The billion dollar co-op huawei has a bifold tablet that includes a physical, detachable keyboard.

But go-off Samsung. Now they've got 3 times the screen to auto- install their shitty games on

For God's sake, people want a keyboard on a phone not more folds. Add a keyboard & become a hero.

I want a keyboard, but not one with little keys with small travel. Give me a real keyboard, with real (preferably buckling spring) switches, and good travel. It still needs to fit in my pocket though - which is why I suffer with a touch screen so often. Sure I have a nice 60% Bluetooth keyboard (Cherry switches are not ideal but a large step up from most keyboards) , but it doesn't fit in my pocket and so I schelp it only when I expect to type a lot.

Sir it sounds like you want a laptop phone. Or do you mean small keys but with mechanical switches?

[–] bluGill@fedia.io 1 points 3 months ago

What I want isn't even physically possible. I still want it though. I settle for various compromises because I can't get what I want. This phone might or might not be a step in a better direction.

I won't buy a phone with any fewer than 16 folds.

Yawn. Samsung can have more money and attention from me when theyhave something i want. Give it 5 years.

A few ideas: A) projector! They are like $99 on Amazon now, put in phone. B) and app that pairs w Google glasses to count calories and nutrition of everything I eat all day. C) faraday cage setting D) no bloatware C) idk, im content... anyone else have ideas?

You want 2-3 phones instead of a folding phone. Light pocketable phone for actual mobile purposes. Can get a data only esim phone with voip to supplement voice/text phone, and have independent enabled data. independent charging. Backup when broken/lost phone. I suggest:

1-2 lightweight phones for mobility.
1 large possibly rugged phone for video or rugged adventures. Can be steam deck on a stand that is better setup as a dashboard. email + web tickers/discord. samsung and other phones also have a "desktop multiwindow mode"
3rd phones, can help with having 2 separate phones act as bluetooth keyboard and trackpad. Keep banking/secret stuff seperate/more secure during travel. Keep one in a locked tilt/swivel stand near bed most of the time. mod to alternate os.

2 or 3 phones is much more storage/ram and audio quality than including a tablet, with better portability options in both packing and daily use. It's also much less $, and can leapfrog upgrades.
