What I dislike about phones these days is notches in the screen and my hands cramping up from the huge screen size combined with how slim the device is.
I just want to be able to hold my phone in one hand and control it that way like I could do with an iphone 4s, though would prefer an android phone.
Take a look at the Asus zenfone 10, I've got me eye on that when this 6t finally gives up the first
At the moment asus really is the last noteworthy manufacturer of phones that can be considered as small and even there were rumours they might stop…
Makes me glad I bought my iPhone 13 mini when I did. It’s the perfect size but sadly also the last of its kind.
Just looked, their smallest phone (Zenphone 9,if my search is worth anything) is slightly larger than a Pixel 5, (to be fair it's narrower and thinner, which can make a big difference, especially being narrower).
Granted the Pixel is 2 years older, but I'd bet that running Lineage very few people would know. I run a 2017 phone that with Lineage is faster than any phone in my circle. It's rather shocking to see the difference a leaner OS combined with some optimization can make (some kernel tweaks make it responsive while improving battery life over stock settings).
The Pixel is just under half the price of the Z9.
I keep trying to find a better phone than the Pixel, (smaller, more battery, more ram, something), but it's really hard to beat. Then again, my requirements aren't everyone's: camera just has to work, I prefer plastic over "nice" materials, don't need SD card, etc.
If I could run Android on iPhone hardware, an iPhone 6 would be awesome. Edit: wow the 13 mini is smaller than the six. Even better!
Yep. I’ve been on iPhone for years and the tininess of the mini just sealed the deal for the next 3-5 years (or however long it‘ll last)
