    Normal phones folding into smaller sizes is good: it’s making it more compact.

    • @utubekullanicisi
      @utubekullanicisi Год назад +1

      Is it worth paying the same amount as a flagship phone for a smaller battery and worse cameras though? In the end the price might get cheaper but I dont think the battery and cameras will ever be as good as "normal" flagship phones, and thus I think normal flagship phones will always have a market. But the battery size problem at least might not matter if the rest of the phone's components get efficient enough for the phone to last 2 full days regardless.

    I tech channel from jack would be incredible. I love his genuine care and love for tech shows and he wants his audience to be in the know. I have the Zflip 4 and I absolutely love it, the crease is super noticeable after about 8 months. The best phone I've ever had, and for $1000 cad (after trade in) was great. I like it because I only wear shorts and when it's folded in my pocket I have more room for everything else I like to carry. Yeah it's thicker but I also don't have to worry about the screen getting scratched. The main reason I bought it is so that I would use my phone less, pretty fuckin stupid but it's worked. Being able to see the notification and be less easy to open it and check everything has made me more in the moment! Anyway great video, love you man!

    Why is this an honest and earnest take on the pixel fold. I genuinely love this. I agree with you up to down. Competition is awesome, and although I kinda like the thinner cover screen of the fold for one handed use (if you use 2 hands, why not open it), I am so freaking happy. Google supporting foldables natively on Android means manufacturers won't have to spend as much effort to build features that are missing from the platform for their foldable phones. Competition competition competition.

    I bought a preowned Galaxy Z Fold 3 earlier this year, and it's by far the best phone I've had. The foldable screen gives me a tablet, and the cover screen is easy to use quickly. I even bought an S Pen and use it to write down quick notes when giving piano tuition since it's more convenient than using paper, and I can never bother to type out quick notes like that. I live in Australia, so I'm not sure what Samsung's competition is down here, but the idea of foldable phones, or I guess hybrid smartphone/tablets getting more popular is really cool because they're just kinda handy! Although it would kinda suck not being the only person I know with a foldable, I think anyone who could use the novelty of a foldable phone should be able to appreciate it.
    Also, if I had a disposable income, I'd definitely buy one of those flip phones because they're dumb and I kinda love that. My Fold would be my actual phone, though. Flip's more set dressing/backup.

    I love hearing Jack agree almost word for word what I believe about foldables. When I tell my friends, no one cares. It's good to know Jack's in my corner

    I appreciate Tech Jack. Pretty cool seeing him speak in a serious tone for once!

    What excites me about the pixel Fold as well is that it's compact when folded. In a world full of massive, chonky smartphones that I can scarcely use with one hand, and with the more up to date compact models being some of the more pricey ones, it's a welcome change to see a phone that's less than 6 inches in height leading the pack and hopefully inspiring a return to more compact phone sizes across the price spectrum

    I unironically hope we get more Tech Talk, more often.
