Samsung Announces its First Tri-Fold Foldable Phone
www.phonescoop.com
external-link
Samsung has announced the Galaxy Z TriFold, a foldable phone comprised of three ultra-thin (~4mm) panels and two sets of hinges, that unfolds into a 10-inch tablet. When closed, it resembles a standard smartphone with a 6.5-inch display that is 12.9mm thick. Because the main screen is so large, Samsung has created a "standalone" version of Samsung DeX, meaning it can switch to a PC-like desktop mode without attaching ...

    This means that there is a wrong way to fold the phone, but the phone has automatic vibrating and visual alerts to keep you from doing that

            Eh I’ve watched the HP movies quite a lot, can’t remember Hermione having a line like that.

            But I do remember seeing a ton of “Love and Marriage” reruns in the late 90’s early 00’s.

            I’m a millenial as well.

            Also, Modern Family has been on for a long time now.

            And those aren’t the only shows Al Bundy has done

      Nah its perfect, I always forget or dont wanna carry my tablet, trifold is the perfect size for reading comics when I feel like it. Also a decent size screen for shows and android desktop potentially. Android desktop seems to be moving towards linux support maybe. I stopped following along.

    I actually like this idea. It provides more girth for when I make pro-Google threads on Lemmy, set notifications to vibrate and shove the phone in my asshole.

    Pretty soon Samsung is going to release a foldable that can become an imax screen. You just need to unfold it 1000 times, and you’re set. It also needs to be unfolded 4 times to be able to answer a call, or use the 1.2 back screen to do that.

    When in doubt, just add more fold.

      Because when you break it, the repair costs will keep funneling money back to them. I guess.
