Am I the only one who wants absolutely no part of the X2? This wraparound glass. Samsung tried it before. They don’t do it anymore.
I’m also not interested in the Ultra. None of the folding phones appeal to me at all. I just see a potential point of failure.
People want to complain about Sony taking away their digital purchases and saying they’re just renting their games, but look how many people line up to do so. And to “rent” iPhones. So you get this thing that will break, by design, in a couple years, so you have to get another one. Which you’ll want to do anyway since the only real innovation any smartphone has anymore is AI. They’re not making emailing, typing, or web browsing better. Those have all hit their apex (and can be improved with software). Any flagship from any brand from the last 5 years is basically still good enough today, assuming the hardware hasn’t broken down.
But, they don’t care what I think — the phone I want is the one I have. I want that to last. My iPhone (16 Pro Max) is from 2024. My Android phone (Galaxy S10) is from 2019, and it still rocks. It’s mostly a cosplay prop now, but it’s also a music archive.
