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

I have big hands and loved my Samsung Galaxy Flip 4 for this reason, plus it would fit comfortably in my pockets (especially when leaning/bending forwards)

Notice the past tense? Despite taking very good care of it, the hinges didn't last long. Rip

The Pixel 9 Pro is a flagship phone, the only difference to the Pixel 9 Pro XL is the size, charging speed and battery capacity

The zenfones upto 9 were the perfect size imo, I'm fine with 6.2-6.3 inches though.

One of the few positives of today's designs is the better screen-to-body ratios that we have. This would mean that we can have a 5" screen in the same physical body size that previously used to house a 4 point something inch screen. But for some reason the latest flagship small phones are from a few years ago - I guess sales figures show they're not sought after.

and your pockets! in both the literal and figurative sense.

[–] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

I have large hands and I don't like having to make the compromise of features or size. I prefer phones around 5in or a smidge under. But to have a modern camera I have an almost 7in phone. It's really frustrating.

I miss my Droid Mini.
I mean, i still have it. It's just nigh worthless.

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.

[–] milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago

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And my Samsung S10e - just it's out of date for firmware updates.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.

[–] orcrist@lemm.ee 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Why would you buy a flagship phone? It sounds like you want not that. And not that exists.

I dont like big phones.

I'm rocking an SE2 and probably next year I'll reluctantly upgrade to an SE3, which I will keep for at least two more years. After that, I'm fairly certain I'm cooked, as all available phones will be faceid phablets. FML.

I've just gone from an iPhone 13 mini to a Pixel 9, and two weeks in I'm still amazed at how damn big it is. I still have the 13 and get a bit spun out when I pick it up.

It's kinda sad that there are hardly any small phones anymore. I chose the 13 mini because I wanted a small phone that I wasn't going to spend all day doomscrolling on, and that broadly worked well for me. This time I wanted a phone that runs GrapheneOS, and don't need the expense of any pro models, so the Pixel 9 was it. And it's huge.

Aren't the Pixel phones reasonably compact still?

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Yea the a series is supposed to be the small, cheap and good line

The non-a but not the Pros are smaller, but "affordable flagship"

Pro series are the big premium flagships or Foldy phones (until el Goog changes their mind (again) at least)

the A series is smallish, the last small android phone was probably the Asus Zenfone 10, then Asus axed that line and merged the Zenfone line and ROG phone line and followed the ROG phones size. A phones however aren't flagship so theyd fail the check.

I’m still on my 2016 iPhone SE. It’s slow and buggy but for my purposes it’s great and the screen is only 10cm (4in).
