I despise the fact that most Android phones start with a 6-inch screen. I was resolute to switch to an iPhone mini next time when I'll change phones but then they also killed that product line. 🫠

I really miss the time I can do everything with one hand using only one thumb.

It doesn't solve the overall size issue but the latest versions of Android have a one handed mode that brings the notification shade and display down to a little less than half the screen.

I'm the complete opposite tbh. I have tiny hands so phones are hard to handle but my ideal size has always been 6.7 inches.I love how can see so much on there and how everything is so much easier to see and how my fingers have tons of room to work with when typing. Anything below 6.3 inches feels really cramped for me.
