I get it why foldable phones are a thing, it’s like having a normal size phone and a small tablet in one and it’s easier to work on fodable devices than regular phones. But why are flip phones a thing?

    • Makes it smaller so it fits in pockets easily
    • Screen is protected while it’s closed
    • Can use it as a simple tripod by half-opening it
    • Flipping a phone open is fun

      Thanks, but I think all the points you’ve mentioned apply to the bigger foldables too (except for the smaller size).

        Most people just need a phone, not a tablet. And also flipping a phone open is very fun
