    for $3500 you get this one
    vivo X300 Ultra - Nerdy Camera Review!
    200MP photos Zeis camera system

    I'd like the one that folds out to a tablet and has no centre line

    I use an iPad for tablet view. I keep my phone*small* so it fits
    conveniently in my pocket.

    Me too

    but then if you want tablet view you'll have totake your tablet with
    you as well as your phone.this phone give both options in the one
    device,

    Yes but it remains to be seen how reliable those are

    that still fits conveniently in a pocket

    Bullshit

    Do you really need something that big when not at
    home, with the real risk of failure when it matters ?

    I also use a phone a lot at home, and tablet view is great for reading >>> websites or doing stuff. I hate trying to do things on a small mobile
    screen.

    Tablet or computer at home, phone when on the move and I can't bring
    the tablet along.

    Or even one that is guaranteed to still work unfolded
    in the situation where the fold mechanism has failed ?

    Bullshit

    Obviously you have never owned a passport.

    lol. you're wrong on that! :)

    I was talking to speedo about that.

    Still face down in the mud, as always

    You haven't thought up anything new since 1994.
    You have been face down in the mud for your
    entire pathetic excuse for an existence

    Q.E.D.

    Corse that isn't a repeat from you over decades, eh ?

    I have never said that before, you
    pathetic excuse for a fuckwit pom

    Corse that isn't a repeat from you over decades, eh ?

    fitting the wallet would be though.

    But your phone is much too hard to get OUT OF YOUR POCKET WHEN
    SITTING DOWN

    No difference whether it's my actual phone or one the size of a
    passport.

    BOTH aren't viable, fuckwit

    The difference is thata you don't normally need to take your
    passport out of your pocket WHEN SITTING DOWN but you
    do with a fucking phone

    I don't see why it's so difficult.

    Then you need to try it with the bigger phones

    it's to be expected with larger than normal phones that they would be difficult to remove from a normal size pocket, so why complain about it


    if it's in a side pocket, just lean to the other side.

    Don't need to do that with an iphone SE3

    so why do you have a problem


    And that won't work with jeans front pockets

    it will if you arch your body and lean back


    if it's in a shirt pocket, it shouldn't be a problem.

    We aren't taling about shirt pockets
    and T shirts don't have pockets usually

    And shirt pockets risk the phone falling into the dunny

    only if you lean forward over the bowl, so don't do that, or take the
    phone out before you do


    and since you're sitting down it wouldn't be in a back pocket

    We aren't talking about back pockets

    It remains to be seen how long those foldables will last

    And I'm not stupid enough to use an android phone, >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> nothing even remotely like secure enough for me

    Apple release one today,

    No news

    you can pre-order it from JB HiFi

    Not stupid enough to buy one

    Like I said, it's far from clear how long those abortions >>>>>>>>>>>>> will last, I don't buy phones that big when minimised >>>>>>>>>>>>> because they are impossible to get out of your pocket >>>>>>>>>>>>> when silling down and in the case of apple, not stupid >>>>>>>>>>>>> enough to pay anything like that stupid price

    Folded, it's supposed to be the size of a passport, so >>>>>>>>>>>> fitting the pocket should not be a problem,

    I wasn't talking about it fitting into the
    pocket,I was talking about getting it OUT
    of the pocket to use it when sitting down.

    If it is indeed the size of a passport when folded, there >>>>>>>>>> should be no problem.

    what's the width of an aussie passport?

    https://grok.com/share/bGVnYWN5_421d04bc-edff-4d94-b455-8e41b886072b

    I'm pretty sure it's more than thewidth of an average mobile >>>>>>>>> phone

    Yep, he's fucked up, as always

    The size if a passport is 90mm x 125mm, my phone is 80mm x 150mm, >>>>>>> so the difference is fuck all.

    I don't complain, I have enough of a clue to use
    more viable sized phones like the iphone SE3

    if it's in a side pocket, just lean to the other side.

    Don't need to do that with an iphone SE3

    so why do you have a problem

    I don't, I JUST said I'm not interested
    in that stupidly expensivr thing

    And that won't work with jeans front pockets

    it will if you arch your body and lean back

    I'm not stupid enough to fart around like that

    if it's in a shirt pocket, it shouldn't be a problem.
