What ? I have a Huawei P30 (6.1in screen) and it’s considered small ? it’s the biggest phone I’ve owned by far
Yet they “don’t have room” for a fucking headphone jack or clips for a removable back/battery.
Well, they’ll soon have room for a removable battery ✨
I don’t know if I even want a damn screen anymore lol.
I got kinda conned into a Pixel 10 Pro XL. It’s huge and it’s heavy, and it doesn’t really feel that much more useful than the S10e it replaced.
What I want it for is basically a media player, quick internet look-upper, and maybe instant messenger. The ability to get “Hey I’m at the front entrance” and reply “Cool I’ll let you in”. My Galaxy S4 Mini did every piece of that.
It’s getting uncomfortably difficult to do without a cell phone. Everything wants to be an app. Like, it’s one thing when a restaurant allows you to order via app because then they can be making your order while you’re on your way to get it. But when they won’t print a menu, they’ll ONLY allow customers to order via an app, like a waiter comes up to your table and tells you you have to scan a QR code. Parking, public transit, starting into goddamn government functions, now require an app. Which is a problem if you VISIT a city rather than live there.
When I was a teenager, I would have been excited to have a powerful, capable computer with a fantastic screen and constant high speed internet access that fit in my pocket. But damn if they didn’t go and ruin it.
Miss proper small phones with 6-inch screens or less?
No, my phone has a screen size of ~4 inches.
6 inches is not small, it’s quite big. Small would be like 4 inches or less. My first smartphone had a 3.2 inch screen.
4 inches is definitely above average…
I’m a folder not a shower!
Manufacturers killed compact phones because the same display panel costs the same whether it is 6.1 or 6.7 inches, so bigger screens unlock higher price tiers. The Xiaomi 17 and vivo X300 proving 7,500mAh batteries fit inside 6.3-inch bodies demolishes every excuse these brands hide behind.
Why do we call them smartphones? They are phablets.
My iPhone 12 mini is the perfect size. I don’t want to carry a damn tablet in my pocket. Maybe if I spent all day staring at it, I would, IDK.
There haven’t been any small phones for about 10 years.
It still folds out to a fairly big device. Unless you’re planning on using it always folded, that’s not it.
I guess I’m running my pixel 5 into the ground then… Tbh I miss my 5 inch pixel 2. That felt ideal to me.
I still have a working pixel 3, two of them actually, and they’re a perfect size phone
