I just don’t see how a flip phone is practical, it’s thicker in your pocket, way more complex, and very expensive.

Yea, book style foldables (even though they still have the thickness, complexity and price tag) at least offer far more usefulness being able to deliver a near-tablet size screen when needed and a somewhat regular smartphone when not
These flip phones are nothing but a nostalgia cash grab IMO
I bought a wallet case so its only as big as a wallet. Now I only have one object in my pockets instead of 2. Without the case its pretty slim folded up.
I will add as someone who just got the z flip 6 as my first foldable, the biggest thing I’m enjoying and that the people around me are noticing, is that I don’t get “drug” into excess screen time just from looking at a notification. I’m more likely to dismiss it or deal with it quickly from the cover screen, or make a more conscious decision to open the phone up to engage, if that makes any sense.
I don’t think it’s recency bias or just trying to justify the purchase, and it’s probably fair to call it a really expensive solution to a self control problem, but it has changed the way I use my phone in a more significant manner. I also enjoy the form factor in the pocket, and for the security for NFC payment/taps, but that stuffs been covered plenty of places.
Do we like samsung all of a sudden?
It actually fits in women’s pockets
I had the fold4. I used the hinge maybe once a month tbh. I thought I’d use it more but its just not that practical. Despite babying the phone, the inner screen began to peel after a year of use. I’ll never buy another foldable screen until they worked that out. The phone itself was really heavy too and gave me wrist problems. I want to love the tech but it’s honestly still not there yet
All the durability of a foldable now with the screen size of a phone.
