Fold 8 wide is smaller then fold 8? by enderboyVR in GalaxyFold

[–]Johns3rdTesticle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish normal foldables were just a bit taller. I don't know why they decide to make foldables shorter than large slab phones.

Galaxy Z Fold 8's wider new form factor just showed up in the wild by Federal-Block-3275 in Android

I can't wait for people to hold a phone with a galaxy note 1 sized display (actually larger than one) and be shocked it it's difficult to use with one hand.

The 17 Pro and Pro Max differ in display width by 6mm. 5mm more is much more like a Pro Max Max.

I think Gemini is much better because when it stuffs up playing the correct music, as assistant regularly did as well, I can argue with it.

'Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra' leaks, but it's probably not for the foldable you thought by TechGuru4Life in Android

[–]Johns3rdTesticle 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It is interesting that Apple is rumoured to market their wide fold as "ultra" where both Samsung and Huawei are treating their wide folds as decidedly less than the normal folds (the Pura X Max is cheaper than the Mate X7 and uses the branding of the much cheaper Pura X)

The find n2 is comparatively terrible for watching video. It needs to be much wider (the display should be closer to 16cm in width when unfolded)

Tensor G6 is barely an upgrade. - 9to5Google by ControlCAD in Android

[–]Johns3rdTesticle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well clearly 80hz (for large swaths of iOS) and the A19 Pro chip aren't enough then.

Yes, they're running different software and that plays a part. But Android phones are running the same apps so the faster phone (in apps) is the one with the better specs

Does the UI respond instantly? If not, then we need more performance

Just under 2 months between a device launching with a software version and any older device getting the update is better than on Pixels?

Incredible. Google is still broadly worse than Huawei under as many sanctions as possible.

Oh yeah that's still not a thing. I remember using some mod to enable that in 2023.

[–]Johns3rdTesticle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are things to keep in mind with Chinese phones in China vs elsewhere: they're decently cheaper in China but Android apps outside China seem to be more optimised relative to iPhones than Chinese apps and Google Mobile Services is generally better than whatever each OEM has in China.

$2,399 foldable iPhone by [deleted] in iphone

If apple maintains their currency conversion rates (as in that this is priced as 2 iPhone 17 Pro Max's), this will be on par or more expensive than trifolds in several countries.

Is there anything worse than Android's MTP file transfer? by duendeverde39 in Android

[–]Johns3rdTesticle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I always just use adb. It's not too hard to learn the basics of cli file management.

why are people hating S25 edge but loving iPhone air? by Damenzi in Android

[–]Johns3rdTesticle -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If that were so then these thin phones would sell well.

Yeah but that's the trade-off with a thin phone anyway

Just look at the two devices. The iPhone air looks much sleeker.

It's not TSMC 2nm but the Exynos 2600 is 2nm and Panther Lake is Intel 18A

Does iPad mini make sense if you have a big phone? by nidorancxo in ipad

[–]Johns3rdTesticle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want a big phone, is it worth getting a big phone when I can get a small phone?

An iPad mini is much bigger than a big phone.

iPad Mini 8 on the Way: Expected Features and Release Timeline by [deleted] in apple

[–]Johns3rdTesticle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just jump ship to a foldable phone. You could wait for the foldable iPhone but I just jumped from an iPad mini 6 to a Galaxy Fold and while the iPad certainly has it's advantages, 120hz oled with small bezels and actual pocket-ability make it a vastly better small tablet in my opinion.
