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’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).

Yea you have a point but also the bulge on my pants has never looked bigger

[–] nafri@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

consumers in general wants bigger phone, market follow along

sadly, small phone is a niche now

[–] morrowind@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

There's more to it than that. Big phones are more marketable and have better profit margins. It's not all consumer preference. Kinda similar to cars actually

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (11 children)

Well, yes.

However I do feel that top vanilla Samsung (S2x) and iPhone (normal Pro, especially since the 16 has the good snappers like the big model) at least still fit the bill of being natural one-hanged-phones.

Even Sony ships of flags (1 ... of which "1 IV" runs Lineage OS!) while big arent as wide and much more handy.

But, I cannot help myself thinking that there must be some market sense in like actually small but premium phones. Something like a 4.2" slab with a 4" screen (thin bezels) and proper cams.

Since shitty versions exist, it must be just less profitable for the big brands to get in to (and phone startups can't make much difference until Linux phones come of age to handle the software side of upgrades and security/privacy).

One word: cartels. Also why make good phones when they can give you an uncomfortable one so you wanna switch sooner.

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've recently set up my launcher that way that I can access all of my apps without the need of constantly moving my hand up and down. This shit is ridiculous.

I went from a Pixel 6 Pro (I believe the one on the left might be a Pixel 6 Pro as well) to a Pixel 9 Pro recently and it's just about the perfect size for a phone IMO (6.3").

eh. I really liked my pixel 3a xl. perfect pocketability with fantastic screen size.

not particularly wild about the pixel 8's size. :|

[–] Fleur_@hilariouschaos.com 2 points 2 weeks ago

Why can't you use the one you like?

[–] biggerbogboy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

I've got pretty small hands but I am really comfortable with my 6.4 inch Oppo Reno Z, it has all the reachability I need, it isn't too heavy or too light and it's got a large enough display for me.

I used to use a galaxy S4, which has a 5 inch display. I find the galaxy quite cramped and not very usable, but the AMOLED was just as good as the Reno Z, and even had better PPI.

Something that would be pretty frustrating would be if phones get any larger, because I find that the sizes currently are pretty much perfect for everyone, although there should be more options when it comes to smaller phones.

I miss that you can't get them, but I also don't miss having one.
