I know I have small hands but c'mon. Flagship phones these days are strait up small tablets, not even what we'd have called on phablets 15 years ago.
I know it's what people buy, but I'm still sad that if I want a phone that small then I have to deal with camera and display a couple gens old
I just want a keyboard or a modern take on the Sidekick design.
The Oppo X8 (non-Pro) is probably the smallest flagship with a top level chip and good camera currently made but it is only available in a few markets.
The problem is they took it too far.
Plus, the larger phones do actually fit in my hands, so...
I have the opposite viewpoint. I miss big phones that were actually big, and not just really tall.
I miss my Nexus 6.
That is my exact complaint. The phones are too tall! I am ok with it being wider, but the height is insanity. The whole balance of the phone is awkward and I would be ok with more of the weight on the bottom instead of the middle of a tall ass phone.
The problem is any wider makes it so that it requires two hand to use comfortably for a lot of people. My S22 ultra is just barely comfortable in a case because of the rounded edges, I have tried to see what the S24s felt like and just the flat edges make it so that I can not use it one handed at all.
They used to have a whole variety.
Now top-end phones are all almost the same dimensions
I remember when I was picked on at work for how big my Note 3 was. They used to call it "my insecurity". Now it's basically smaller than the smallest standard size.
The Note 3 did look ridiculously large back then. Kind of insane.
I miss my Droid Mini.
I mean, i still have it. It's just nigh worthless.
4in phones had poop batteries, but 6in is too big.
A big bright screen uses more battery. They could make the phone slightly thicker to accommodate a bigger battery.
Still, a 5in oled phone in dark mode is reasonable. LCD eats power like mad.
I agree. 5 in is The Sweet spot
I wish I could get a flagship phone with a swappable battery, headphone jack, SD slot and allow my apps to interface with each other's files when I want without having to fuck around with permission bullshit.. I don't care if it's the size of a dinner plate
I don't know of any with swappable batteries anymore. The HTC U24 and U23 series both have headphone jack and MicroSD slot. There are a few others.
I started off with iphone 7, then pixel 5, now on pixel 7a. With each phone, it got increased in size. Pixel 5 was a compromise for me. Pixel 7a feels a step too big to be pocketable.
Pixel 5 was the perfect size, imho.
As you add more compute per user interaction ("smart" features), you increase power consumption. To keep an 18hour discharge cycle, you have to have more battery. Since phone thickness is a negative marketing feature but increased screen size is a positive marketing feature, you end up with bigger phones.
Every time they reduce compute power consumption, feature inflation overtakes the gain and more power is needed over time. Try turning on battery saver in the morning... even with "normal" use the battery will last significantly longer due to disabling background power consumption.
People simply did not buy the small phones.
I bought them until they stopped making them... My favorite phone was the Sony Xperia X Compact with a 4.6" screen. It had decent midrange specs and a great camera.
and your pockets! in both the literal and figurative sense.
I have large hands and I don't like having to make the compromise of features or size. I prefer phones around 5in or a smidge under. But to have a modern camera I have an almost 7in phone. It's really frustrating.
