Yes! Phones with small screens are not useful. Phones which don't fit in pockets are not useful. Flip phones solve the problem and I've been wanting one for twenty years.

I can easily fit my 6.43 inches phone on my pockets, but that might not be true with women clothes.

Unless you want to have a tablet size screen in your pocket. Then I can see why foldable screens would be appealing
