It would be cool if you read the first paragraph

Android 10+ devices via Play services

That makes no sense. Wouldn’t that make Android 15 B and 16 C?

Not when devices with rolling screens are on the horizon.

You underestimate the opportunity of selling a single device that costs significantly more than both combined (this one literally does).

Idk about no crease but Samsung’s appear to be the most noticeable from what I’ve actually seen. I think other manufacturers have improved on this over time but I haven’t seen anything newer than my Pixel Fold in person.

IIRC display and chip manufacturing are basically treated like separate businesses from the phones as a product. And all the other companies foldables are better than Samsung’s (imo at least) because they haven’t innovated or improved in several generations.

I’m not a Samsung fan by any stretch, but this I would love to see.

Android Automotive OS is a blank slate for car manufacturers to customize and claim is their own creation, consumers will never know it exists.

It’s definitely not great, but considering one is for consumers and the other is explicitly not it’s not that bad.

Well yeah, it’s pretty common knowledge that all those cheap TV boxes running AOSP (not Android TV) are crap and should be avoided.

This thing costs $2800…

This. They fucked up the one thing that made the original the best Foldable ever made IMO. Hopefully they get it right next year.

I realized this completely misses the point, but the problem is actually dust not water. All these foldables are IPX8, meaning they are highly water resistant but not rated for dust and debris.

I completely agree with your repairability point btw.

Huh? Each hinge will be doing exactly the same thing as every other foldable for the last 5 years.

Why would it need to lock? It’s no different than a normal foldable in that regard, the hinges are firm and hold in the position you put it.

The app isn’t enabled by default so stock Pixels aren’t even vulnerable without physical access to an unlocked device.

GTK is a multi-platform toolkit for creating graphical user interfaces.

Made but GNOME

Definitely to this extent.

Google started making the Tensor mobile SoC because Qualcomm (and everyone else) weren’t investing enough in hardware for ML/AI. We just happen to be seeing a lot of years of investment finally culminating now.

Huh? Google was an AI company 10 years ago…

This is straight up tinfoil hat. You really think they architected a whole new chip and had it fabricated just to data mine what songs you are listening to? You don’t think it would be easier to just send that data from Android? Apple, Sony and everybody else has custom chips for ANC and audio processing, it is in no way a generally solved problem.

It’s actually sad that shit comments that don’t even make logical sense get upvotes on here “because Google bad”.

Yes. I was very excited for notification snoozing, but having only a couple options and the longest being 2 hours makes it sorta worthless.
