I'll go shittier phone before I'll go phablet ever again. I bought a motorola razr 2023. I bought a foldable because I want the shit to fit in my pocket. It also is the only flip phone I've seen that hasn't made the imbecilic decision to coat the entire front panel in glass. I don't need a full miniature phone making my shit more fragile when it's clamped shut. If they continue to glass panel it up on the outside of newer editions I'll try to find a case that just covers the entire outside.

But ultimately I'm holding onto this thing as long as I possibly can.

I have no idea why everyone -- including the reviewers -- think people need a glass panel on the outside of a flip phone with all kinds of smart capabilities. The phone is fucking closed. If I want to use the phone I'll open it. All I need is maybe the time.

I miss my Droid Mini.
I mean, i still have it. It's just nigh worthless.

It's not even flagship phones. Even the cheaper ones are huge. When I had to replace my LG phone (6") I went to an electronics store to see what's on the market right now. Of all phones availiable there only were two android phones (I don't know which brand) that were sized similarly to my LG phone. Both of them were in the 800-€-price-range.

Similar with iPhones. Almost all models exceeded the 6" screen size, except for one or two models which were in the 1000-€-price-range. They also had an iPhone SE there, that had the desired size. I bought this as a refurbished one online for a fraction of the original price.

It's harder and harder to find a phone that has a size that either fits in your hand or that can be carried inside your pants without restricting your ability to sit down while the phone is inside the pocket.

Look at all that branding.

We're the kind of people that are pushing our phones to end of support, it's not a market that moves product and thus not one the big companies listen to.

I of course don't miss small flagship phones because my S10e is still perfectly serviceable.

My next phone will be e-ink at any size

and your pockets! in both the literal and figurative sense.

....its 2035 and the ending of jeans as we know them. Today the birth of the unipocket marks the start of another page in crotch covering technology. We'll no longer be bound by the primitive tubular jeans of old. Jeans with two small front pockets that wouldn't cover anyone's privates in the case, the oh so common zipper failure. No, no ziper, no flimsy buttons either. Those have always been weakness. The future is brighter than we could have ever imagined. That's right! Front and rear screens covering every crotch on the planets. And a screen belt to hold it all together. And for the perpetualization of Victoria's Secret, the new double circular scraw... A scraw covering every pair of tits on the planet! Imagine full crotch ads! Imagine all the profit!

I have big hands and loved my Samsung Galaxy Flip 4 for this reason, plus it would fit comfortably in my pockets (especially when leaning/bending forwards)

Notice the past tense? Despite taking very good care of it, the hinges didn't last long. Rip

Is what Pharrell calls his daily meds

Unihertz specializes in small phones. They aren't flagship spec but they are midrange at sensible prices. They also have keyboard phones and even a phone with a built in DMR radio for Amateur and GMRS use.

Not a plug, I don't even own one I just love that they are daring to be different.

The Oppo X8 (non-Pro) is probably the smallest flagship with a top level chip and good camera currently made but it is only available in a few markets.
