killamch89 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 What are your thoughts on this? Do you think the phone industry should move in this direction instead of foldable phones? Peterlight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Sliding, fold and the box based devices I hate them. Moto did a lot of those models. I hate such type of phones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do hate the folding phones though but I think they might be onto something with rollables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 From the gaming context, those are like horror devices to handle and play at the same time. Such type of fancy phones are good for those who are into clout business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've gotten way too used to the touchscreen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Those phones can have the touchscreen too but handling them is a pain. I am used to using single hand mode touchscreen. I can't imagine that flap and handling juggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am used to using single hand mode touchscreen. I can't imagine that flap and handling juggling. Let's take the LG Wing for example. A very innovative concept but ultimately the second screen serves no real purpose than their previous dual screen offerings. I agree with you that changing things just cause isn't really the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Yeah and another issue is from the gamers or the designer or artist perspective is that you have to manage phone more than your creativity or gaming experience. Think about playing PUBG or other games which require more attention instead of flap or rollable models which requires it's own attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The developers will have to run special versions of your favorite apps just to make them compatible with the new device. I do agree with you that gaming on these devices must be a nightmare too.

skyfire Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Yeah some gamers are forced to think about the length of the screen and the additional controller options for switching between touch and the QERTY if it gets added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Well the battery test results of the latest iPhones are really disappointing, I think after the exclusion of charger they are now looking to sell extra capacity battery separately for more profit instead of innovation. Tech is crazy isn't it if you think about it but that high hype will dye later since tech improves and something else is new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still waiting on the first graphene battery powered flagship because that technology is supposed to let phones last longer without dying as well as the amount of charge cycles a phone can undergo.

Kane99 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 (edited) In all honesty, I think this might be even better than the folding phones we got. If I am seeing this right, it looks like they could easily protect the screen by putting a protective case over it. The only worry I could see after, is if you get dust inside that portion, but if they build it right, it should be fine. Either way, this sounds good, but how will it perform compared to other devices? At this point, I feel like companies are just trying new gimmicks with the hope of breaking new ground or something.

skyfire Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Folding and rollable both don't make the casual and everyday usage. This is more or less show-off type devices which are meant for the premium usages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DudeThatsErin Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 That will be interesting to see. I love the innovations companies are coming up with. I'll stick with my candybar phone though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
