Just got a fairphone 4. It feels so much more solid than my old pixel 6a. Its battery lasts for almost 2 days. Same performance that I can see. Spare parts for cheapish on the site.

Anyways just wanted to share.

I agree with what you are saying but you are totally getting downvoted for the make small phones great again part.

But my god my little hands need a little phone again. I would like to reach across single hand texting

Batteries must get smaller first. Two days of smart phone usage is a battery bank ma fren. Alternative is to use a lower tech option but hard to find a middle ground.

You need military type pants. I have no issues with phone sizes, I can fit four bottles of beer in my pants leaving the hands free to carry something when going down the stairs.
