Google announced (leaked?) their hotly anticipated Google Pixel Fold yesterday.

@aaronoleary yah I still don’t get it. It means it’s going to be more fragile , harder to repair, more expensive ? Can someone please explain what the use case is?
@grangej_ny I don’t think there is a use case either. Another dead google product to be launched. I think since they can’t compete with apple, they have to do something unusual to bring attention to the company and make it seem like they’re innovating too and keeping investors happy, but that product is not something needed for humanity, who’d switch to that from apple? Also don’t think apple will make a foldable phone, they’ve got better things to do to push us forward lol
In my view, foldable phones seem to have little purpose and I have no desire to own one. I believe Google may be misguided in devoting resources to this technology, which distracts from concentrating on more significant matters.
Google design and product teams have been on a roll lately. I love seeing the increase in American tech competition
Google is doing good but it still needs to fix alot of bugs on its phones. I'm using pixel 7 and idle drain is high, ui bugs still exist on Android 13 at a time when 14 is coming soon to stable. network issues are irritating. sometimes I get 5g sometimes I don't . where as my friends with cheaper 5g phones are still getting best out of it. FYI we are on same service provided
Google tend to conquer the emerging/existing markets.
first we hear about:
Altavista
Hotmail
iPhone
Netscape/IE/Opera/Firefox
AWS
...
then, you know.
let's wait and see if this experiment worked out.
Honestly, this seems outdated. Not sure how many people actually have folding phones but the ones I've seen have looked worn out where the screen folds. We don't need these.
