I never really saw speed tests of this phone. But the few I can recall I saw, didn't put it really in front of the competitors, especially when because it had a very very sh*tty GPU at its time.

It's... Apple in a nutshell. Zero innovation, all lies.

Not to mention it's way off from price league that i was talking about, where the market for gargantuan phones at such price range is even more oversaturated than the flagship teritory.

The whole idea with the Flip3 is exactly that. Be bigger than your average phone when you need it and smaller than any phone when you don't need it. No synthetic benchmarks needed to sell the idea, just common sense.

It is small when it's folded and unused, but it is 6.7" when it's in use. Still too big to be a compact phone. I'm using a Redmi Note 9 right now, but even an iPhone SE would be still too big for my liking. A Mini would be perfect. And if there's an option for a compact low-mid end android with nice specs at such size, i would like to want one.
Reason why small phones are dying is because no OEMs are interested enough to make one, not to mention it's hard to market such when everyone likes to advertise anything that's big of their products. We are enforced by the limited choices.

Anyways, your opinion hardly even matters because Apple is soon going to launch the SE and it will sell as good as the ones before so you will be proven to be wrong

AnonD-1016694, 29 Nov 2021I don't know Toshiba make smartphone.Toshiba, NEC, Sharp etc....just that the international market not kind enough to handle them nor were they given much share in the GSM world.
Mostly if not wrong were in the Japanese market and only in the WCDMA range.

And when Apple released the iPhone SE it was a runaway success with the same screen size even in 2016 when big screens had already taken over everywhere

Wow. You really are one ignorant fellow here. So all those companies making compact phones are doing it for absolutely no reason ? Of course because it sells. And btw, who are you to decide what's useful and what's not ? It's about every person's preferences. Some prefer biggest screens and some more of a medium variety. FYI Apple still makes se model so the get facts right first
