A small phone with flagship features are not happening.

To get a smaller phone, you have to give up screen quality, camera quality, fingerprint scanners and other flagship features.

I just want a small flip phone that acts as a smartwatch paired to my main phone. Nobody makes that either.

One less camera is fine, the other things make no sense. Good screens don’t take more space, and fingerprint readers are tiny.

It doubly makes no sense when you consider that we did have small flagship phones until recently.

I’m sorry but this sounds even more fucking stupid than smartwatches*

Yeah, it’s a specific use case thing that wouldn’t make sense for most people.

I could see it being good for construction or something, keep your main phone in a bag or whatever while you have a paired flip phone on ya. If it gets destroyed due to whatever reason itd be easier to replace.

I used to have a Motorola Droid Mini, which was just a Droid Maxx with a smaller screen and battery.

The mini had a terrible TFT LCD screen.

Loved the build quality of that phone.

Actually, the Xperia 5 series from Sony is “small” in comparison, so is the Pixel 8 and they all have the same hardware specs - except the zoom lense. Which is a damn shame, because my Pixel 6 Pro is just a tad too big. I wouldn’t wanna go back to my Xperia Z1 Compact, tbh. 4,3" is not big enough anymore…

Oh? Does it do some of the things I’ve come to believe are impossible?

This exactly.

I’ve been dying for a refreshed Galaxy Folder but with Samsung Dex.

Give me a basic flip phone, my essential Android apps, and key me use the powerful processor docked in desktop mode like a laptop.
