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
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.
'Tis the season
None of that matters. End of support dates are published.
What matters is when that date is set for (traditionally based on the day it goes on sale) and when the new OS comes out (7 years from now). This is also only the guaranteed support date. They can (and have) delivered updates after the guaranteed date.
The aspect ratio is an enormous downgrade from last year. Complete deal breaker for me.
Huh? This is a hardware successor to the 2020 “Chromecast with Google TV”. This device will support casting. Casting isn’t going anywhere…
That’s not entirely true. They may have the same processor but they don’t have the same amount of RAM, which is actually super critical for on device AI tasks. They recently brought all the features to the Pixel 8, but it took additional time to optimize for 8 GB vs the 12 GB of the Pro.
What does any of this have to do with Google removing apps from the Play Store?
As you sort of alluded to timing makes a big difference because it’s a cat and mouse game. The last I had heard iPhones were pretty easy targets but some of the top end Android phones weren’t. iOS 17.4 is relatively new.
Who cares. Play Services backwards compatibility for new Android APIs and security updates being separated from the OS make this irrelevant.
You must be new here. People constantly state they love the ability to lay Pixels flat.
Also it doesn’t look like that’s changing with the 9 series…
Does F-Droid often sign apps they distribute? That seems odd.
This. They fucked up the one thing that made the original the best Foldable ever made IMO. Hopefully they get it right next year.
