Spotted by Redditor kaldeqca. What's interesting though is that these figures suggest that it wasn't at the expense of Apple's market share, it's more the other Android OEMs that lost ground to Google:

Funny I'm not looking for a Larger Phone, I'm looking for something smaller. And then a friend mentioned The Light Phone (https://www.thelightphone.com/), and I'm thinking about getting one.

I think that's "a bit" off-topic, as that doesn't seem to be even an Android phone, but

It will never have social media, clickbait news, email, an internet browser, or any other anxiety-inducing infinite feed.

Yeah... if that's your goal then a Nokia 2660 Flip gets you that for much cheaper.

That's an absolutely ass phone for 99.9% of phone users

So you're saying they could have 8M customers? INVEST!!!

If you only use your phone for calling and texting I could see that. But browsing any sort of media looks like that would be awful. Also because of the e-ink screen it is comically small for the size of the device.

Is that an e-ink screen? ..my God just get a pager and use payphones at that point man

I'm looking forward to the ASUS ZenFone 10.

[–] ForestOrca@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What do you like about that one in particular? (https://www.asus.com/mobile-handhelds/phones/zenfone/zenfone-10/techspec/)

TBH, I've used an iPod Touch from gen 4-7, hitching on wifi for internet, telecom, etc. Cheap and easy. Tho' the crappy cam was always an annoyance.

I prefer Android and the ZenFone is small. I've got the hands of a 9-year-old, so the modern trend of massive phones does not work for me.

[–] ForestOrca@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I prefer the smaller phones. That's why I stuck with the iPod Touch for so long.
