The Brick design is a type of electronics form factor, that refers to a device as being typically bulky.
The term is most often used to refer to brick phones.[1][2][3]
Brick phone designs have largely become unpopular and seen as outdated, since newer technologies have allowed for decreased battery size, and therefore, a slimmer and more portable phone.
Since most brick phones were created at a time when only the Bar phones existed, brick phones are often seen as being almost exclusively a type of Bar phone, but Flip phones, Slide phones, and Swivel phones, can all be brick phones too.
