    no but genuinely this. My phone has the same screen size as my nintendo switch, and I’m unironically supposed to fit that in my pocket and have it be comfortable

      I’m always shocked at how big the Nintendo switch was, and yet had such a small screen. I remember the first time I wondered, and held my galaxy s9 plus up to the screen and was like “holy shit it’s the same size - how is the switch so much bigger and looks so much worse?”

      That being said, I do support the idea of multiple sizes of phones for people that want different things. Let there be iPhone 1 or 2 size phones for people that want something convenient and small, and give me a 10 incher because I like that and need it in my life :) Also, well-balanced, front-facing stereo speakers for fucks sake. Stop doing this weird one-forwards one-out stuff, Samsung, it sounds like shit.

        I don’t work for them, I just happen to like the idea that there is a phone company making smaller sized phones, phone with physical keyboards, etc.

        IB4 the comments complaining about android versions and such. Yes, I get it. Some of them are still running android 11, yes that is a security risk. Could be though that the people that want a small form factor phone also don’t want to do banking or other financially related things on it as well.

          I feel like the two groups of people that just want to make phonecalls and texts, but who also just want a small phone, have a lot of overlap.

            They are most likely a circle lol.

            I’ve have Samsung phones for a long time, and I’ve come to accept that I suck at typing with a virtual keyboard. So I think my next phone will be a Titan 2, or hopefully a Titan 2 slim since the 2 seems to be pretty big.
