I agree that modern smartphones are too big, but that’s what the vast majority of the options are nowadays. I don’t know if you can call it a “gimmick” anymore if literally all of them are like that. It’s getting harder and harder to find a reasonably sized phone. But believe me, if I didn’t have a folding phone, I’d be looking out for small phones like the Zen phone.
Giant screens are a gimmick too. A practical phone would be a 4"-5" phone with a rough screen and a long lasting battery.
These giant phones and folding phones are boutique items.
