ijeff@lemdro.idMto Android@lemdro.id•The Google Pixel Fold broke my heart at launch but won it back completelyEnglish2·26 days agoI tried the Pixel 9 Pro Fold out for a couple weeks. Overall great concept but I’d like to have seen the inclusion of a better SoC and cameras. Reliability also seems to be a weak point according to the owner’s groups. They really need to work on that if folks are going to be expected to pay so much for a new device (or for a used one in the case of the original Fold mentioned in this article).

ijeff@lemdro.idMto Android@lemdro.id•Do you know anyone who wants an AI phone?English51·11 months agoIt depends on who you’re asking. The AI branding appeals to a lot of the more casual users I know, but it ultimately comes down to the actual functionality being added. It’s the first time in a long time that I’ve been interested in following smartphone developments. What our devices can actually do has been rather stagnant IMO.

Thanks for posting! I’m looking forward to the Gemini announcements.
Interesting. How does this freemium app compare to the open-source Collabora Office?
