I got a razr because the zenphone got huge. What I didn’t expect to love are the big bezels on the internal screen (to allow it to close) they stop the fleshy bottom of my thumb from touching the screen, an issue I’ve had with previous phones.

It truly is bizarre to me how smartphone aesthetics have somehow outweighed practical usage and ergonomic comfort.
It’s kind of like the main “screen rectangle” smartphone evolutionary tree has largely gone down the road of the “Red Delicious” apple, which is bitter, mealy, mushy, has a leathery skin and is a terrible snack overall, but keeps being bred and bought in large numbers simply because it’s the iconic “pretty” red apple.

You’re allowed to like gimmicks!
What makes them a gimmick IMO is that they’re sold as “this will change your life and the way you work”, but really it’s just that a subset of the audience for the gimmickless product thinks they’re kinda neat.
