I know I have small hands but c’mon. Flagship phones these days are strait up small tablets, not even what we’d have called on phablets 15 years ago.

I know it’s what people buy, but I’m still sad that if I want a phone that small then I have to deal with camera and display a couple gens old

    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.

      It’s useful to take pictures. I usually turn on the outside screen so the people I’m taking picture of can pose themselves better. My kids love it too.

      Sometimes I also use it for maps navigation when walking somewhere new. There’s actually lots of use cases for it, I just get a case with screen protector for it.

      I got the plus version of the same phone to get the bigger screen on the back.

      It wasn’t worth it, I never use that screen and it just annoys me. I wish my phone was smaller.
