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/

I find my Z Fold 4 easier to hold in one hand due to being more narrow than other phones when folded. Slightly narrower than the Pixel 5.

NOT Pixel 7! I got one because the Pixel 7 Pro was gigantic, but it's just such a mediocre phone and totally not worth what they charge for it.

Sony Xperia 10V or Shiny Xperia 5IV or Sony Xperia 1V

I'm running pixel 4a for this reason (also the support for grapheneos)

Xperia XZ2 Compact (2018) here. Running perfectly with LOS+microG.

But as the phone is starting to fall apart, my desperation is setting in.

Do you have any issues with touch? My XZ2-C has weird touch issues that make it hard to use. Where I touch is different from where it registers the touch 1 mm above. Kind of a bummer. Also, no voice over wifi on Verizon. The phone supports it, but not on VZ network.

MicroG, is that just the stripped down Gapps package?
