You misunderstood. It’s not practical for YOU. It’s practical for Samsung who constantly needs a new gimmick to continue to hike the price of flagship devices higher.
? Just because it’s not practical for everyone doesn’t mean it’s “just a gimmick”.
Modern smartphones are freaking gigantic. Women’s pants pockets are comically tiny. Modern smartphones physically would not fit in the majority of my pants. I bought a Z Flip so I could fit a modern phone in my pants and not be forced to carry around a purse.
The length is important for women’s pants pockets, not necessarily the thickness. It is practical for me. No, it’s not practical for everyone.
I agree that modern smartphones are too big, but that’s what the vast majority of the options are nowadays. I don’t know if you can call it a “gimmick” anymore if literally all of them are like that. It’s getting harder and harder to find a reasonably sized phone. But believe me, if I didn’t have a folding phone, I’d be looking out for small phones like the Zen phone.

Giant screens are a gimmick too. A practical phone would be a 4"-5" phone with a rough screen and a long lasting battery.
These giant phones and folding phones are boutique items.
