Are there any actual small phones on the market, now?
- Dansvidania 8d agoNot branded/high end ones sadly.
- gekoxyz 8d agoIt depends on what your definition of "small" is. If you consider the iPhone 13 mini as small the only thing that comes to mind is the Unihertz Jelly Max.
- nkrisc 8d agoNot that I’ve seen really, but I haven’t looked much outside the mainstream as my 12 mini is still going strong. But seems I’m either in a real minority with regards to phone size preference, or at least the manufacturers believe I am.
- mbigras 8d agoMaybe you’re in the minority; but you’re not alone. I went the hassle of signing in on mobile just to upvote you! Sincerely from a 13 mini user, still grumpy about having to give up my se 1.
- Schnitz 8d agoPeople that want small phones, me included, are unfortunately a vocal minority. The small flagship phones just don’t sell that well. Loved my iPhone 12 mini and rode it until Apple Intelligence was announced and I got suckered in because I love exploring AI.
- thelaxiankey 7d agoMy suspicion is small phone users buy phones less often, and thus are less represented by the market. This may be borne out if a company randomly produces a small phone and it proves popular
- lowkeyokay 7d agoThere are dozens of us. Dozens.
- layer8 7d agoSame here. It’s a market that would sell millions of units per year like the mini did, just not hundreds of millions like the remaining iPhone linup combined.
- littlecranky67 7d agoThe 2022 SE is still supported with latest iOS and works fine for me. No need to cling to a SE1.
- Ravizin 8d agoI think we already have enough technology to make a mobile phone that is thinner and smaller than current ones.
- chocochunks 8d agoThe modern "flip" foldables like the Samsung Flip and Moto Razr let you do a lot on the front cover screen these days. When folded they are pretty comparable to early smartphones, like a wider more square Palm Pre. There's a few small traditional phones from companies like Unihertz but they don't have the same support or power.
- mrheosuper 8d agoquite a few: Qin has some models. Sometime there are some startup on kickstarter that do small phone. Ikko mind one
- mitxela 7d agoUnihertz Jelly series makes being small their whole selling point. They're not just average sized, they're small small. You could wrap your whole hand around it. Often suggested to help combat phone addiction because apparently smaller screens do something for that.
- littlecranky67 7d ago> Often suggested to help combat phone addiction because apparently smaller screens do something for that Which has been my take on why there are no more small phones. Manufacturers noted that bigger phone equals more engagement. I am still on my 2022 iPhone SE for this reason.
