If you're on Jerboa open the image to get the joke...
Or enable "auto play gifs" in Jerboa's settings
oops. thanks
It's animated on Connect
And here I am rawdogging lemmy with Firefox and everything works. 🤷♂️
Tor on Android works great
Thanks. Same for Voyager.
Huh? Voyager loads it just fine on my pixel fold.
Maybe it's a hardware-limitation?
Auto-loading GIFs is a setting in Jerboa, might be the same for Voyager.
It also loaded automatically for me on Voyager. Maybe it's an instance thing?
If I don’t tap the image, it doesn’t animate.
The thumbnail was animated in voyager on iOS for me.
Work had me procure flips and folds for QA. I got to briefly and test drive them before I handed them over.
I expected to flip to be useless in the fold to be drool worthy for having a mini tablet sized screen
I carried the fold for a few days, having screens even in candy bar mode meant that I was constantly worried about scratching it and it just had fingerprints everywhere all the time
It was uncomfortable to unfold it, and the aspect ratio was wrong for a lot of applications and websites.
The flip however folded up into a clamshell and fit right in my pocket like old days.
For the price, there's no way in hell I'm buying either but... Having a cell phone easily fitting in a pocket's pretty fucking cool
Having a cell phone easily fitting in a pocket's pretty fucking cool
For the price
The Motorola razr is about the same price as any non flippable flagship
I only know one guy who has a folding smartphone. It's broken now. What a stupid idea.
I've had my fold3 over three years now. Once a year the inner screen protector has to replaced, that costs something like 25 euros. Apart that, the concept is great and I've had zero probs. As my phone is already like 4 years old overall, the camera on it not that great nowadays, especially in low light.
This. I rocked a 3 for 3 years. My inner screen peeled year one. Being a dummy, I thought it would be fine. The inner crease started to peel just a tiny bit after year 2. It was small and still worked great. I got full trade in value for it and my Fold 6 has 0 problems.
Unless you get a factory defect, folding phones are amazing if you're gentle with opening and closing them
Love my z fold 6. Getting the first foldable phone....yeah that would be questionable but they worked it out I think. I love mine.
I like my zfold 6, but the main downside is that it's made by Samsung. They've switched to a locked down bootloader of the past few years and you can't get GrapheneOS or LineageOS to run on it.
Because of this, once software updates stop being supported by Samsung, the phone increasingly become a security liability. Meanwhile my old S10e does support these 3rd party OS's so I can theoretically keep using it safely for several more years
I've had mine for about 4 years now, I love it.
I've had the inside screen replaced once now under extended warranty. I'd still buy another folding.
Now you know two who've had one. I'm typing on my Galaxy Z Flip3, which I bought in December 2021. No problems yet.
- Pixel fold here. Entire last week I opened it once.
I have quite literally never used the front screen on my galaxy fold 4. I hear the pixel has a more regular proportioned front screen.
The cover screen in my Flip3 is basically useless. It tells me the time. So I open the Phone every time I use it, dozens on times a day. It would be an under exaggeration to say mine's been opened and closed 13,000 times since I've owned it.
I've also hard dropped it (waist-high, onto concrete, 3 or 4 times, and I've never had it in a case. I've always dropped it closed, though, and I think that's contributed to how well it's survived. If it had a bigger outside screen like the newer models, something may have broken by now.
Yeah, external screen is just like using a regular smart phone. Normal size and aspect ratio amoled.
Lol, I'm on my second one, neither broke/is broken
It's not a stupid idea, being able to have a small tablet whenever you need is amazing
It's the only tablet I actually use instead of just collecting dust within a couple weeks of getting it because it's never where I am when I need it the most.
At about a year and a half now with my Z Fold 5. Echoing many of the others here. Still works great, opens flat, and I never want go back to a non-foldable.
It's a great idea. I have the Motorola razr 2024 and it's a horizontal hinge like a normal flip phone instead of a vertical one. It's compact and I can use 100% of the smart phone features without even opening it. It's the ultra compact smart phone I've been searching for for years.
This seems like the better direction. I'd rather have a phone that turns into a pocket watch than a tablet that turns into a phone.
Had it for 4 years its the best
I love my Z Fold 4. Never going back to a non-foldable ever again. It's so convenient being able to view websites in desktop mode without scrolling. Or view restaurant menus full-size. Or show a video or picture to someone on a giant screen that fits into my pocket. The possibilities are endless.
My only point of contention with unfolding the phone to browse the internet is that you have all tabs in front of you, not just the tabs in the tab group. Granted, this is mainly an issue for Chromium browsers, but it's still annoying
Fold4 here. Ditto. Awesome for web browsing, menus and the like.
Its a pocket tablet. I most often open mine to play games or read manga.
I'm on my second, first Fold 3 and now Fold 5. Assuming they continue to gain traction, I don't know if I'll ever go back to a non-foldable.
The only issue I've had is the internal screen protector (installed in factory by Samsung) started to peel up in the middle/fold crease. Got it replaced for free under warranty.
I'll probably use this one until it starts to show wear and look into a different brand to get away from Samsung. My current plans are something like a OnePlus Open or Pixel fold and use Lineage or Graphene.
My wife has a z flip 6 and it works great. She had a 3 previously and never had any issues either

I know one guy who has a folding smartphone and it's not broken now. Where does that leave us
Wife has one and she loves it.
I bought a 2 year old refurbished Z Fold 2 two years ago and it's still going strong. If you treat your device with respect you'll have no trouble.
I have a pixel fold. You know two people now.
I think it's a fantastic idea. Wanted one since Samsung showed an S4(?) clamshell.
But they still have too many issues for me. I look forward to when it's a standard thing, so the OS and apps work correctly.

Yes, but at what cost. Oh, $1500USD more than the flip phone. I mean, that's like totally affordable.
I've broken so many of those old flip phones. the hinges were always some flimsy cheaply made shit causing the phone to break in two.
My Nextel i930 lasted forever. Still in a drawer somewhere
I had one moto razr and I did phone flip tricks with it all the time. If it didn't get dropped into the depths of the inlet while paddle boarding I'd still be fiddling with it
I had a couple LG flippers. They held up for me.
