I know it’s a cringe trend now, but: Downvoted for censorship. Do not keep your memes safe for TikTok!
Eheran@lemmy.world 6 months ago
What censorship? What TikTok?
Katana314@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Say “shit”, not “sh*t”.
Say “pussy”, not “p**sy”.
Say “gay”, not “”.

This has to be the replacement for the spiderman meme.

What kinda features do you honestly expect? Phones can basically already do everything these days. Of course the most noteable difference is CPU speed but you don’t need a new one for that every year, or do you upgrade your PC as soon as a new CPU or graphics card hit the market?
4lan@lemmy.world 6 months ago
We are “there” with processing power IMO. Form factor is the next evolution. Try a foldable and find out that regular phones are so limiting.
-
I can legit get work done. Two or three apps comfortably shown. (Teams, tickets, admin console)
-
I just moved and reading/signing docs on a big screen was so helpful.
-
navigation with an 8in screen is objectively better. Can even split screen with Spotify or the message thread with whoever I am visiting/meeting.
-
tripod for taking pics. I use this SO much. Along with selfies using the main cameras
I tried to go from fold 3 to S23U and gave it to my mom after 2 weeks. Right back to foldables with OnePlus Open. Takes even better pics
TrueStoryBob@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Larger form factors also means more room for batteries. Granted, larger screens require them, but I think my point stands. I’ve been on the Samsung Note since like the Note 4 (I think). The larger amount of screen real estate is genuinely a welcome upgrade and that’s the whole point of the foldables… it’s the next evolution of the “phablet.”

640Kb should be enough for anyone

Wouldn’t mind if they keep lowering power consumption…
NENathaniel@lemmy.ca 6 months ago
We got USB C 14>15, that’s an upgrade on its own tbh
x00z@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Because they got forced to do so, lol.
NENathaniel@lemmy.ca 6 months ago
100%, not denying that

And yet people always want to upgrade to the latest one.
4lan@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Who are these people? All my friends and family keep phones for 3-5 years. Im the “new phone” guy and I’m on a 3 year schedule
dan@upvote.au 6 months ago
I don’t have an iPhone but quite a few people at my workplace are on that plan with Apple where you can upgrade every 12 months: www.apple.com/shop/iphone/iphone-upgrade-program
Suavevillain@lemmy.world 6 months ago
It feels like Phones really don’t have anywhere else to go in terms of meaningful upgrades outside of speed.
urheber@discuss.tchncs.de 6 months ago
yeah, someone could release an actually useful phone (USB ports, SD cards, hardware switches for everything…) phones could’ve been so amazing, but what we have now is nothing short of useless.
communist@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz 6 months ago
If they figure out durable scratch resistant creaseless foldables, it’s actually over for form factor changes
4lan@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Bro they are ready. Check out the OnePlus Open. Typing this on my outer-screen now, it’s very comfortable and feels like a normal iPhone closed.
I bought it second hand and the screens are still flawless. I do not baby my phones. It is currently case-less
The crease is practically non existent, I constantly get comments on that. I think people are used to how Samsung’s folds have a deep valley crease.
sheogorath@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Even in its current iteration, barring material conditions that disallow me from keeping my foldable phone, I think I’ll keep owning one for the foreseeable future. It truly feels like something new in a sea of black rectangular slabs.
4lan@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I can believe why you think that if you use iPhones. Foldables are out here completely changing the game. Apple will make one in 2030 I’m sure
Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
And it’ll be so revolutionary… Somehow

AbsoluteChicagoDog@lemm.ee 6 months ago
You can say shit on the Internet
Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 6 months ago
No, seriously…someone explain to me why so many children think you can’t cuss online anymore. Is it because of the hardcore shit like that on Tik Tok? Do these kids believe the entire internet is censored that bad?

SonicBlue03@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
The bezels are pretty wide on these examples. Some people like that though.
DmMacniel@feddit.org 6 months ago
I love good bezels where you can actually hold your phone securely and not have to balance it on the bottom with your thumb.

Soup@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Ok? That’s the outside of the phone, and frankly all the other options also look the same just more plasticky. It’s called being recognizable.
Louisoix@lemm.ee 6 months ago
Dog shit’s also easily recognizable, and people also keep stepping in it.
Soup@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Sure thing, my dude. I do hope you guys one day get personalities based on what you like instead of what you hate. You’ll be happier and I’d love that for you.

Outside of software, the only ones I remember that I cared about hardware-wise was USB Display-out & a Stylus. Though some android tablets are getting tiny fans so I do like that, and two USB-C ports does make up mildly for removing the audio port
Pacattack57@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I am on the fence about switching to a Galaxy this year. Someone convince me. I’m coming from an iPhone 12. My biggest hangup is going to be moving my stuff over.
LordKitsuna@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Just stay on your current phone till it’s dead. And even if you switch to Android avoid Samsung it’s a bloated disaster. Use oneplus or import a sony phone if you want headphone jack microsd slot and hardware fingerprint reader
trxxruraxvr@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Get a Fairphone then.
Fuzzy_Red_Panda@lemm.ee 6 months ago
If you go Android, I recommend a sony phone. Unlockable bootloaders, microsd, headphone jack, exceptional audio, good camera.
I even recently replaced the battery in my Xperia 1 iii.
histic@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 months ago
Coming from a pixel guy who recently bought a 16 pro apps just plain don’t work as well like even google apps run better but that’s not to say they are bad on android things “just work” sometimes on iOS
hdnsmbt@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Can you give an example of an app not working “as well”? Do your emails get wrangled or anything?

The things consumers most want are features they really don’t want to give us, like expandable storage, replaceable batteries, and other actual solvable problems where they stand to benefit.
Best I can do is AI.
Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Most people wouldn’t know what to do with expandable storage, replaceable batteries, and the rest of that.
can@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
I’m not sure how many people need more storage but the current way is predatory and the general public would pick up battery swaps pretty easily.
Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 months ago
Dude we used to have expandable storage in the form of micro SD cards and same with batteries. People know or could figure it out.
Someonelol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 months ago
The free market has been deliberately shit at meeting the demands of the market for quite some time. Big players like Apple have been very good at manufacturing hype and loyalty to deliver mediocre products for a consistent revenue stream instead. Smaller companies are either too irrelevant to make an impact or just try to mimic the more successful companies instead.

Maybe Framework will make an Android phone.

I went from a 6.5 year old iPhone to a 16 man pro max big and it’s amazing. I dig that I can keep a phone for over six years
Eheran@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Who stops people from using them 6 years other than the people themselves?
Resonosity@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Fairphone 5 can do that, and even give you choice over your RAM.
Although the phone isn’t sold in the US, it will work the best on T-Mobile since the Fairphone 5’s chipset best aligns with those frequencies (sorry for the reddit post).
Would’ve been my first phone after my previous 7 year old Galaxy Note9, but it incurred water damage. Definitely considering it still though even with my new phone lease because of the Fairphone 5 being unlocked
henfredemars@infosec.pub 6 months ago
Real shame it’s not sold in the States! And I would prefer a higher-end processor option but I understand the choice for support.
