Global sales of foldable smartphones rose by an impressive 49% in the first quarter of 2024, but Samsung's sales fell by 42% compared to the same quarter last year, meaning the technology giant was unable to maintain its position at the top of the market.

    My last Google Pixel barely touched water and that was the end of that. Meanwhile, I remember a friend literally dropping his flip phone into a glass of beer (intentionally to show off its waterproofness) nearly two decades ago and it being perfectly fine after he took it out.

    I don’t have a point, I’m just still bitter about the Pixel. I wish more companies would make smaller phones.

      Weird that your Pixel didn’t handle water

      I’ve dropped my 8 pro into the tub like 8 times in the 8 months ive owned it and it just disabled the port and is fine

      Same with my pixel 6, 4, and 2 XL

      Come to think of it I haven’t lost a phone to liquid since my LG G7, which I dropped into a bucket of diesel

          I used to keep my phone in my breast pocket because I wasn’t allowed to wear headphones at work but WAS allowed to put it there and play audio aloud

          Thus my phone would flip out far more often than a normal person
