      Been playing the fuck out of advanced wars 2. That little handheld had some bangers! Ff6, minish cap, gumby vs the astrobots… The list is a mile long!

    Foldable flip phones are an overly complicated solution to a nonexistent problem. They are kinda neat, but is that enough?

      Foldable flip phones are an overly complicated solution to a nonexistent problem.

      They solve the same problems as the original folding phones. They allow you to keep you phone in your slacks or skirt pocket without destroying the look of your outfit or the screen of your phone.

      Slab phones are a disaster for pocket-ability. Yes you can shove it in your back pocket where it looks like ass, breaks your ass when you sit down, and breaks the screen or the phone itself if you sit down in the wrong way or on the wrong thing.

      Folding phones solve those problems.

        With folding phones, you now have a slab half as tall and twice as thick. Not really solving too many problems with that form factor.

    Its a gimmick, make an actually small phone. “Uhh actually its not possible…”, brother, the volume of the flip is already small enough for a 6 inch phone(maybe even smaller) and thats not even considering the extra screen and hinge hardware needed for folding, plus the whole other screen on the other side. They could easily make an amazing 6 inch phone but they refuse to.
