The form factor is just really great for a pocketable device, and being able to close a GBA SP really feels satisfying to put away. Same with the (larger) DS.

Personally I'd like a fingerprint reader notch on the back of a Z-fold style phone. Not a fan of the "in-screen" style. Tbh i probably should just not use biometrics unlocking to begin with.

Cops in the US can (legally) make you unlock your phone if it's biometrics-locked. Something to think about.

Exactly what I was thinking about.

The Z Fold places it's fingerprint reader on the side power button which isn't quite the same as the back but it's a lot closer than the screen based fingerprint readers.

Jacksfilms even made a joke about the DS Lite when the first Galaxy Z Flip came out. Just thought I'd mention that.
