With the outside screen small, when you take a little breather from doom scrolling and close the phone when you put it down, that click and closed phone makes it a little easier to resist instantly picking it back up right away.
The earlier flips were even better in this respect because the outer screen was so small it basically only functioned as a clock and notification panel. It’s kind of a shame that style hasn’t been retained by at least one manufacturer.
that screen looks sick untill it breaks.
It’s no different to any other screen in that respect. Just stop dropping your phone, or if you really can’t do that use a case and a screen protector.
If you use the volume buttons to take a camera photo, when taking a selfie with the phone closed, the smaller length and bigger thickness makes it easier to hold the phone oriented so the buttons are much more convenient for your fingers to press.
