Ah, yes, the whole 12g difference!

Both of these are crazy heavy by my standards. The Nexus 5 was a great phone at 130g.

To each their own.

I'm fine with a heavier ones. And looking at the amounts of iPhones sold (including cases, holders and whatever) the weight isn't a factor for the many.

Its actually much easier to hold a folding phone! I often just use it in unfolded mode because it's so easy to hold
