Small frame phone, privacy respecting (mander.xyz)

I need to change phones. It seems the holy grail of privacy on phones is GrapheneOS, but it only works on pixels, which are huge compared to my already awkward iPhone 13 mini (5.2 x 2.5 in / 132 x 64 mm).

Is there any phone out there that is fast, small, and easily supports a privacy OS?

Thanks!

Your best bet is pixel 8 or 9 base model. Supports grapheneos.

I hate big phones too. Pixel 8 is small enough to use one handed if you have a ring on the back of the case. Fingerprint scanner is absolutely ABYSMAL tho. Really, utterly terrible.
