Counter, counterpoint… I don’t think they are a dumb idea per se, or that they should be the new standard paradigm in smartphones. The issue right now with all of them is that they START at $900 and up. That’s well beyond what I want to, or am willing to spend for a smart device that I will most likely have to recycle inside of three years because the battery is a disaster to replace. For me, it’s not an option until it’s in the sub-500 dollar range. Midrange tech is just too good to drop $1,000+ on a phone these days. I don’t think foldables will be taking over anytime soon.
you say that midrange tech is good these days so I have to ask- i’m about to replace my old iPhone SE, and I’m thinking about going the android route.
i’m looking at the Google pixels, and I wonder if I should get the 7A or seven pro. The seven pro is only like eight dollars a month more, so if its worth it I would choose that
I have a Pixel 7 and don’t feel like I’m missing out by not having the Pro (I have had Pixel devices since the 2XL). It all depends on whether you want a larger screen (I think the 7 is already plenty large), and a telephoto lens. The processor is the same in both, and battery life is decent in both as well. $8 a month doesn’t SEEM like much, but over a year it’s almost $100. So you have to ask if those things are worth it to you or not. I have a Dbrand Skin on mine to make it pop a bit over the black. Overall, I think you’ll be more than happy with the 7.

I had a 6 pro and downgraded to the 6a. Same experience with a smaller screen and slightly worse camera for near 1000$ less.
