  I don’t know any misheard lyrics, because I refuse to believe the way I hear the lyrics isn’t correct.

  (Actually I used to have a list, but I’m old and I forgot it 😢)

  I think that you have plenty of top-of-the-line phablets to choose from

  … … I mean… If you did that, I think that’s just confirm their beliefs about the nature of Capitalism, no?

  Fuck now I gotta make one that says “we’ve been trying to reach you about your extended warranty”

  We’re hitting levels of delusion that shouldn’t even be possible

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  How about you clarify what you think flagship means.
  Because you seem to lose your mind every time someone says something that doesn’t mean “biggest”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol you made up an argument, pretended I said it, and got mad when I corrected you.

  You can bring a mule to the comment section, but you can’t make him read the thread.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t realize you had access to all the same features and cameras while closed.

  Can I get that, but without unfolding? I didn’t need it to unfold, I just want it to be small

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Close, it’s a pixel 7 pro. Practical identical from appearance.

  The 9 pro looks to be the same size as the 7a, which is still a bit bigger than I want but way more reasonable than I was expecting

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They used to have a whole variety.

  Now top-end phones are all almost the same dimensions

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh the p9, p9p, and p9a is the same size as the p7a. Nice! Still a bit large but still a great improvement on the p7p

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol everyone disagrees with you about what the conventional meaning is. It sounds a lot like you’re the one who is ignoring definitions to bitch and moan 👋

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  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”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think my issue is that there has been an Overton-like window shift wrt what is considered normal sized and what is considered large.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s pretty clearly not the grievance I was complaining about, I’m pretty sure you’re intentionally missing the point so that you can be contrary

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  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”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I know, I said as much in my post - although rereading it, it’s kinda phrased ambiguously

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The phone you see on that left is a pixel 7 pro.
  Is the pixel 9 pro much smaller than that? Because I wouldn’t call the pixel 7 pro “small”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The phone on the left is a pixel 7 pro.

  So, yes, by modern standards.
  But no, as you can see by the comparison to the phone next to it.
  And that’s kind of the point I’m making.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol who said I wanted “the smallest and most compact”

  You’ve lost the plot here, take the L

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Best doesn’t have to mean biggest.

  I want all the fanciest best shit, and I want it to actually fit in my hand

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Because, like I said in the post, flagship phones have the best cameras, and I take a lot of pictures

  Image sensor and optics quality drop off pretty quickly once you leave flagship territory.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s true. Idk why people are down voting you

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I know they exist, but I specifically mentioned flagship phones because they have the best cameras and screens, and I take a lot of pictures

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Even that’s too big.

  That’s a pixel 7 pro on the left, which is only a little bigger than the 7a. I want something way smaller

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It is lol

  Know what’s even crazier? I’ve installed a launcher on my pixel 7 pro to give me a Windows phone homescreen.

  Fuck Microsoft, but those phones were banging. If only anyone made apps for them

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like that doesn’t actually solve the problem
