iPhone 12. My biggest hangup is going to be moving my stuff over.
Just stay on your current phone till it's dead. And even if you switch to Android avoid Samsung it's a bloated disaster. Use oneplus or import a sony phone if you want headphone jack microsd slot and hardware fingerprint reader
Get a Fairphone then.
If you go Android, I recommend a sony phone. Unlockable bootloaders, microsd, headphone jack, exceptional audio, good camera. And no fucking notch or hole cut out of the damn screen!
I even recently replaced the battery in my Xperia 1 iii.
Coming from a pixel guy who recently bought a 16 pro apps just plain don’t work as well like even google apps run better but that’s not to say they are bad on android things “just work” sometimes on iOS
Can you give an example of an app not working "as well"? Do your emails get wrangled or anything?
1 I use my phone as a remote for my tv and it’ll sit there and spin on my pixel 8 iPhone loads right up
2 I have a lot of Bluetooth devices and my pixel doesn’t like to auto connect past the recent 5 devices my iPhone connects immediately to any of them any time
3 so far Siri with apple intelligence ( dev beta ) has given me significantly better responses then hey google has
4 camera in some apps is just slow on the pixel but they all are flawless on iPhone
And that’s not to say I hate my pixel I carry both phones if I have to run adb commands at my job I can do it easily off my pixel but things that my iPhone can do it does do better at least for me
