They are already absurdly large. I didn’t notice the size of my phone until I wanted to do simple gestures like going from the bottom to the top most part with my thumb or trying to type with one hand with the keyboard in its original state.
Before it didn’t bother me and I even celebrated it, since the bigger the screen, the bigger the videos and games. But now I realize how annoying it is to use the phone as a… Well, a phone. And it looks like it’s going to get worse with flip phones and other bullshit.
At this rate, “brick” phones are going to come back, and everyone will be “delighted”.
Have you seen the Tank 3 pro?

Brick at 179 × 86 × 30 mm and I kinda want one.
Meanwhile, female pocket sizes: image_not_found.jpg
Women are not allowed to have pockets, is in the Bible (I guess idk)
Why would my wife need pockets when she has 82 zillion designer handbags?
Can I have one of her designer handbags? I’m over here with these sewn shut pockets
I’d happily let you have them all :)
Maybe she have all that cuz she’s eager for some goddamn pockets.
We need to bring back Jnco jeans back for both men and women. Pockets galore. Also https://www.pocketsforwomen.co.uk/
They still make them. You can just buy jncos right now. Jnco.com. they’re just still stupid expensive.
Cool yeah i mean bring them back in fashion to wear.
I believe in your stardom. Bring it back!
Straight leg and baggy jeans with big pockets are plenty available for women.
None of those words are in the bible. /s.
The clothing industry doesn’t make many clothes with pockets for women because they don’t sell. Women all complain that they don’t get pockets, but then vote with their wallets.
This is a legit example of the intended meaning of the phrase “the customer is always right.” The market supplies what customers demand, and for all the fist shaking about having nowhere to put a phone, there’s very little actual market demand for women’s clothing with pockets. Majority of demand is related to outdoor activities so you see them there.
People use their phones primarily as media consumption devices. That means bigger screens are desirable to the public at large.
We were well on our way to miniaturization until your phone also became a pocket computer
Due to an eye injury my eyesight is deteriorating, I need to have a larger screen to see.
I can’t hit the letters on the keyboard with my thumb and holding the phone one-handed.
I can span an octave on a piano. I do not have small hands.
This is the real reason why I got a foldable phone. It doesn’t help with reaching things one-handed when it’s open, but at least folded it still fits in my front pocket comfortably, and let me sit with it there.
Preach. The other night I caught myself feeling envious of my wife’s dainty little fingers while she was typing away in bed. With normal screens, every time I need to type something that’s not in the swype dictionary I have to use my pinky like a stylus.
If you look at my history and notice that so many of my comments are edited right after being submitted, 9/10 times it’s because I had to fix a typo.
LOL me too! Only I usually edit when I respond to replies, because I often have to read what I wrote and notice the typos then.
I try to make a habit of double checking, since most of my typos are Swype autocorrect to a different real word.
Me too, only more lazy.
May nothing ever fall between your car seat and the center console, my brother 🖐️
And may you never respond “you too” when a waiter says “enjoy your meal”.
I have a phone case that is also a wallet/billfold, so I’m already in the brick zone lol
The last time I bought a phone, I used versus.com’s filters to suggest different models that fit the criteria I needed, including a small form factor. I’ve been pretty happy with the resulting phone!
What did you end up getting, if you don’t mind answering? I’m about to be in the market for a new phone myself.
I can see this happening, some smartphones are almost as big as iPads now
We’re way past phablets?
Man I loved my tiny flip phone I got in Korea in 2000. It was killer. I wish tiny phones made a comeback.
I want a thicker phone because they’re getting too hard to hold with how thin they are, and it compromises battery size, storage capacity, durabulity, and external ports (sd card, analog audio, etc) for that thinness
And that’s why Bricks are going to make a comeback.
My phone is 213g, almost as heavy as the Nokia 2110 which was 236g. The current heaviest non-rugged bar-style smartphone is the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra at 233g.
Bricks were 500-1200g, so we’re getting therewelcome to being older
