I’ve always been enamored with flip phones because they’re the closest thing we have to a Star Trek communicator, but the current gen of foldable screens are a nightmare.

My very last flip phone was the Star Trek. I still miss how satisfying it was to hang up by flipping it closed.

Oh neat! Yeah I agree.

When my Pixel 4a was on its way out, I was seriously tempted to get a Galaxy Flip4 because there’s someone who made a case turning it into a tricorder.
