As if there are equivalent and small phones with Android.

Fairphone is barely profitable with the current ones. Forget they can Risk making a niche-Product
My pixel 5 was awesome but then they started making their phones big again
Pixel 5 was the sweet spot. Then Google decided to only cater for people with enormous hands..
Depends on their needs. If they purely want a phone that fits nice in a pocket, a Z Flip will do. But if they really want the small screen, there are niche brands like Unihertz, which recently released the Jelly Star, a 3" phone with pretty decent specs.
Isn’t the Z flip the one with the screen that has the consistency and hardness of jelly beans?

That’s a bit of a painful workaround considering paying for and not using the main selling point and then having to use a phone that’s twice as thick as it should be.
That was a joke
There are a couple. Namely the Zenfone 8.
