Well, as promised, we are talking foldable this week. The excitement is palpable, and it looks like the rest of our mod team have already started the conversation here. Go check it out.
I honestly don’t know very much about foldable phones, so I’ll let the rest of our (very smart and knowledgeable) mod team handle this one this week. :)
Last thing for future reference at the end of the week, we also have a great thread discussing foldables here too, go check it out if you want more great discussions.
I have a Ulefone Armor 3W . It’s MIL-STD-810: built like a tank and waterproof. And that ain’t no marketing: I dropped that thing on the road while riding my bike so many times, and it just doesn’t care. And I use it regularly to take photos underwater. It’s fairly repairable too: it’s held together with a truckload of little Torx screws, but once they’re all out, the innards are easily accessible - and from what I can see, the battery easily replaceable.
My only problem with that thing is, it’s not deGoogled. And it’s Ulefone, so there’s a non-zero chance that it’s running Chinese spyware too.
So I retired it, much to my chagrin, and I’m currently rocking a Fairphone 4 running CalyxOS. I’m a bit more careful not to drop that one, and I can live without the waterproofness. Small price to pay to free myself from Google’s corporate surveillance to some extent.
