I enjoyed the subtle shade (presumably at Samsung) when they discussed existing foldables having an awkward size, and choosing their new ratios and the asymmetric form factor. One edge square, one edge rounded, so all edges are rounded when open.
- MBCook 2mo agoI suppose Google too. Basically every single one.
- mardef 2mo agoIt's literally the same size as the Z Fold 8. The Samsung is $100 cheaper too.
- __aru 2mo ago> I enjoyed the subtle shade (presumably at Samsung) when they discussed existing foldables having an awkward size I don't think that was subtle shade... That being said, short-and-wide foldables have been done before, they just never stuck around. Google should've stuck with it on their Pixel Fold, same for Oppo with the Find N. Shame that the short-and-wide foldables took this long to become more mainstream, since to me it's been the obvious form factor ever since I tried the older Galaxy Folds.
- iknowstuff 2mo agoSamsung’s choice of square corners makes more sense for this type of device.
- qlte 2mo agoI don't understand the value of the asymmetric corners, it seems to be working around their decision to have absolutely massive corner radius? Why would you want that? I have a Z Fold 8 in the same passport form factor and it has slightly rounded corners on both the front and interior screen that are symmetrical along both axes. The usable space on the front screen is greater without those edges as it's just a ... normal phone screen? Am I missing something?
