I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand - Lemmy.ca

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

You sound like you need the new Razr or the Z Flip

I love the idea of foldable phones but I cannot trust myself with something so fragile. I can hardly even take care of a traditional phone.

I’m lucky the Pixel 6 is as easy to repair as it is I’m on my third screen in like 2 years.

It might be easy but I just bought another used 6 for the price of a new screen. Compared to what a screen on my 4a cost, its crazy to fix the 6.

You never heard of a phone case?

Yes I have but they aren’t much help against an SUV

Why are you running your phones over?

It’s a long story

I loved the idea of these foldable phones until I saw a Z Flip in real life, and it’s so damn huge when open, feels really uncomfortable to use. Was pretty disappointed :(

I agree, that’s why I moved to the Razr, it fits a lot better in the hand.

I feel like that doesn’t actually solve the problem

It literally fits in the palm of your hand and you can use it as a fully functioning device while closed, what do you mean?

I didn’t realize you had access to all the same features and cameras while closed.

Can I get that, but without unfolding? I didn’t need it to unfold, I just want it to be small
