Couldn't agree more. I have a fold 3, and it's a great phone, but you can't easily use it as a digital notepad (you know, one of the things it was designed to be) because of the camera bump. The first surface duo got it right but reviewers crucified it because of the camera (and then microsoft shat the bed over keeping development and updates going)

@Pfalkingham @Klystron you could use a case that elevates the fold's thickness to match the camera bump.

Very true, but like the other guy I have a foldable. They're pretty big phones already so I don't use a case with mine since it'd make it even bigger and unwieldy.

Yeah, but the trouble is that adds thickness in every dimension (as a case needs to wrap round) and weight, which I'd rather not have on a phone already pushing limits of comfort. I have the flip case but never use it because of the above (and because the flipping flap is massively annoying)
