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 just got a Unihertz Atom XL - it’s great at 4". It does feel a bit like a phone from 2013, back when screen sizes were like that… but honestly holding my “old” phone in my hand (which was a moto g7) feels CRAZY. I can’t get my thumb across the whole screen and my hands aren’t small. With the phone protector I had on my last phone they were about the same thickness, too.
In general, when I was doing my research, it seemed like there was a couple niche manufacturers like Unihertz that make phones that are smaller than 6" - other than that, yea the Pixel was being mentioned on “Smallest phones in 2023” lists
I have the Unihertz Jelly 2, and I love it. It fits in my front pocket (when I have pockets, bc women aren’t allowed pockets). It’s easier to forget it’s there, which makes me less likely to pull it out constantly.
That’s really nice. I backed the Jelly Star (which has the same dimensions) and can’t wait to try it out. I feel like it won’t be my main phone but still willing to give it a try.
