I don't personally feel much of a difference in .2 inches of screen, but if 6.1 is your absolute limit, then the Pixel Fold 1 might be your perfect fit with a 5.8 "short and stocky" outer screen

Though I don't think it's being sold new anymore, but it looks like eBay has some good condition/refurb models going for ~<800-1k, Google has stated all Pixels will get 6 or 7 years of updates.

Sure, you can buy one to never unfold. But you'd be getting a thick, expensive AF phone for no reason, lol

? I don't understand your comment, was it meant for a reply for a different comment?

About a foldable phone being a "perfect fit" if only the outer screen is, in addition to being far more expensive than a normal phone.
