upcoming OnePlus device, rumored to have a massive 7800mAh battery (per Wccftech).
and it would absolutely smoke the 5,000 and 4,685mAH batteries in the Galaxy S25 Ultra and iPhone 16 Pro Max.
Instead, Apple and Samsung seem to be prioritizing thinness at all costs, for reasons that aren’t entirely clear beyond aesthetics and bragging rights. It’s been years since I’ve heard anyone complain about how thick a phone is, if not a decade or more. Complaints have trended in the opposite direction, I’d say – without a case, some phones can be so thin and slippery that they’re hard to grip securely. Even my wife’s OnePlus 9 5G has that issue. A few foldables, like Google’s Pixel 9 Pro Fold , are so thin when open that they feel like they might bend or snap.
It’s called real-life testing, for tech necessary for folding phones and tablets.
You need to make it thin enough so you can stack two of them in a way that it won’t be too thick for the user.
Folding phones are hardly a necessary advance. They’re the next 3D TV.
They aren’t a necessary advance but they are so sick and are at least mildly useful
I feel the same about it, but then again, this is how they justify the next miniaturization levels, and I believe this will help bring up a lot of potential, unforeseen tech in the next years
