Google just announced the Pixel Fold. We'll learn more next week at Google I/O 2023.

Why can't you be that cool?

Can't wait to boot calyx in it

OLED unleashed!

My s21 Ultra is starting to feel a bit old. Also really really want to switch to GrapheneOS which I'm assuming would support this in no time... Very tempting

they would. all pixel devices will have their images, source, and binaries released.

Even though I’m an iPhone guy, it’s nice to see some diversity in form factors.

I have to be pessimistic about the number of apps that’ll take advantage though. Maybe it’ll support any two apps running side by side? That could be petty useful just by itself.

I don't think it's like the other fold phones. This looks like the OS treats it as a single screen. Apps will just resize to fit.

If so, that just reinforces the sense that Google can’t really do anything in a coordinated fashion. I guess we’ll see..

Why is it bad?

Apps need to be designed for the form factor for usability. E.g. If a nostr app stretches note text all the way across the screen it’ll be very difficult to read. Android tablets have had these sorts of problems for years.
