I'm not suggesting anyone modify their new phones (Use your warranties) and if your not comfortable around electronics but if you are and like to tinker here's a fun recycling idea for a dud. Just because.

Crazy but I like people coming up with ideas, shows demand, interest, but I find the ZFLIP7 cover screen can do a message and keyboard usable split

He's bang on that most people are tired with the iterative updates most phones have been bringing for years. (I am, minor camera improvements are drip feed by generation at times instead of being overhauled) I see Chinese brands are able to risk trying new concepts quicker now with less supply chain constraints.

I loved the craziness of early Nokia and Samsung's boldness with the S4 Zoom and K Zoom. The Note made Samsung stand out from the market (Do not kill it's Pen or there will be quite a gap before I can upgrade again. Maybe bring the Note back separate from the Ultra and finesse both, Even though I really want them to simplify the line for R&D and faster code testing...)

The Fold/Flip line has had a shake up which is paying off so it does have an effect. There is only a few options for hardware keyboard fans now. Personally, I like swipe but my mum would love a keyboard back should it be something to re-explore.

I love stuff like this as well though. I'm never more happy than when I'm geeking out creating something.

YouTube clearly watching my viewing yesterday, suggested this little phone today. Like a half Flip with a pop up camera. It is different though. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kN6ZKs4oDXw
