Notice how we’ve gone from laughing at mobile phones that were like bricks in the 80-90s, full circle, to phones that are now flat bricks!
Phones were discreet & portable. Now they don’t need a cover, they need a rucksack! Totally useless for pockets, or summer gear. You need to carry its own container, like a laptop.
History back round. |

You're right, phones are as big as a cow  On the other hand, my phone replaces my laptop in the field, I really only carry a laptop with me exceptionally. So the size doesn't bother me so much. But in general everyone complains about it, especially girls. That the phones are too big |

My point exactly!
I want my Nokia 5110 or my Nokia 8310 back!
Best phones ever made, to date.

that is exactly the reason why I was deciding between the iPhone mini 13 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 on my last purchase. I need something that fits my pocket well, as I only use my phone to receive calls for A) food delivery B) parcel deliveries when I'm at home, and +messaging and navigation when I'm AFK. I ultimately decided to stay in the Android ecosystem, and I quickly got used to the Z4 and really like it. It is really an unusual feeling to slide such a compact thing into your pocket

| The other side is they are a huge target for thieves now! Sticking out back pockets or easily seen in bags or if you bring it out and stand in the street using it -great snatch target!! |

This is a very good phone - especially when you look at the price!
Xiaomi is a nice company, I have from them Mi Band 6 NFC, Xiaomi Mi Body Composition Scale 2, Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop 2 Pro - and I'm satisfied with it all.
Samsung has better phones, but unfortunately also a lot more expensive  But for me is very important security (Samsung Knox) and then also the pen - I'm used to it. Samsung of course takes very good photos and I, because I can't take photos at all, have to have a phone that takes photos for me LOL. |

Of course it is, and I hate it!

Yes, it is. That was sort of the point: if I have to carry a brick anyhow, it should at least provide value for the money. It was the result of a careful research/selection process.
I have it paired with my Mi Band 5 - same as last time we discussed; I chose not to upgrade yet.
I've been thinking about upgrading to a Redmi Note 12, but it does not seem much of an upgrade... |
