Forget Pixel 10 Pro Fold. Its folds should look like Microsoft

Google almost properly with the first Pixels channel fold.

While Google reveals its latest folding, Pixel 10 Pro FoldThis year Made by Google eventI am still thinking about the original pixels. It was released in 2023, it was far from perfection phone. He was suffering from a lack of strength, and had a thick internal framework and It cannot open completely flat. Until then, it was a beautiful device with a shiny stainless steel structure that felt light in the hand. Not only that, it was wide. Make a shape that resembles a squatting passport compared to the slab style iphone and GalaxiesBut when it was opened, she had a width ratio to a height of 17: 9 TV -like.

Then, with Pixel 9 Pro Fold The following year, he threw Google Moleskine for the safety of Galaxy Z in style.

Pixel 9 Pro stipulated the factor that is similar to that of his predecessor in his predecessor to the tiles that occurred. Literally, Pixel 9 Pro Poly had the same percentage of width to the external screen height Pixel 9 Pro. Here, Google was foldable (unimaginable) for industry trends, after similar shape factors from Galaxy Z Fold 6and OnePlus is openand Xiaomi Mix 4 times And others.

Aside from the first pixel fold, the other phone was the first to go and its width is the first Oppo find n From 2021. Utiper Marquis Brownley It went to the extent that it is called the best foldable phone, in terms of the shape factor. Since then, OPPO has dropped the passport to obtain a foldable board, and it can also be seen with Oppo Find N5.

Why do all the folds look like

The main reason that all foldable phone makers have adopted a similar shape factor is the application support. External screen on Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 It contains the proportion of view to the height of a more typical phone, which means that the applications correspond to better with the similarity that resembles a smartphone. When opening it, downloading two applications side by side is well fit with what is a long rectangle.

“This is what prompted us to say, hey, we need to make this phone first in terms of design,” said Claude Zeluyerger, the Google Industrial Design Director, in 2024. Blog post About Pixel 9 Pro Fold.

Another problem is the support of the Android app for the tablet of tablets. IPad, which has a strong support from Apple, sells well and gets a lot of app updates to support the broader model factor. The same cannot be said to Android tablets. Many Android applications for display rates are not improved to the broader height. It is frequent A complaint from the fans and Technological columns book. This does not help that Google did not make a strong effort in the area of the tablet as well, with the company Smitation of the tablet line with a laziness After only one attempt.

Therefore, when I tried to run Reddit or some of the famous third -party applications on the wide screen of the pixels, the application will have black straps on both sides, mainly in the same percentage of the width to the height as a typical phone. This problem continues on longer continents as well; It is not just prominent.

Who will make a foldable can get it properly?

Although anemia support for the plate applications, I would like to see a folding phone with measurements Microsoft Surface Duo. It was released in 2020, and it was half a step towards foldable phones today. Instead of a folding internal screen, two screens were exchanged by hinges. I really felt that he was carrying a metal and glass notebook of Musksin. The interior screens on the surface had a width ratio to 4: 3, which also resemble a square. This is largely due to its chunky inner limits. The foldable screen technology has come a long way since. Assuming that Microsoft would have made foldable real in 2025 with minimal edges, the inner screen can have a 24: 9 transverse percentage. It would be a brutal device to watch YouTube, Netflix or games. And its rotation would nourish my eyes an endless pass from Instagram rollers.

The possibility of any foldable phone maker spans 16: 9 or 21: 9 minimal. Frankly, if any phone maker can do something bold, it will be Apple. Rumors were floating for some time Apple is working on a foldable -like folding for 2027. If Apple decides to jump into a good world like books, thanks to iPad, the iPhone will be widely folded ready to go without the need for developers to widely fix their applications. Assuming that the Apple is doing squatting and folding on a large scale, this movement is likely to push the rest of the smart phone market (again, apologize for the pun).
