After the “original” BlackBerrys (pre-Android), which I greatly miss for their physical keyboards and battery life, I’ve been searching for a device that’s ideal for using a terminal on the go. I’m intrigued by foldable phones but fear they might disappoint (besides being extremely expensive and often having questionable cameras).

Does anyone have experience with them and know if it’s feasible to use a terminal app (like Termux) comfortably on these devices?

    @stefano@bsd.cafe I just wanted to say how much I miss BlackBerry’s keyboard, even on a phone. I have my own views, and I’d rather prefer a mini-PC than a phone. But that’s not what you asked. Even if it’s not my cup of tea, I’d suggest a foldable Bluetooth keyboard as a companion to an android [tablet|phone].
