With folding phones, you now have a slab half as tall and twice as thick. Not really solving too many problems with that form factor.

    Women's pants generally aren't deep enough. So the length of the phone absolutely makes a difference over the thickness in terms of that.

    Source: My pants. It had been a frustrating saga over the ever increasing size of smartphones when women's pants pockets weren't expanding to match. Stumbled into the Z Flip line and was hooked. It finally did solve the problem for many of us

    That's actually not the case with the newer folding phones. The Z fold 7 is only 10% thicker (8.9mm) when folded than the s25 ultra (8.2mm), for example. The clamshell flips do run a bit wider at 13mm but they've really come a long way and I'm sad to see the market for them dying.
