Typewriters were staggered so that the mechanical arms wouldn’t collide. Your finger bends out and back linearly. Personally I prefer split keyboards or ones like the Atreus that have each half angled out, this avoids having to bend your wrists. But either way keyboards with linear columns are more ergonomic than staggered columns.

I guess if you reduce my whole comment to the price point then sure, not sure why you feel the need to be combative. I got mine at the launch sale for $1000, so $300 less than the S24. I agree that the S24 has better specs. Still not sure what the “huge drawbacks” are.

Edit: prices on Amazon are $1,099 vs $1,049 for the flip and s24 respectively so 🤷‍♂️

I have the flip 5. It’s really not that expensive compared to other flagships and haven’t seen any “huge drawbacks”. The cameras definitely aren’t as good as other phones in the same price range but it’s nice that it works as it’s own tripod and is pretty pocketable.
