    The point of a samsung flagship is access to the S-pen. Specially in a form factor that turns into a small tablet. This defeats the purpose of a foldable. Who cares about an extra millimeter?

      I used the pen once on my fold when I first got it, and never again.

      Take my pen, give me that mm

        Same here. Parent poster needs to learn that other people have different needs and experiences than themselves.

            What is hard? Learning? Besides, you’re only proving our point. Samsung (and the market) have determined that the “one size” that people want is the one without an S-pen.

            But go ahead and downvote based on your feelings rather than facts. None of you own a foldable anyway so it’s not like your opinions actually matter here.

              Oh yeah? Seems you dropped the “people have different needs and experiences” point pretty quick. This reads like someone who has their identity wrapped up in the purchases that they make and can’t handle someone criticizing multinational corporations.

                Lol okay. Where was I defending Samsung? This all started with OP stating “the point of a samsung flagship is access to the S-pen” and “this defeats the purpose of a foldable” as if it was universal truth. It is not.

                But that how most people on Lemmy are, at least in the tech communities. They have no concept of nuance and are completely unable to see other points of view. They were wrong. You aren’t even making coherent points. I am happily moving on.

      I agree with you but a ton of people don’t so I think this is a good compromise. Give all the people who want a wide unwieldy, slim foldable for those who want it and charge them the premium for it. Just don’t touch my pen capable, comfortably one-handed thick and narrow Fold.
