I don't see why it's so difficult. if it's in a side pocket, just lean 
to the other side. if it's in a shirt pocket, it shouldn't be a problem. 
and since you're sitting down it wouldn't be in a back pocket

also leaning back and pushing your torso forward opens up the side 
pockets. so that's another option.

We aren't taling about shirt pockets

it's to be expected with larger than normal phones that they would be

Just impressed with the camera specs

Do you really need something that big when not at
home, with the real risk of failure when it matters ?

Or even one that is guaranteed to still work unfolded
in the situation where the fold mechanism has failed ?

I also use a phone a lot at home, and tablet view is great for reading 
websites or doing stuff. I hate trying to do things on a small mobile 
screen.

I use an iPad for tablet view. I keep my phone *small* so it fits 
conveniently in my pocket.>>

Tablet or computer at home, phone when on the move and I can't bring the 
tablet along.>

but then if you want tablet view you'll have to take your tablet with 
you as well as your phone. this phone give both options in the one 
device, that still fits conveniently in a pocket

I recently bought an iPhone 16e because I didn't want a large fat phone. 
If I need something larger, I'll take the tablet along, it's no big 
deal. My tablet is cellular so it has it's own internet connection.>
