Phones are becoming the new wallets to the point we need something slimmer to pay with soon again.
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.
(Like the kind bikers and punks used to wear.)
do not want. want removable and replaceable batteries and storage, also a headphone jack because fuck you.
Motorola has ⅔ of that on many models.
Removable battery not an option though.
I could complain about my experience from a few motos the recent years but let’s just say I would no longer recommend getting a moto.
And while we’re at it, a physical tactile keyboard.
I’ll happily settle for any amount more physical buttons. It sucks to listen to music using my phone because I can’t skip, replay or pause songs without using the touch screen.
I like removable batteries, but I like waterproofness combined with thin more.
Easily serviceable batteries are a great compromise IMO.
Why is there a “but”?
Because I like…
Big "but"s
That ain’t gonna satisfy the shareholders so fuck you instead
Westworld here we come!
Fuck Everything, We’re Doing Five Folds.
Y’all are so stuck in the old linear thinking. Be brave, expand your mind. Rubik’s cube phone when?
Screw that, I want a phone that folds into a fucking origami crane
this is going to be like the Gillette blades
That’d be cool. Buy one cheap phone frame, and a pack of 8 screen+electronics assys for $20,000.
They already stuck a screen on the back
Clearly, so they could make an [email protected] animation. I mean, practicality is obviously not a factor here.
Pedantic nit: this thing doesn’t have three folds, the name is nonsense.
The suffix “fold” in this instance refers to the number of parts, not the number of folds. As confusing as that is.
Pedantic return: it has 3 screens with 2 connecting hinges, it is therefore trifold.
trifold in American English (ˈtraiˌfould) adjective
- triple; threefold
- having three parts a trifold screen
And two fold is how many screens ?
2, with 1 hinge. It’s like a normal phone but the screen number increased twofold.
Bifold means something that folds into two parts. Consider the bifold wallet or bifold door.
How can something fold into one part then ?
I guess the same way you slice something into one piece. Bisect is one less than trisect, so what’s one less than bisect?
Maybe the problem is that the phone is rectangular. I bet they could do it with a polygon with just two fewer sides. ;)
Trifold wallet tho
This is cool but what I really want are rollable screen phones like from Earth Final Conflict.
I can hear the sand crunching.
My tender palm hurts just looking at this. I can feel the pinch.
Holding out for the Anne Frank Trapper Keeper phone.
I kinda always wanted Penny’s computer book from Inspector Gadget.
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.
Holy shit we just witnessed Lemmy culture 🥲
Ok, now I want an Anne Frank Trapper Keeper.
Lmao thank you for leaving your comment unedited.
An Anne frank fold out phone would be a hell of an art piece. I think it could give Lisa Frank a run for her money.
Or, perhaps a mashup of both???
I was really wondering if I had missed something about Anne Frank.
Is it stupid? Yes! Yes it is certainly. But I’s it fucking stupid? It certainly is fucking.
Shit will get 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!
Going to 4 is just playing it safe, you gotta go to 5!

Like razor blades, Mach 5!
i can only get so fucking soaking wet… literally can not wait.
The iScroll!
Gimme a fucking keyboard instead of extra screen size
https://youtu.be/e2n2ftM-MwI?si=F_1PfmfYQadCr9Zl
Clicks keyboard?
they also give a keyboard for that extra screen size
they actually made one for this and it folds 🫨
Exactly, if you’re going to add mechanical elements that will break it better be a keyboard
some origami sheet
