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
or pocket
Still waiting for an iPhone mini here. Cant use the older versions because wtf is lightning port.
We're the kind of people that are pushing our phones to end of support, it's not a market that moves product and thus not one the big companies listen to.
I of course don't miss small flagship phones because my S10e is still perfectly serviceable.
My next phone will be e-ink at any size
consumers in general wants bigger phone, market follow along
sadly, small phone is a niche now
I got the Pixel 9P for this reason. It's actually notably smaller than the previous models.
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).
No way. I have an S24, and this thing is huge compared to my S10. Which was already bigger than I wanted. The last phone I've had that I liked the size of was the S6.
I definitely would love a 4.2" slab.
I thought about the 1 IV, because it still had a headphone jack. But there was a deal going for the S24. That's how they get ya.
Yes, Sony phones are a bit expensive.
I'm not sure what are you taking about the size difference between S10 & S24 tho ... they are the same size (if anything one could say S24 has gotten smaller)?
Did you per change purchase the vanilla S20 but the plus S24 model? :)
Oh, I have the 24+, I guess. It's way too big. The S10 was an OK size, but I want smaller than that even.
I started off with iphone 7, then pixel 5, now on pixel 7a. With each phone, it got increased in size. Pixel 5 was a compromise for me. Pixel 7a feels a step too big to be pocketable.
Do you have small pockets?
You sound like you need the new Razr or the Z Flip
I love the idea of foldable phones but I cannot trust myself with something so fragile. I can hardly even take care of a traditional phone.
I'm lucky the Pixel 6 is as easy to repair as it is I'm on my third screen in like 2 years. Though I do kinda wish I did the 6a since it's smaller.
You never heard of a phone case? It also comes with a pre installed screen protector.
I feel like that doesn't actually solve the problem
It literally fits in the palm of your hand and you can use it as a fully functioning device while closed, what do you mean?
I miss that you can't get them, but I also don't miss having one.
You can literally get them. Buy used
Flagship means the best of the best, of course it’s gonna be large and fancy lmfao.
There’s plenty of phones that fit your niche, but it’s like expecting a cigar boat to be the flagship of the navy dude lol. Gotta temper yourself to realistic expectations, especially when the term “flagship” is thrown out.
This makes no sense. Large doesn't mean fancy. Back in the day, making the phone smaller was fancy.
The minimal company's flagship phone is a minimal phone. It's their signature phone. The flagship was the ship that had the ranking officer/admiral on it, representing the fleet. Apple, google etc all decided their flagship phone would be huge.
OP wants more flagship phones, that is the type of phone the company markets as its main phone, to be smaller. It has little to do with the best but how phones are used. So tell him "tough luck because most people use their phones as a TV so they will remain big". It's not because that's a better phone.
