Comment on I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand

SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

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.

dude just Google “flagship meaning”

the best or most important thing owned or produced by a particular organization.

Theres a company called The minimal company, their best and most important product is a small “minimal phone”. That’s their flagship phone. It’s not hard to understand

  As I explained previously, you’re cherry picking definitions to support your point.
  
  Multiple other definitions that I provided you contradict that, and saying the same thing doesn’t suddenly make it true.

    ??? Plenty of people are pointing the same thing out
    
    It’s just you swinging this dude, and I’ve provided proof that you’re wrong, you’ve cherry picked a single definition and I provided multiple separate sources. As well had to explain how the minimalists phone still wouldn’t by definition ever be the “flagship” of its small and has no features.

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.
  
  So how does that support your point? Lmfao.

    The flagship isn’t the SMALLEST model, which is what you’re wanting
    
    I didn’t say the flagship should be or was the smallest phone, nor did I say I wanted the smallest phone. that’s something you imagined entirely on your own lol
    
    Phones in general are bigger
    
    It’s almost like what I’m sad that phone sizes got larger because now OEMs make their flagships uncomfortably large. Hey, someone should make a post complaining about that! 😑
    
    What I’m learning here is that you had an argument with yourself, and lost
