    Ohhh based on the screen measurements the phone will actually be compact, like on the short axis as well unlike most of these squat phones. It will probably be 105x75mm when folded, for comparison my s25 which is compact enough to be properly usable is 147x70mm. And unfolded it will still give a good workable size which will be especially good for videos or similar.

      Motorola’s wide foldable will measure 110 x 149 x 5.8mm when unfolded, and 110 x 76 x 12.6mm when folded. The phone will weigh 215 grams.

            A bunch of companies argued that small phones were just too hard to make so they wouldnt do it. I also calculated back then that the flip series from samsung also had an internal volume(not even accounting for the extra hardware associated with folding) that was small enough for a 6 inch phone. Probably a purpose designed small phone today could have flagship internals while being about 5 inches.
