For me it's definitely the durability concerns. I've valued my phone's water and dust resistance since getting an ip67 phone years and years ago. My brother had a flip and a grain of sand in his pocket got under the display; when he closed the phone the display died. And they expect me to pay more for the privilege.

It's way too expensive for what I want.
I actually just want a very small but very functional smartphone since I currently don't have a phone at all.
I just use my Tab S7+5G as a phone, been doing that since the S6. I've just recently ran into some issues where I might need a smaller device, e.g. to use some store app QR codes or similar stuff where you'd have to present your phone. Well... I can actually do that just fine, but pulling out a 12inch tablet makes you look like a dork.
To be honest, I'd wish someone made a non-folding phone with a the height of a folded folding phone lmao

I used it while traveling for a while and it worked great if you're ok with how small it is. Very tiny, like forget its there tiny. I'd still probably use it from time to time if I hadn't smashed it on account of it be so tiny. I was also doing hard manual labor whole traveling so that didn't help with the smashing.
