Why choose a flip phone and not a foldable phone? (feddit.de)

I get it why foldable phones are a thing, it's like having a normal size phone and a small tablet in one and it's easier to work on fodable devices than regular phones. But why are flip phones a thing?

They're different sorts of foldables. Hence Samsung calling one of theirs "Fold" and the other "Flip" (because the latter is the same form factor as older clamshell designs).
