whatever ended up happening to ol' blackberry, anyway? last i remember they were showing off rebadged androids to nonplussed press in a vegas hotel room or something.

anyway: Reuters: Samsung Electronics says no anticipated shipping date yet for Galaxy Fold

quote:

SEOUL (Reuters) - Samsung Electronics said on Tuesday it cannot confirm the shipping date for its foldable device Galaxy Fold yet and apologized to its pre-order customers in the United States for the delay.

The world�s top smartphone maker delayed global sales of the splashy $1,980 foldable phone after reviewers discovered problems with its display, dealing a setback to Samsung and its efforts to showcase its innovation.

�If we do not hear from you and we have not shipped by May 31st, your order will be canceled automatically,� the South Korean tech giant�s U.S. subsidiary told Galaxy Fold pre-order customers in an email late on Monday, which was confirmed by a Samsung spokeswoman.

As per U.S. regulations, Samsung was required to notify customers that the pre-orders would be canceled in the event the product had not been shipped by May. 31, it said in a separate statement to Reuters.

Though the issue does not hurt Samsung�s balance sheet, the postponement damages the firm�s efforts to portray itself as an innovative first-mover, analysts have said.

Samsung has said it plans to make at least 1 million Fold handsets in the first year, versus the total 300 million phones it produces annually on average.

It closed Galaxy Fold pre-orders earlier due to what it said was �high demand�.

https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/05/07/pixel-3a-everything-new-different-or-removed-compared-to-the-pixel-3-and-3-xl/

Here's some changes from the 3as to the normal 3s.

New:
- Google added the headphone jack back to the 3a/3a XL because they believe that people who can't afford $600+ phones also can't afford Bluetooth headphones. So the Pixel 4 most likely will not have a headphone jack.

(EDIT: I had to quote this because that just seems dense as gently caress but...
)

- Time Lapse mode is new for Pixel devices and will be on all Pixels (1, 2, and 3) via OTA later but it debuts on the Pixel 3as first. You can do 5x, 10x, 30x, or 120x the original speed at 30 FPS.

Different than Pixel 3:
- Processor is slower and not as capable as the Pixel 3's.The GPU is also slower. If you play Fortnite, for example, it'll run at 20 FPS max. Touch latency and scrolling isn't very smooth either.

- Display is not Gorilla Glass and has a lower resolution. It uses Dragontrail Glass.

- The body is basically plastic.

- The speakers are not front-facing.

- Both of the 3as only have 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. No 128GB.

Removed:
- Pixel Visual Core
- Wireless Charging
- Unlimited original Google Photo uploads
- Wide Angle Selfie Camera
- No longer waterproof (no IP rating)
- No headphones in box.

i really didn't want to buy a google phone, but the fact that they include the big brothers camera, which spanks everything but that one huawei, actually makes it a pretty tempting device.

since it�s basically a lumia 520 but android

that lack of front speaker but rather a sound hole or whatever is going to make hearing it annoying if not impossible in some situations

lovely build lovely hardware - yeah I guess if you want to not buy a $600 phone but that�s not a 4 year device by any length .

if it�s all you can afford I guess it is attainable but ugh what trash

thats the kicker in that if you wait a year the previous pixel will cost the same as a refurb from a deal site

there's a front speaker at the top as well as the sound hole at the bottom

it has a great camera, a decent oled without a notch and a headphone jack. most people aren't really going to care that it's a bit slow (comparable to an OG pixel, which is fine). plastic is actually a plus imo. i droppped my nexus 5 a million times and didn't have to worry about it.

it's not a 4 year phone but considering it's like half the price and even flagships are garbage after ~2 years, getting this and upgrading to the pixel 5a or whatever in 2 years is not a bad way to go, esp for non techheads

i mean, it might still be lovely build quality, but if it is properly done plastic it is 100% going to be more durable/reliable than its aluminum counterparts, as has always been the case.
