I like the feeling of holding and using a phone in one hand. I am using a Pixel 5 right now, but it feels a bit too large for me. I know nobody makes phone that small like the iPhone 4S or the Samsung S3 mini anymore, but is there at least a phone smaller than the Pixel 5? Maybe around the size of a iPhone 12/13 mini?

EDIT: There is a small Android phone project in development for anyone interested: https://smallandroidphone.com/

Small phones are in a crisis right now. I'm still holding on to my Galaxy S7. If you want something newer there's the Pixel 4a or the Asus Zenfone 9 if you have money to spend. Zenfone 10 is coming soon and so far it's THE only small phone planned for release this year

The pixel 4a will stop receiving updates on September this year. Not a good choice fit security reasons

i upgraded from the s7 to the s22 and i think its the perfect size. really marginally larger than my s7, getting something in a similar size was important to me and it really is just right.

Isn't battery an issue? I heard that S22 was a bit lacking on that regard

I chose the s22+ due to battery size and I hate every minute with the flat brick. It is large, battery isn't great either. Camera is bad.

My work payed for the device but I regret buying this thing every day.

I have a calendar item for when I can order a new phone. And for 1 symbolic euro I can buy the device after 2 years and it's not worth a single euro to me.

Glad when I can send this monster away.
