the whole thing about not having different home screens on each screen is so classic google dumb

[–] startlefrenzy@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have a pixel fold. It makes sense to have different home screens but as someone who only keeps two pages (one for my most used apps and one for widgets) I don't mind seeing a combined home screen when I open my fold up

[–] dub@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Yea I gave the z fold from 2 to 4 and the separate home screens didn't really do anything for me. Having it combined now and in a smart way is what I like more.

[–] ayyndrew@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Idk, that seems like the most logical way to do it, the only disadvantage is not having widgets span across the middle of the unfolded home screen

I feel like I'm stuck in a time capsule as everyone zips past me!

There is no way in hell I'd ever pay 1000$ for a phone... Nevermind 2 thousand fucking dollars!

[–] dub@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I mean to be fair... You are paying for basically two phones or one phone and a tablet.

For $1800, you'd expect the slickest and most perfect mobile device you've ever owned... and, from what I'm reading, it's a gimmicky device with a lot of sacrifices necessary in order to make the gimmick work.

[–] dub@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

There really isn't that many sacrifices. I mean I'm not defending the cost but it's not like a crippled device compared to anything else.
