This is actually why I adore my Motorola razr. First phone I’ve had in I don’t know how many years that fits easily into the front pocket of my jeans and is relatively unnoticeable. Love the folding form factor.

I like the idea of a foldable phone but what I really want is a phone that folds enough to fit in my women’s pants pockets.

Some of next years linux phones look quite compelling. Lora radios and powerful enough to pull off what canonical and Microsoft failed to do years ago.
If they succeed, it will be absolutely devastating to an industry that absolutely deserves to be slapped around. One device that transforms to full multiple demands beaded on what you plug it into. It’s the continuum concept without Microsoft tripping over its own dick.

Can you link to some of the Linux phones you are talking about. My next phone will be a linux phone and it’s 9+ months out.

I don’t remember. There were 2 I recently saw, one with interchangeable gable bottom face plates and the other…I don’t remember. I don’t save them anymore since half of these damn things never materialize but there’s so much effort in that space now and literally the entire world fucking hates the techbros now so it’s going to happen.

Personally speaking, requirements for a phone now include a high resolution camera, NFC payments, some sort of screen mirroring for cars.
I had to revert from gOS because two of those were not working.

NFC payments are nice, but honestly I could use a case with a credit card shoved in it to get the same effect. A good camera is important, but the “screen mirroring” of Android Auto and Apple Car Play are hard to go without.
Especially since most modern cars don’t allow you to replace the stereo. I’ve got a double-din, I could mount a tablet or raspberry pi, setup some sort of a system to automatically turn on hotspot on bluetooth connect, sync my podcasts between phone and car, and I’d have something about 80% of the way there and about 90% more janky.

Or perhaps just get a pair of pants that doesn’t suck? Designing a phone around womens complete lack of self awareness seems not so good, it’s way to volatile.

I can see you don’t spent much time with women.
Women aren’t choosing pants with shitty pockets intentionally.
Cloudstash@lemmy.world 5 hours ago
That’s the result of women choosing it over and over again…If women got to their senses and actually started NOT buying that junk, what do you think all the big mega corps producing tons and tons of clothes will do? Continue producing same shit clothes or adapting the factory to new, more reasonable clothes?

So we should just not wear pants until however long it takes to happen?

Wait your pants have pockets and they’re not vestigial
W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 5 hours ago
Most of them are. I can really only carry things in back pockets, but then it makes sitting awkward.
Typhoon@lemmy.ca 9 hours ago
The other solution is to make women’s pants with pockets that can actually hold things.

inconceivable!

They do, they’re just not skin tight. You can’t really fit much into a pocket in super tight jeans.

You’ve obviously never shopped for women’s clothes. Even sport shorts don’t have pockets, it’s absolutely ridiculous
Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 hour ago
I’ve literally seen pants that have what looks like pockets but when you actually check there no actual pockets there. It’s like they cut the hole, made the folds, then stitched them closed.
It blows my mind!

Yes and no… Women do complain about a lack of pockets, while simultaneously buying pants that physically don’t have room for pockets.
But on the other side of the same coin, women’s heavy duty cargo pants have smaller interior pockets too. Like the exterior pouch pockets may be the same/equivalent size, but the main front and back pockets are often still tiny. There’s no real way to rationalize that or blame women for it, because that’s the entire point of the pants, and there is 100% enough room for larger pockets in those baggier pants.
And no, they often can’t just buy men’s pants, because the cut is very different. Guys tend to have narrower hips and wider waists. Women wearing men’s pants will tend to have the waistband fit (but can’t get their hips into them) or be able to get their hips into the pants (but then need to cinch down the waist by a ridiculous and uncomfortable amount). Women’s pants tend to have more hip room and narrow waistbands, to account for that.

Even jeans that aren’t skin tight don’t have full pockets.
