I miss small phones. I know I’m not alone; even though the latest and greatest handsets from the world’s top tech companies keep growing larger and larger, you don’t need to look far for people lamenting the disappearance of sub-6-inch handsets.

So it’s confusing, therefore, to be thinking of this as I write about the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8. It’s a foldable phone designed to expand on demand into a miniature tablet. Except when you look at it from the right angle, it’s a fully functioning small phone that happens to fold into a tablet-sized screen.

Is the foldable functionality cool? Certainly. But if you ask me, the Z Fold 8 would be better off without it.
