Maybe flip phones are the new small-screen phones: Xiaomi MIX Flip joins the Motorola Razr in the 4 inch cover screen club

Once upon a time phones with large screens were so unusual that people coined the word “phablet” to refer to them as a cross between a smartphone and a tablet. These days large-screen phones are so common that it’s noteworthy when a model with a screen as “small” as 5 inches is launched.

The #British #comingofage #film, which originally premiered on the 2023 #festivalcircuit, is at last headed for the #smallscreen (in the #UK for now). Taking place in 2006, #BonusTrack follows George (#JoeAnders), a sixteen-year-old #slacker #musician who starts a #band with his #crush, Max (#SamuelSmall).

Additional small screen usability woes:

My keyboard also takes half the screen too. I used to use minuum to help, but the lack of swipe typing was a deal breaker because precision typing on a small screen is hard (esp with a hairline crack in the screen protection).

Recently, someone recommended a web browser to me, but their website, which used a floating dynamic scroll (I don't know what it's normally called.) was unreadable because it was clearly untested on small screens.

But I am a smol person, and this is the size of pokecomp that works for me without causing rsi. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I am so tired of floating panels on websites. Usability has regressed to the era of pop-ups with that junk. I have a small phone screen.

I put together a #newsletter called #SmallScreen that sends readers a brief email when an exceptional #game releases on #iOS. I just sent an issue out about OPUS: Echo of Starsong, and a big reason why I fell in love with it was because of how its world looks and feels.

Most of 2019:
stealing valuable display realestate from your website's visitors, worsening their by forcing them to scroll way more than necessary.

Example offender:
blink1.thingm.com/about/

Problem: the top half of a small-screen device (mobile, phone) is blocked off by a header text and bar that refuse to scroll away.

Solution: stop sticking blocks to the .
