Sensible people want small, sturdy phones they can put in their back pockets *without a case* and that have enough internal padding to survive a 2m drop onto concrete.
Manufacturers won't make them any more because they want you to have to replace your broken thin, flimsy phablet as often as possible.
Don't be a sheep, don't by thin phablets, force the manufacturers to make small, sturdy phones that can survive daily life, without a case.
This... except being dumb enough to put it in your back pocket. It's stupidly easy to pickpocket anything from there and the pickpockets know it. It's like a huge neon sign that says "Please Rob Me".
I want a reasonably priced phone that has a tough screen (gorilla glass) no bigger than 6.5" and a headphone jack. Doesn't need to be particularly powerful, good battery life is a bonus but not essential, but these days you can't even find an expensive phone like that. Instead we're being pushed into expensive, ultra thin, oversized, fragile phones that need a huge case to make them remotely survivable in real world usage, negating the thinness. No wonder sales are struggling.
