Those are probably the Samshits and I too avoided them because they're too damn long (And their user hostility lol), the Pixel 9 Pro Fold is what you want, folded it's almost as big as the 7as screen (6.3 to 6.1 on the 7a)

    First - 6.3 usually means already over the edge of comfortable, 7a is already almost too much. Second - thickness adds to it when it's in your hand. And third - why would I spend huge money (doesn't seem like it would decrease in price with generations as much as a normal phone, it might be EOL when it becomes affordable) on something that breaks more easily and is still bigger?

    I don't personally feel much of a difference in .2 inches of screen, but if 6.1 is your absolute limit, then the Pixel Fold 1 might be your perfect fit with a 5.8 "short and stocky" outer screen

    Though I don't think it's being sold new anymore, but it looks like eBay has some good condition/refurb models going for ~<800-1k, Google has stated all Pixels will get 6 or 7 years of updates.

    Sure, you can buy one to never unfold. But you'd be getting a thick, expensive AF phone for no reason, lol
