Agree, even though I very much prefer big phones (wouldn't mind 7 inch screens) I still hate the artifical kneecapping of smaller devices. Its all just a trick to sucker people into spending more money.
I agree. That's one of the reasons I have a Sony Xperia 10. It's has a 6" screen and is narrower than other phones making it very easy to hold and pocket.
Sadly the OEM's will tell you that when given the choice, customers always go for the bigger screen because they think they are getting more. Which is why we have this situation.
Asus have the ZenFone which is smaller but even they are making a bigger 6.7" version next.
I hope at least they will release 2 phones
I hope so but I suspect it will only be the bigger one. I think they took a chance on the 6" but it didn't sell as well as hoped so I think they are changing strategy.
My reasoning is that the ZenFone 10 did not upgrade much compared to ZenFone 9 which means they didn't sell enough to justify spending a lot on the 10. If it sold well they would have added more features.
Maybe it didn't sell well because they only give 2 years of upgrades. It's way too few for a phone that expensive
I think I have normal hands for a 6ft male but I'm really enjoying the z flip 5. Small enough to fit in shirt pockets comfortably
I just wish it was a bit wider, like 21:9
I 100% agree with you. I bought a folding phone just so that I could have a modern phone that fits in my damn pants. Comparing the size of any modern phone to the size of smartphone I had 10ish years ago (Xperia U...with a whopping 3.5 inch display) is absolutely wild. Being able to text with one hand again would be amazing.
Your best bets would probably be a zenfone or a 7a right now, but I agree as a small-handed person there is a serious lack of full-feature experiences in a small form factor.
Zenfone gets only 2 years of updates and 7a doesn't officially come to my country :(
