Flip phones aren't the small phone replacement I've been looking for

Only three brands released foldables in the US this year , including Google , Samsung , and Motorola .

The Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Moto Razr+ are trying to transform their respective cover displays into, effectively, small Android phones.

I'm concerned these new form factors might be missing out on what made flip phones so exciting to some consumers in the first place.

A capable cover display isn't a real replacement for truly small phones.

Instead, it's a poor replacement for what many people actually want: a device that slides into our pocket without weighing anything down.

I've gone to bat for devices like the Pixel 8a and iPhone 16 , phones that feel relatively small.
