My tender palm hurts just looking at this. I can feel the pinch.

Clearly, so they could make an !oddlysatisfying@lemmy.world animation. I mean, practicality is obviously not a factor here.

Holding out for the Anne Frank Trapper Keeper phone.

Do you mean Lisa Frank, the artist for colorful animals on school supplies, and not Anne Frank, the famous diarist who was killed by the Nazis during the Holocaust?

Shit. That’s a big oops. Been a very long day.

Or, perhaps a mashup of both???

Phones are becoming the new wallets to the point we need something slimmer to pay with soon again.
SmoothLiquidation@lemmy.world 1 week ago
I already pay with my watch.
I don’t need anything that is between my phone and my laptop in size.

My concession here would be wink devices, kindle voyage and an A4 device Fortnite taking. Don’t need them, but they are handy AF.

Phones are becoming the new wallets…
Now I want a phone case with a chain that attaches to my belt.

Pedantic nit: this thing doesn’t have three folds, the name is nonsense.
antmzo220@lemmy.ml 1 week ago
Pedantic return: it has 3 screens with 2 connecting hinges, this is a trifold.
trifold in American English (ˈtraiˌfould) adjective
- triple; threefold
- having three parts a trifold screen

And two fold is how many screens ?

Trifold wallet tho

Whilst I agree the technology is awesome, £2,000 for a phone, wow, no thanks.
latenightnoir@lemmy.world 1 week ago
Shit will ger REALLY real when we reach five-fold! Or better yet, touch-papyrus! Just roll that meter-long flab of screen up, and you’re good to go!

I wish this was closer to cheap than bat shit expensive.
Also, the only reason I’d want this is for native x64 emulation (which isn’t out of infancy) I had a laptop, my cellphone and my work laptop sprawled out today and this all could easily be 1 phone and 2 vms…
rednalsi@lemmings.world 1 week ago
yay, it solves every non-existent problems!

This is cool but what I really want are rollable screen phones like from Earth Final Conflict.

I don’t understand the folding phone thing. It feels like tech now is all about creating ridiculous features and tech companies trying to convince us that we want them while ignoring things that would actually be worthwhile like repairable phones, headphones jacks and minimal bloatware.
reddig33@lemmy.world 1 week ago
I can actually see the value in a trifold like the one pictured. In your pocket it’s a phone. When you unfold it, it’s an iPad. You’re consolidating devices.
That said, I’m not a fan of folding lcd screen tech used today. It creases. I’d rather see three separate bezel-less screens that magnetically join to make a larger surface.

Phone companies, listen to me, BUILT-IN KICKSTAND
rigatti@lemmy.world 1 week ago
Hey I actually like my phone kickstand. I use it… sometimes.

All the things that used to break phones got fixed, mobile OS changes got smaller and smaller, designed obsolescence required something that would get people to buy a new phone every 18 months. So here’s a hinge. Here’s TWO hinges!

Companies don’t make as much money when it’s repairable. Washers and dryers used to last 20-25 years with a few repairs here and there. But companies weren’t making any money, so they started making unrepairable junk instead.

It is pretty useful and convenient if your use case suits it but I don’t think that fits the majority of people. For me my Fold 6 replaced my Kindle and Surface. It’s nice to able to open it up to read ebooks and manga since opened up, it’s pretty much the dimensions of a typical book. Also makes things a lot easier when I need to remote into a PC or SSH into stuff and is a really convenient sketch pad for ideas.
My Fold 3 lasted 3 years with no issues until I traded it in so I think they’re fairly well built.
