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/

Isn't battery an issue? I heard that S22 was a bit lacking on that regard

I chose the s22+ due to battery size and I hate every minute with the flat brick. It is large, battery isn't great either. Camera is bad.

My work payed for the device but I regret buying this thing every day.

I have a calendar item for when I can order a new phone. And for 1 symbolic euro I can buy the device after 2 years and it's not worth a single euro to me.

Glad when I can send this monster away.

Thank you for your valuable feedback. It seems so hard to find a good phone nowadays.

Ow haha sorry I went of the rails with my emotions in the reply but it sure is my personal experience. I came from the S10 which was the perfect size to me. About half a year after I got the S22+ my girlfriend got the s23 (so not the +) and I am a bit jealouse of her cause the phone is just a bit better in every aspect that I care about.

For reference my personal favorite phones have been the samsung S5 and samsung S10. Of both I have had atleast 2 versions.
