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/

I have to say, as someone with not large hands, my Z Flip is amazing. At first I was worried about durability but this thing is a tank. Coming from a S10+ to this, I wanted a phone that would fit in one hand and collapse really small. Plus FLIP

Z flip is way too big for me unfortunately. It is basically as wide as my current Pixel 5 but much longer. I don't think I would be comfortable using it.

Isn't S10+ pretty big phone as well?

Durability is the main reason I don't even considered flexible screen phones when I was searching for a new one. How do you protect it against scratches? Plastic screens get scratched by nearly everything and as far as I know you can't apply any type of screen protector on flexible devices
