@Alistair Parsons pixel users tend to jump to iphone, especialy in USA< as they are much closer togtehr...pixels have a horrible UI....ive just spent the day setting up new iphones and macbooks for some users....it was clunky!

@Jasmine Fox from feedback, its holding it and using it, and fitting in trouser pockets, the only people i know with clamshell phones are women, and they buy it for that reason, but just using a larger phone ( or clamshell unfolded, can be uncomfortable in the hands, especially for people with arthritis....main thing is there is less choice available and clamshells are expensive, im gnerally buying phones for clients that are £200 new....

@jmonteiro829 ive set up 5 iphone 18 this month in one business.... one of themit was for best camera as long as it was iphone....for making Instagram posts, the other 4, vendor lockin, because they have been using it's for years and can't leave.....also macbook integration.....which is a plus point......but none of them was speed or battery.....they needed dumbed down interface, all had mess of app icons everywhere.....and we're amazed at how cool nova launcher, icon packs and live wallpaper looked on my 3 year old phone

And yet there's a market for heavy rugged phones like ulefone etc, the good thing about android is choice.....I'd much rather have a heavy powerfull phone in preference to a slim one. You said undisputed is lightweight and portability but I dispute that...i use my 8 inch tablet far more than my phone...if it could make calls I'd probably stop carrying a phone
