Are there any small linux phones? (piefed.social)

My main issue with modern phones (aside from the lack of privacy obviously) is how big they are. I have an iPhone mini and I wish it was smaller. Are there any Linux (or privacy focused) phones that are small?

The Galaxy S10e maybe? It does not have particularily good Linux support though (https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S10e_(samsung-beyond0lte)) and thus is not daily-drivable, but at least is something? Its sister model, the S10 has a bit more contents on its wiki page. Apart from Linux, they are both fantasic devices for Lineageos (typing this on one), however due to the old kernel it might not get Android 17 anymore.

But yeah, have not heard of any usable small Linux phones, would love to see one though.

Understandable. Well, below that I only heard of people getting a Lineageos GSI image running on the jelly star max. Not Linux, but still some more privacy i guess
