Retarded ratio, the whole point of a small phone is to be able to type with a single hand, this one is so wide you can't and then the keyboard hides 90% of your screen.

China is becoming a very competent manufacturer. However, Chairman Mao eradicated the creative gene from the Chinese gene pool in the 50's and 60's.
They are, as a consequence, creatively impaired.
Ex, a ski equipment company get bought by the Chinese, proceed to outsource manufacturing to China, then R&D follow...
Months later, R&D is back to the original country because Epic creative flaccidity no Viagra can cure.
It's real. I experienced it second hand.

FUCK YOU HIROSHIMA NAGASAKI, EAT ANOTHER NUKE YOU SEMEN GARGLING FAGGOT.

Ideally flip/fold meme tech can be used for an actually functional small phones, with access to bigger screen ONLY when needed
But flip is too small and unusable when closed while fold is too big (too long) when folded

I have a fold 7 and the fucking phone has a dedicated selfie camera in every single screen plus 3 main cameras, for God's fucking sake, just make people use the main cameras with the phone unfolded or use better under screen tech like on the gaming phones.

close, but that makes it bigger. Just have the keyboard hide away somehow.

>>106138251
I always thought it was because people on phones can't click on small buttons for some reason. Anyway, it's high time we make phones more like desktops. A scroll "wheel" (probably touch pad) would help phones immensely. A full touchpad with mouse on the back would be insanely good. Anything to get people to stop tapping on the screen for everything. Touchscreens are a cancer on design.
