i want to see a google flip phone
Isn't that what the Pixel Fold is?
i meant a flip phone like a galaxy z flip or motorola razr
Ah, as in opening vertically rather than horizontally?
Yeah I agree with the person you're responding to. For some reason, a lot of companies are really getting into researching the larger folding phones...the ones that unfold from a regular phone into a tablet.
And there is definitely a market for these phones, sure. But they are incredibly expensive and not everyone who is interested in a folding phone really wants a phone-tablet combo or the pricetag to match.
I'm not sure why more companies aren't trying to make the "collapsing phone" style of folding phones like Samsung's Z Flip or the Motorola Razr. There is a big market there and you're limiting yourself as a company if you only are researching the phone-tablet style folding devices like Google is doing.
I'd love for phones to go back to being all shapes and sizes, we've had like 15 years of identical rectangles!
Same! People (especially on Lemmy I've noticed) love to rag on folding phones. But I think it's fantastic companies are trying to innovate and make something more interesting than the same old same old we've had for the past 10 years. Phones used to be bizarre and weird and come in all sorts of shapes and sizes! Folding phones add a little variety back into the mix!
It's always the way with new innovations, they start off a bit buggy and you're never sure if they're just a gimmick. Hopefully we're seeing the technology mature (and more critically become affordable!)
yes
