alt Hacker Newsseems the big phone makers are going with the phone-2-tablet fold.
very few have gone with the ultra portable and pragmatic fold like razr-ultra.
hopefully apple comes out with a razr-ultra like fold.

Phone manufactures have settled on the term "flip" for phones that start as a long rectangle and fold in half vertically to roughly a square.
The most popular flip phone is Samsung Galaxy Flip but other brands like Motorola and Oppo make these kinds of phones.
I didn't end up getting one but a friend with the galaxy flip 7 tells me he likes using the square screen when the phone is folded to help reduce his screen time.

It’ll probably be 2 iPhone Airs attached with a hinge, no?
I've been pleasantly surprised at how robust my 2024 Razr (regular edition) has been. I think if the outside screen was a hair bigger (like on the Plus and Ultra), it would be significantly more useful.
I tried the Clicks keyboard case, and it was cute, but wasn't actually better to type on, especially while the phone was open. It was fun pretending to have a Blackberry / Razr hybrid (2007 called!).
I think it would be neat to have a small square phone like the size and shape of the folded Razr but that doesn't actually unfold, and has the camera on the back. It would be a pretty handy device and encourage me to read more paper books or on a Kindle or something instead of scrolling.
