Really wish they would at least make the Fold a reasonable size when closed. It would scratch my smaller phone itch, and offer a larger screen when I actually do want one. Currently it’s “comically oversized” when folded, and literal tablet when open.
Consumers have spoken though. Same as dropping the stylus...
My understanding is that smaller phones get less screen time. Thus if you have some interest in increasing it, better to push bigger ones. But I don’t know if those perverted incentives make it back to the manufacturers. Do they make the most money from sale itself or after from the various ad-/data brokers?
I just went from a Z Fold 5 to a Z Fold 7 and I hate it for this exact reason.
Z Fold 6 and earlier were slim, one handed use phones when folded, small tablet when opened.
Now it's just a regular phone, and a medium tablet when I open it.
First phone I've ever regretted upgrading to.
