    OT but form factor looks like a Sony Xperia. The trend points to sleek now?

    Edit: right, it’s a foldable.

      Sony got a lot of shit for making their phones skinnier and 21:9 but I honestly think it was great

      The screen being less wide meant typing one handed was easier, and I frequently have my apps split one on top and one below

      If only their phones weren’t so bloody expensive upon release. It’s always the same with them. Good phones that cost way too much, they get panned in reviews for it, then 3-5 months later they drop the prices because people aren’t buying at the full price… but by that point the reviews are already out there and public opinions are set! So stupid!

        What “shit”, that’s one of the reasons i bought it. The other being sdcard for backups. And got the Xperia 10 VI on Ebay for $250, factory-unlocked but it wasn’t. No shady stuff on it either but on it goes LineageOS anyway. Well, i would like to, but google thought i meant the IV, VI has no releases yet. But Sony is working on adding it to their Source program, trying Generic System Image (GSI) for now.

      I have a foldable, and it’s the best thing to happen to phones since they started creeping up in size towards phablets. One UI is terrible for the amount of bloatware that comes with it, though.
