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
Yea you have a point but also the bulge on my pants has never looked bigger
I have big hands, so I had the opposite problem. To this day my favorite was the galaxy note 4 because he was a beefy boy ❤️
Same! I really liked the Note 5 cause I worked for Sprint and got it for free at release. Until the whole exploding batteries thing...
or pocket
The pixel 9 pro is smaller than my pixel 6. And i hope they continue making smaller pro phones, and an xl variant cus i want to buy a smaller pixel when i need to buy a new one
I am happy with the size of my iPhone 16 and pretty sure there are other brands that don't have these massive phones as tablets.
If I didn't need the flexibility my Android (Lineage) gives me, the iPhone 13 mini is one phone that's actually a nice size.
And my Samsung S10e - just it's out of date for firmware updates.
Though I'd actually prefer something smaller and use my phone for less.
I just want a keyboard or a modern take on the Sidekick design.
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.
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 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
Just get a USB-c dongle and let that sit on your headphones. These days nearly everything has USB-c anyway and the sound is way better. The last phones I had with the USB-c jack (RedMi Note 13 Pro and iPhone 4 before that) all sounded worse than me using a cheap DAC. Getting an expensive DAC will improve the sound even more.
Personally I say that most would need to get a NAS before they need a SD card or you need to get a dedicated Camera or MP4 player if your pictures or music exceed the 500GB max and streaming isn;t an option using a NAS.
The rest of your points are valid.

Yeah spending 100s of dollars on whole other devices you have to carry around instead of like 10 for an SD card makes a ton of sense.
Yeah man cause a SD card that sits in your phone also works as a backup solution.
It's not a backup. Neither is a camera or MP4 player (which also can't play games or display books/comics, so I'd be up to 4 devices to have all my media covered). It's a way of keeping my media available while I am on the go with or without a internet connection. It's by far the simplest solution and allows me to do everything on my phone.
A MP4 player can play games or display books/comics. The once from FiO basically are Android devices from which you cannot call (or maybe with an internet connection you can).
Being on the go without an internet connection is getting rarer and rarer anyway so that is less of an issue for most.
Truth of it all is that most people want tinner phones and/or wireless earbuds/headsets and the people who do not are for a big part audiophiles who want better audio quality than a phone is going to offer. So there is only a relatively small section of users who prefer the audio jack.
I used to want one and a SD card and a good 3mm jack as well, but it just doesn't exist. So I switched to using a NAS (a raspberry Pi can get your pretty far), plus an iPod or Spotify with dongles or just wireless.

I think the real truth is most people just take whatever the phone corporations shovel down their throats without thinking too much about it as long as they have the newest model. Phones have been thin enough for years now. They've hit the point where they can't make the camera as thin as the rest of the phone so it sticks out and won't sit flat. It's ridiculous. It's not like they've replaced the features we lost with new better technology anyway. There's no reason customer focused reason to remove those features. They did it to sell more shit and make their devices less repairable. Expecting people to carry two or more devices when one could do everything is asinine. Also my phone has a Hi-fi DAC and gives fantastic audio quality through the headphone jack.
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.
I miss my Droid Mini.
I mean, i still have it. It's just nigh worthless.
I'm still rocking a galaxy s8 and I love it. Only problem is many of the apps are dropping support and I cant update the os.
Really not looking forward to a new phone but itll have to happen soon
There's definitely someone making a LineageOS port.
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 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.
Do you have small pockets?
Pixel 5 was the perfect size, imho.
