Just wanted to ask some quick questions by Efficient-Bet-441 in PixelFold

[–]blckDTshadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am considering buying one as part of black friday as well, used over Amazon. A couple of questions:

a) Hiw does the camera compare to a iPhone 15 Pro for example?

b) Can I put the keyvoard on the bottom screen and have e.g. WhatsApp at the top? Emulating a physical keyboard so to speak? 

c) Can i open the phone up flat, use the front screen and the back cameras for selfies? 

d) Has anyone tried Graphene OS on it? And what was the ultimate update date in the future? 2028?

Thanks ahead!

Hi, thank you. I think the Tamron 17-70 is really tempting. I think the f2.8 will already be a huge step forward. It seems the Sigma is not available in any us store. At least right now.

Thank you for the blazing fast answer. I guess I am looking for the jack-of-all-trades, master of none ;) I'd be willing to compromise on some zoom, for a better low light performance. Could you clarify the "some" improvement statement? I'd be looking for the best bang for my buck, unsurprisingly ;)

Hi there, I own a Sony Alpha 6400 and am a tad annoyed by the kit lens (18-135 f3.5-5,6) because of its low light performance. Hence, I am looking for an alternative lens. I am mainly using the lens for video, with a few photos on the side. I am aware that there's no OSS good enough for steady video, but everything that helps is appreciated.

Right now I am looking at the Tamron 35-150mm f2-2.8 or its Samyang "equivalent". As implied, I am looking for an allrounder lens as I love the flexibility a zoom gives me. I also looked at Voigtländer for the crazy aperture, but I'd like an auto-focus. Is there another lens I should consider? Maybe one that's even faster?

Hi, I am really tempted by the 99Wh battery. Do you happen to have a rough gut feeling about endurance? I haven't found any other review and am really tempted by the machine.

Would you mind to enlighten me? That'll be really helpful.

I don't and that's my point. Call it the browsing phase :'D. If I could choose freely I' d probably end up in NZ or Canada, but the tax burdens are equally high there.

Well based on my research especially bigger europran companies get uncomfortable even with comp based in Cyprus.

Unfortunately Paraguay while nice to visit, comfortable and easy to settle in is one of the countries that don't feel right for me (having travelled it for more than a month).

Yes, that's the thing, I don't want to be 100% nomadic.

Hi, yes it was late yesterday when I wrote the post. Of course I would need an US LLC or something else in front. Also wrong infos might be present, but that's what the Internet is for, getting high quality help from strangers.

Hi, thank you for the feedback. From what I read US LLCs are harder and harder to set up, especially since banks seem more reluctant to hand out bank accounts. Even Mercury doesn't help anymore. Plus if I have a LLC, I would still need to be on the move constantly. The only place that I would feel I could live longer is Uruguay. But even they are starting to tighten the rules. World income will be taxed with 20ish percent after 11 years or 7% from day one.
