And still in every phone topic people complain about phones being too big... I'd love to have a smaller affordable smartphone.
- beeforpork 7mo agoSame here. And I have a friend who keeps his small IPhone because they stopped building smaller phones, too. There is a demand, maybe not that big. For me, I want to be able to operate the phone with one hand, and the large screen makes it difficult to reach all the spots on the screen even with large hands. I do operate my Fairphone 5 with one hand, but it is super awkward and at some point, the phone will fall into a gully because I cannot hold it tight while navigating. And I wouldn't mind 2mm more thickness if this means the cameras are flush with the back and the battery is larger.

Whenever I see this when talking about small phones, I'm reminded of the stats, where the iPhone minis were a small proportion of iPhone sales but still by themselves outsold most manufacturers. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39104057 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39104057
- paol 7mo agoI was in the same boat and literally this week bought a Pixel 8. It's a 2 year old phone but with the extended support period that's no longer a problem, and being old means you can get it new for about €300 or refurbished for even less. The other option is the Samsung S2x line, which you can apply the same strategy to.
