Comment on I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand
RedditWanderer@lemmy.world 2 days agoTerms have specific uses, let’s not dilute them to make ourselves feel better. Language IS fluid, but when people are obstinate to already preestablished conventions
Ok there why didn’t you bother opening a dictionary or googling it.
noun the ship in a fleet which carries the commanding admiral. the best or most important thing owned or produced by a particular organization.
He’s just saying most phones companies (of all sizes) have big phones. Get over yourself
So the smallest and worst ship would be the flagship, that’s the defence? Lmfao that makes total sense dude.
How does that mean the smallest and most compact? As my original comment stated, that’s like claiming a cigar boat in the flagship, which no navy would doc even if they were making smaller boats. Their largest and fanciest, would STILL be the flagship of the fleet….
I did read a dictionary, which is why I’m speaking up for OP fucking up what a flagship is meant to be.
Each fleet has its flagship lol all companies are flagships.
And no phone manufacturer has ever called their small phones their flagships, so for to OP to say they miss them, is them not actually knowing what the term is.
Can you provide an example of a phone that fits OPs definition as being sold as a “flagship”? Because OPs arguing for something that’s never been done before.
Flagships CAN be small, but it’s never been done in history before, still waiting for an example, I’ve asked twice now. Because OPs barking up the wrong tree. That’s the issue here.
Minimal company’s flagship phone is the minimal phone
Lol who said I wanted “the smallest and most compact”
You’ve lost the plot here, take the L
Does “fit in your hand” not mean small and compact?
I’m not the one using the term flagship to mean a non flagship phone. You’re trying to change established definitions and conventions.
You want a fancy small phone, no phone manufacturer has ever called a phone that fits that description as a “flagship” so to say you miss the. Is just straight up bullshit and you being an idiot and not using established definitions correctly.
Not only is that laughably not true
But even if it was true, it wouldn’t mean anything because being a flagship phone isn’t about size, it’s about showing off your tech.
But like I said, I don’t have to get hypothetical, because phones this big weren’t considered flagships in the past, they were considered “notes” and “tabs”
You aren’t wrong, and I’m not sure why the other person is arguing with you. Seems like that Monty Python sketch about arguing.
He is wrong.
I’m asking for small flagships.
They used to make small flagships.
Flagship doesn’t mean biggest, it means best.
If settle for a small non-flagship phone with a flagship camera pod and display tech. But they don’t make those either.
They used to make small flagships.
When, you keep saying that, but flagships have always been large and fancy. Can you provide an example? Because what it seems from every explanation you’ve made in this thread, you just don’t know what the term flagship means…
Sounds like you just need to learn words properly, the only one wrong here is you using an established term incorrectly and are conflating a small phone as a “flagship” which has NEVER been the case. Please provide an example of a flagship being small and compact, I would love to see how you came to fuck this well established term up so horrendously.

More specifically, it’s typically the vessel the admiral commands from, not just their one he happens to be on.
