    I’m curious how the foldable Pixel will turn out. Especially if it’ll still be so moddable and have a relockable bootloader… Kinda doubt it

      If I’m ever to get a folding phone, it would have to be. After my current phone I swore I will never get a phone I can’t change the OS on again

      A foldable for mobile Linux would be amazing, I love my PinePhone Pro with keyboard case, but you could use a foldable as a mini laptop with a touch keyboard on the bottom half (maybe not the best experience though). Having a bigger screen for doing productivity stuff especially with an external keyboard would be amazing, but I don’t want Android anymore.

        Regarding the keyboard on the bottom, I can imagine some physical keypad accessory for the bottom half, like what Lenovo is doing with their foldable tablet/laptop thingy, just on a smaller scale.

          That’s basically what the PinePhone keyboard accessory is. The phone clips into the top half and the bottom half is a physical keyboard. It is essentially a pocket sized laptop. I’m typing on it now and I can actually type much faster on this than any normal touch phone keyboard since you can properly touch type on it.

            That looks sweet. Like a Psion 5.

            Not what I’d personally have much use for (kinda like using phone in vertical an in-hand), but yea, leave it to small indie companies to come up with important things.

            Ed: but I was referring to this where the keyboard can be attached right to the bottom screen.
