Global sales of foldable smartphones rose by an impressive 49% in the first quarter of 2024, but Samsung's sales fell by 42% compared to the same quarter last year, meaning the technology giant was unable to maintain its position at the top of the market.

    I use Sony Xperia phones, they aren’t as big and still have the same features I love - SD Card and Headphone Jack

        None, Sony makes no promises of long term support. The most they usually support a device is two years if even. Typically they only commit to one version of Android upgrade and then you are on your own.

            That’s not bad. I usually keep a Pixel around to AOSP Style ROMs just in case nothing compelling comes out between big vendor releases. I’m already dreading the day my Galaxy Flip4 goes OOS. Have a Pixel 7 running Graphene as a backup/ travel burner currently.

        They will give you updates for about 2 years. Every device I had was upgraded from 13 to 14. I personally don’t have a problem with it. Sometimes new features you don’t like so you stick with the old.

          I couldn’t care less about the major versions, but announcing they’ll stop with the security fixes three years after the release date for a device that I can’t update reliably any other way was a deal breaker for me.

          That and the fact that they, too, are just too damn huge. Yes, even the 5 and 10. No, their aspect ratio doesn’t fix that. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
