Samsung has announced the Galaxy Z TriFold, a foldable phone comprised of three ultra-thin (~4mm) panels and two sets of hinges, that unfolds into a 10-inch tablet. When closed, it resembles a standard smartphone with a 6.5-inch display that is 12.9mm thick. Because the main screen is so large, Samsung has created a "standalone" version of Samsung DeX, meaning it can switch to a PC-like desktop mode without attaching ...
It’s comments like this that make me worried about literacy rates and reading comprehension.
I want to replace my Pixel with a cutting edge phone that is user friendly, repairable, highly private, has all the features I like, and whose company is owned by its workers and not evil.

So now we talk priorities. With Google looking to close down android, I want something more open than stock android. My options are very limited. Graphene only works on the pixel line and not even the newest pixels, which are very underwhelming, so that’s not a great fit. LineageOS doesn’t seem to support any new phones albeit I didn’t cross reference every phone. The nothing phone, and every other competitor, seems lackluster as well.
So I’ve resigned to settling for any phone that’s cutting edge. If this is going to hopefully be my last mega evil corpo phone, I’ve been flirting with going with multiple screens because I doubt in 3 years there will be a non-corpo folding phone option if the normal slabs are still struggling. Samsung only “comes to mind”, and this might surprise or confound you, because we’re commenting on a thread about a Samsung phone.
If anyone has better recommendations for a last corpo phone out now or on the horizon, I’m all ears. And if someone wants to try and convince me there’s a great phone out there that can run a non-stock OS and still be a largely enjoyable experience I’m also ready to be wow’ed. But I’ve looked around a bit and failed to find anything.
You’re looking for a replacement for your Pixel that is also not too monopolized, and the first thing that comes to mind is Samsung?
