I don't want large phones that get even larger. I want a large phones that becomes smaller for my pocket.

Get a Fold 7. It's the same size as your average flagship when folded. But be warned: Once you get used to having a tablet in your pocket, there's no going back. It's especially great for restaurant menus, mobile games, and YouTube.

This is why I got a Razr. Once the technology becomes common, I dream of a regular size phone that shrinks to a matchbook or something.

Same here. I didn't understand why anyone would want a double thick (or now triple thick 🫨) phablet that folds out into a full tablet.

The razr I bought two years ago is the first phone that comfortably fits in my pocket in like a decade.

Yes, but they still have problems. But I'm noticing a trend in foldable phone designs, and I'm worried that by the time foldable phones get really good, the ones that fold smaller aren't around anymore.

I want a large phone that gets larger but the larger screen is an e-reader.

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Huh... That's not a bad idea, actually.

Thanks. It would be nice to combine my phone and Kindle for less money than a regular folding phone. It would cut down a lot on doom scrolling for me.
