    As a small phone enthusiast, for my current phone I just got a Galaxy Fold 5. I know it sounds counterintuitive. But when the cover mode, the phone has the same width as my old Xperia Z3 Compact. The unfolded mode is a bonus where the two hand usage is justified with the much larger screen. You just need to deal with the thicker phone because of its foldable nature.

      I went with a Pixel Fold for the same reason. It’s squattier, so I can use it one handed, and the big screen can be nice on occasion. Really, thickness is the only issue I have with it.

        Same, thickness actually doesn’t seem so bad imo either. Kinda nice having the two batteries too.

      I’m not paying that ridiculous amount of money just to get a small phine that fits in my parents pocket. Foldable phones at the moment is just a fad that they push to keep enthusiats engaged and prices high. Same like to hyperfocus on 4k Raytracing in gaming.
