I spent 6 hours on google to find a phone with a screen smaller than 6 inch. I did find none (except an old iPhone, but I want android), so I had to buy one 6 inch. It is too unwieldy. I am annoyed.
There is a serious market for people like me. Do not look away. Somebody will buy these phones.
Also, by the way, it’s not bad if the phones are a bit thicker.
See, I want a smaller screen on my phone too, my big issue is that when manufacturers go with a small screen, they usually also think “budget phone”. No. Fuck you. I want a premium phone, same as any other flagship, but smaller. Sure, you can lose a camera, I don’t care as long as the pictures are still decent… You can put in a smaller battery too, there isn’t as much space inside so I get it… But give me all the same of all the other sensors and storage and everything.
Unfortunately this just seems to be not true. Samsung, sony, google, apple all had smaller phones in their lineup at one time but eventually pulled them from the stack because they were not profitable. Don’t even get me started on the small phone scene in the budget segment. Absolutely no options exist. The unfortunate reality is that while small phone enthusiasts like us are very vocal, we a vocal minority and not enough of us exist who can make designing a smaller phone viable for companies.
Smartphone manufacturers, if you’re reading this:

They just won’t.
