Is there any good small Android phone? (self.android)

I like the feeling of holding and using a phone in one hand. I am using a Pixel 5 right now, but it feels a bit too large for me. I know nobody makes phone that small like the iPhone 4S or the Samsung S3 mini anymore, but is there at least a phone smaller than the Pixel 5? Maybe around the size of a iPhone 12/13 mini?

EDIT: There is a small Android phone project in development for anyone interested: https://smallandroidphone.com/

The Zenfone 9 is one of the only and best small phones on the Android side. It's a really solid phone but do your own research to see if it is okay for your needs. If you are going to buy I would recommend waiting until June 29 when it is rumoured that the Zenfone 10 will come out so you can either get the new version or get some good deals on the Zenfone 9.

I have heard about the Zenfone 9. I think it is about the same size as my current Pixel 5, but I want a phone even smaller than that. Thanks for the heads-up about Zenfone 10 though. If it turns out Zenfone 10 will be smaller, then we're golden.

I really hope they change their software support policy. That was a deal-breaker for a lot of potential purchasers.

Absolutely the Zenfone 9 is the best you're gonna get
