I know I have small hands but c’mon. Flagship phones these days are strait up small tablets, not even what we’d have called on phablets 15 years ago.

I know it’s what people buy, but I’m still sad that if I want a phone that small then I have to deal with camera and display a couple gens old

    Let’s compare the current day top dog, Galaxy S 25 ultra, against 5 flagships from different brands in 2012, including Samsung’s own:



    Some of these had bigger phones like the Galaxy note, but these were flagships for their brands. These were the poster boy devices each brand trotted out to show off their capabilities. These were flagships.

    And this is just Android phones, I’m not even considering iPhone or windows phones.

    So get fucking wrecked. When they made phones as big as modern day flagships 15 years ago, they didn’t call them phones, they called them “notes” and “tabs”

      Phones in general are bigger, in each of those examples, smaller models also exist. The flagship isn’t the SMALLEST model, which is what you’re wanting since they are just bigger.

      So how does that support your point? Lmfao.

      You just don’t know what the term flagship is supposed to mean and are conflating it with other stuff.

      Thanks for pointing that out so well!
