The worst thing to happen was the boring black rectangle format winning and all other designs disappearing. You don’t have to buy a foldable if you don’t want to. It’s next to impossible to buy anything that’s doesn’t look like every other phone on the market.
I’m familiar with both. I think it’s possible to run LineageOS on some unihertz but the support is not solid enough for me to risk it. Clicks is fairly new, I think they open source some stuff but it’s not supported by anything deGoogled yet.

You can buy a modern reasonably powerful flipphone that runs android, there just aren’t enough people interested in something that isn’t the brick because the brick is, for most people, the optimal form factor for a phone.
The worst thing to happen was the huge 6’ screen. I just want a small phone with doesn’t rip my jean’s pockets and easy to handle with one hand.
Your 6’ phone would look enormous next to an 18" replica of stonehenge
Aren’t there plenty of those? They’re just not flagship models.
I invite you to actually check, there’s actually nothing modern below 6 inches, except those gimmicky 3" screen phones you can find on temu and such
Sadly no. unless it’s some nameless knockoff brand.
I miss full slide-out qwerty keyboards.
I loves those. No waterproofing though. That’s how my last one got deatroyed
That was the peak of pre-iPhone cell phone tech imo
Same 😢 I’ve been looking around for one for years but there’s nothing that can run deGoogled android.
No slide out, but unihertz and clicks are both making a BlackBerry style form factor with android and physical keyboard :)
(Clicks one is called the clicks communicator. Figured I’d mention since that might be helpful to know if anyone wanted to look it up)
