Our poll results show that only a minority of you want the thinner phones that Apple and Samsung are promising.

I like my fat Pixel 9. The edges are satisfyingly grippy!

I use 2 phones. Far better than foldables, can upgrade independently.

I absolutely would want the lightest/thinnest phone possible that is god enough for phone calls/texting, and then my other phone is gaming, and mostly home phone stuff.

I don’t fucking care of having an even slimmer addictive machine in my pockets. Give me a phone that weights 400g but that has a fucking replaceable battery (that lasts 2/3 days), a good OS, doesn’t track me and I can set up as I want.

I just got a new phone on Friday. There were like 50 kinds, various sizes and thicknesses, foldable, not foldable. The one I got is pretty slim but I’m guessing if people want thick phones someone will keep selling them.
