I know I have small hands but c'mon. Flagship phones these days are strait up small tablets, not even what we'd have called on phablets 15 years ago.
I know it's what people buy, but I'm still sad that if I want a phone that small then I have to deal with camera and display a couple gens old
So the smallest and worst ship would be the flagship? That’s the defence? Lmfao because that makes total sense dude…. And how is that supposed to defend what a flagship is?
How does that mean the smallest and most compact? As my original comment stated, that’s like claiming a cigar boat is the flagship, which no navy would do even if they were making smaller boats. Their largest and fanciest, would STILL be the flagship of the fleet….
I “did read a dictionary”, which is maybe why I’m speaking? OP fucked up what a flagship is meant to be. Atleast I’m not the one making up new definitions to defend my asinine defence. How does the definition support your argument? It would STILL mean the best and most resourceful unit. Which wouldn’t be the smallest…..
Other definitions include “largest” why did you include the one that doesn’t…?
Which how is that the smallest and most compact…? That’s literally contradicting the established conventions dude lmfao. But again, bloviate about how you don’t understand language and want to make it what you want I guess…. Flagship has established conventions, and OP is asking for the opposite. Full stop.
Each fleet has its flagship, all companies have flagships. Yes the best phone of each company is their flagship. Flagship phones isn't limited to some arbitrary sized companies.
And no phone manufacturer has ever called their small phones their flagships, so for to OP to say they miss them, is them not actually knowing what the term is.
Can you provide an example of a phone that fits OPs definition as being sold as a “flagship”? Because OPs arguing for something that’s never been done before.
Flagships CAN be small, but it’s never been done in history before, still waiting for an example, I’ve asked twice now. Because OPs barking up the wrong tree. That’s the issue here.
You’re making this argument, while not providing anything to support it, I’ve even asked for a source to prove your point, all you’ve done is provide a definition that i then provided multiple that directly contradict the one you provided.
In the history of the term, it’s never been a cigar boat dude…. It’s always the largest and fanciest, not the smallest and fanciest. Prove it dude. Step up or fuck off.
Minimal company's flagship phone is the minimal phone
Lol who said I wanted "the smallest and most compact"
You've lost the plot here, take the L
Does “fit in your hand” not mean small and compact?
I’m not the one using the term flagship to mean a non flagship phone. You’re trying to change established definitions and conventions.
You want a fancy small phone, no phone manufacturer has ever called a phone that fits that description as a “flagship” so to say you miss the. Is just straight up bullshit and you being an idiot and not using established definitions correctly.
Not only is that laughably not true
But even if it was true, it wouldn't mean anything because being a flagship phone isn't about size, it's about showing off your tech.
But like I said, I don't have to get hypothetical, because phones this big weren't considered flagships in the past, they were considered "notes" and "tabs"
You aren't wrong, and I'm not sure why the other person is arguing with you. Seems like that Monty Python sketch about arguing.
He is wrong.
I'm asking for small flagships.
They used to make small flagships.
Flagship doesn't mean biggest, it means best.
If settle for a small non-flagship phone with a flagship camera pod and display tech. But they don't make those either.
When??? You keep saying that, but flagships have always been large and fancy and never small and fancy. Can you provide an example? Because what it seems from every explanation you’ve made in this thread, you just don’t know what the term flagship means…
Sounds like you just need to learn words properly, the only one wrong here is you using an established term incorrectly and are conflating a small phone as a “flagship” which has NEVER been the case. Please provide an example of a flagship being small and compact, I would love to see how you came to fuck this well established term up so horrendously.
dude just Google "flagship meaning"
Theres a company called The minimal company, their best and most important product is a small "minimal phone". That's their flagship phone. It's not hard to understand
As I explained previously, you’re cherry picking definitions to support your point.
Multiple other definitions that I provided you contradict that, and just repeating and saying the same thing doesn’t suddenly make it true. Even with minimalist phone, it doesn’t have all the bells and whistles, which is another important criteria and you’re choosing to ignore to make your asinine point.
A flagship has never been a cigar boat and that’s exactly what OP has clarified they wanted. So I was correct all along.
Everyone agrees youre just making stuff up at this point.
??? Plenty of people are pointing the same thing out
It’s just you swinging this dude, and I’ve provided proof that you’re wrong, you’ve cherry picked a single definition and I provided multiple separate sources. As well had to explain how the minimalists phone still wouldn’t by definition ever be the “flagship” of its small and has no features.
As you said, just fucking google it. You didn’t just look at one source now did you…? When researching you must look at more than a single source. Thats just being obtuse lmfao. If you “googled” it and did any actual investigating you should have seen that the deification you picked isn’t the standard one.
And again, op has clarified their stance. The minimalist phone isn’t what they want/need so you using it as an example is just asinine and shows you missed the point completely lmfao. Give your head a shake bud.
How about you clarify what you think flagship means.
Because you seem to lose your mind every time someone says something that doesn't mean "biggest"
Let's compare the current day top dog, Galaxy S 25 ultra, against 5 flagships from different brands in 2012, including Samsung's own:
Some of these had bigger phones like the Galaxy note, but these were flagships for their brands. These were the poster boy devices each brand trotted out to show off their capabilities. These were flagships.
And this is just Android phones, I'm not even considering iPhone or windows phones.
So get fucking wrecked. When they made phones as big as modern day flagships 15 years ago, they didn't call them phones, they called them "notes" and "tabs"
Phones in general are bigger, in each of those examples, smaller models also exist. The flagship isn’t the SMALLEST model, which is what you’re wanting since they are just bigger.
So how does that support your point? Lmfao.
You just don’t know what the term flagship is supposed to mean and are conflating it with other stuff.
Thanks for pointing that out so well!
I didn't say the flagship should be or was the smallest phone, nor did I say I wanted the smallest phone. that's something you imagined entirely on your own lol
It's almost like I'm sad that phone sizes got larger because now OEMs make their flagships uncomfortably large. Hey, someone should make a post complaining about that! 😑
What I'm learning here is that you had an argument with yourself, and lost
