I am praying that they do trade ins and i can get an oled without having to buy a whole new one

[–] big_slap@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

this is my thought as well. im considering just selling mine to a friend for a good pricr so they can get in on the fun too

Why wouldn't it just be a direct replacement for the old one? Is it a different size?

[–] LemmyFeed@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (4 children)

The OLED is larger in size so I doubt it's a direct replacement.

[–] Dhs92@programming.dev 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Larger in screen space but the actual screen itself should be the same size. Seems like they just shrank the bezels

[–] ekZepp@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

From a couple of videos on YT seems the exact size, the skins, boxes and covers should be fine with the new model too.

[–] Kbobabob@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I just saw that. Bummer

[–] Magrath@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago

I think it's just a smaller bezel.

[–] Rustmilian@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

It's a completely different device, read the specs.

I don't think that's gonna be possible, they slightly revised the whole board layout. Maybe if you're lucky.

By trade-ins I think they mean exchange. We all love the repairability but I don't think this person was wanting to manually install the upgrades.
