Proposition of addition of new Samsung flip phone into the smartphone section
The new samsung galaxy zflip phones are an excellent innovation and should be added to the Smartphones sections. Deadeyebro27 (talk) 01:06, 13 July 2023 (UTC)


 * We need a reliable publication to say a particular phone is an "excellent innovation" before we could consider adding it. Even then, we'd need a good reason to do so over and above other innovative handsets. — Trey Maturin™ 16:47, 14 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Specific types or brands of smart phones should not be added in this article. This is a general article about telephones, and the smart phone section should also remain generic, unless there is an overwhelming reason to cite one particular device. Flip phones especially are nothing particularly new. kbrose (talk) 17:09, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

Lead image
I saw your edit summary, "The lead image should be representative and not primarily decorative per the MoS." The portion of the MoS that I believe is relevant says,

"Lead images should be natural and appropriate representations of the topic; they should not only illustrate the topic specifically, but also be the type of image used for similar purposes in high-quality reference works, and therefore what our readers will expect to see. Lead images are not required, and not having a lead image may be the best solution if there is no easy representation of the topic."

Since a typical phone today is a smartphone, not an AT&T push-button landline, isn't a picture of a smartphone a more "natural and appropriate representation... of the topic"? Luke10.27 (talk) 03:46, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
