NO, NO, NO, please don't do this. It it too narrow and too long to put it comfortably in your pocket. It would be a terrible phone to use it anyway. Just make an Essential like phone(one which is not that hard to repair in the first place), without thick bezels+ add good specs and sell it in Europe too not just in USA.

Too much money in your pockets Andy?
Wasting time, energy and resources to build a useless device, beats me. Try to put this device on any pocket. Not to mention reading would be a nightmare or about 100% of the apps will be cropped to less than half the tiny screen.
Lets hope the trend of useless devices doesn't catch up. First Xiaomi with Alfa, now this one. Fordable phones are another retard move. We already have small phones, large phones, and tablets. We don't need a phone that still is heavy as a tablet and is still not pocket friendly and worst, devices are getting fragile, should be the opposite. I'm not saying companies should not innovate, I'm saying they are betting on the wrong horses.

This only confirms that Andy Rubin is a clueless man that simply got lucky with Android.

I have no interest in such form factor, but it's indeed about time we have a wide variety of form factors and sizes to choose from.

Hmmm, I also wonder if this will have a T9 keyboard as default, seeing as qwerty will be pretty much useless in both vertical and horizontal mode.

Consumer: "can you make phone dumber than Essential Phone"
Essential: "Sure, how about this?"

Smartphones don't to be tall and thin nor to be folded nor to be 360 screen! Smartphones need to have bigger battery capacities, better power consumption, faster charging, higher screen resolutions, better cameras, better sound qualities, to have earphone jacks, IR blasters, S pens, projectors!
These good for nothing companies should stop wasting our time on useless designs and start creating useful devices!

Does it come with a separate keyboard? I wouldn't take it even if I was given it for free, it makes no sense and it's almost useless.
