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

Yea you have a point but also the bulge on my pants has never looked bigger

[–] 2ugly2live@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I have big hands, so I had the opposite problem. To this day my favorite was the galaxy note 4 because he was a beefy boy ❤️

[–] Cthuwu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 hours ago

Same! I really liked the Note 5 cause I worked for Sprint and got it for free at release. Until the whole exploding batteries thing...

The pixel 9 pro is smaller than my pixel 6. And i hope they continue making smaller pro phones, and an xl variant cus i want to buy a smaller pixel when i need to buy a new one

When I upgraded from a Pixel 6a to a Pixel 8, I was really surprised to find out that not only was my phone slightly smaller, it also had a slightly larger screen. I'm not super happy with google, but the things they focus on with the Pixel line has me pretty bought in.

I thought that was going to be my mom.

[–] Vinstaal0@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I am happy with the size of my iPhone 16 and pretty sure there are other brands that don't have these massive phones as tablets.

[–] milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 4 points 15 hours ago

If I didn't need the flexibility my Android (Lineage) gives me, the iPhone 13 mini is one phone that's actually a nice size.

And my Samsung S10e - just it's out of date for firmware updates.

Though I'd actually prefer something smaller and use my phone for less.

[–] Suavevillain@lemmy.world 13 points 22 hours ago

I just want a keyboard or a modern take on the Sidekick design.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

The problem is they took it too far.

Plus, the larger phones do actually fit in my hands, so...

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I have the opposite viewpoint. I miss big phones that were actually big, and not just really tall.

I miss my Nexus 6.

[–] jadedwench@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That is my exact complaint. The phones are too tall! I am ok with it being wider, but the height is insanity. The whole balance of the phone is awkward and I would be ok with more of the weight on the bottom instead of the middle of a tall ass phone.

I wish I could get a flagship phone with a swappable battery, headphone jack, SD slot and allow my apps to interface with each other's files when I want without having to fuck around with permission bullshit.. I don't care if it's the size of a dinner plate

I remember when I was picked on at work for how big my Note 3 was. They used to call it "my insecurity". Now it's basically smaller than the smallest standard size.

The Note 3 did look ridiculously large back then. Kind of insane.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 day ago (9 children)

What, Flagship? There's no small phones anymore.

People simply did not buy the small phones.

I miss my Droid Mini.
I mean, i still have it. It's just nigh worthless.

[–] Weirdfish@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I'm still rocking a galaxy s8 and I love it. Only problem is many of the apps are dropping support and I cant update the os.

Really not looking forward to a new phone but itll have to happen soon

[–] woelkchen@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

There's definitely someone making a LineageOS port.

[–] Gumus@lemmy.world 47 points 1 day ago (5 children)

The box for HTC HD2 had <---- BIG ----> as dimensions of the phone. It had a 4.3" screen that actually was huge at the time (2009), but it's hilarious from today's perspective.

4in phones had poop batteries, but 6in is too big.

[–] RawrGuthlaf@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

A big bright screen uses more battery. They could make the phone slightly thicker to accommodate a bigger battery.

[–] Yuriq@feddit.rocks 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Still, a 5in oled phone in dark mode is reasonable. LCD eats power like mad.

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.

[–] CanadianCarl@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 hours ago

Do you have small pockets?

[–] tabularasa@lemmy.ca 3 points 23 hours ago

Pixel 5 was the perfect size, imho.

[–] fritobugger2017@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago

The Oppo X8 (non-Pro) is probably the smallest flagship with a top level chip and good camera currently made but it is only available in a few markets.
