A small phone with flagship features are not happening.
To get a smaller phone, you have to give up screen quality, camera quality, fingerprint scanners and other flagship features.
I just want a small flip phone that acts as a smartwatch paired to my main phone. Nobody makes that either.
I'm sorry but this sounds even more fucking stupid than smartwatches*
Yeah, it's a specific use case thing that wouldn't make sense for most people.
I could see it being good for construction or something, keep your main phone in a bag or whatever while you have a paired flip phone on ya. If it gets destroyed due to whatever reason itd be easier to replace.
Yes, that is the kind of use case I'm talking about. Rather than beefing up a thousand dollar phone with a case and a holster, I'd rather keep the good phone somewhere safe while I take a far cheaper handset in my pocket.
Right now, the way I could have that is to have 2 lines with different phone numbers and different phone plans, so the monthly cost doesn't work out.
