    The other comment rebutted a lot of your points, but I’ll add:

    Typing is easier

    Not if you want to type fast with two hands; the narrower screen means the keys are smaller and squashed together more.

    The glass is 2d curved on the edges so when you swipe back it’s incredibly smooth with no sharp edge.

    This is hardly new. The Chinese have them on phones 1/4th the price of a 5 V.

      1. Not really. The keys are perfectly large still. Plus there’s this new crazy feature in gboard (only about 17 years old now) called Swipe to type. On a narrow phone like this you can actually do it one hand without nearly dropping the phone. You should try it.

      2. I didn’t say curved glass was new. I just mentioned it a really nice feature. Try swipe from the edge of an iPhone with its square screen edge and see if you like it…
