A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

I'd love to get a physical keyboard again. I'd happily give up some screen size for it too. Phones have gotten much too big.

A smaller screen would limit the phone, though. Would probably become a phone calls and texting only device since most apps wouldn't know what to do with the small screen and weird aspect ratio.

Ooh, would be an interesting concept to have a folding phone with a physical keyboard+smaller screen for the outer display, as opposed to making the outer screen a normally-sized phone screen

Sure, that wouldn't be a bad thing to try. Probably a lot of interesting ways to go about it. Good luck getting a company to try something cool, though.
