Smartphone manufacturers still want to make foldables a thing::Foldables are barely 1% of the market, but that's not stopping anyone but Apple.

I wish they would put a proper keyboard on a phone again. There's dozens of people like me who misses those things, why is nobody doing it?

Why for. ? Maybe what would be better is a VR keyboard. If it can give haptic feedback then do you really need a physical board

The issue is I can touch type / hunt and peck with a physical keyboard, and I never accidentally type something by brushing my finger on the key as I pass. It's just much faster.

Get a Bluetooth keyboard they're great, little fold out one size of your phone or a tiny or one that straps to your arm... So many different types, I even saw one built into a phone case

I'm not aware of ones that will let me hold the phone by them - but I tend to not have major brand phones which I'm sure exacerbates this. I had a Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite for 4ish years, I just got a more mainstream OnePlus N30, so maybe I can look for a different case that has a keyboard in it, though I still doubt I could hold by it and double thumb type.
