Small Phones are Dead and We Killed Them

thus spoke zarathustra

if you ask me the ideal folding phone has to be really tiny when folded and tablet size when unfolded, a shame this doesn't seem to be in any manufacturers radar

I loved my Mini 12. I only recently got rid of it (just gave it to my gf) in favor of the razr+ 2024, which I mainly use the small screen on.

Companies did it with prices, not consumers.

Fine with me I love big phones that are small tablets

S23 and 24 are way better than this

They only made sense for people with really small hands.

I love small phones.

I can totally understand the love for smaller more compact phones, but as someone who is 6'3" and has quite large hands the 6.7-6.8" range is absolutely perfect for me and I wouldn't want it any larger. I started with the galaxy's and then fell in love with the note phone which was the first phone I actually felt comfortable typing on and adored the stylus but once they stopped the note I ended up switching to OnePlus and never have looked back though certain other phones occasionally catch my eye. But I actually dont understand how people with smaller hands would want a flagship sized phone. I get enjoying a large screen and what not but for me comfortably holding the phone in one hand my thumb can reach from the bottom of the screen to the top but wouldn't be able to much more than maybe 3/16" max. I couldn't imagine having one as a 5'1" woman it just seems like it would be ridiculously large for someone like that. My mom is actually fairly tall at 5'9" and she uses iphones but will only get the base model because she hates the larger phones. Though I think most consumers just equate bigger to better which is the driving reason.

i only buy small phones, Frick all of you nerds for buying big phones

For me 6 inch is perfect for a phone. 6.7 is too big but only the big ones get features like the Tele lens and that is frustrating.

I like big screens, so small phones arent for me. We're so used to big screens that we dont even notice we're holding one most of the time, like probably right now if we're viewing on a phone.

However, i know very well there's a good market for small phones, even if it doesn't seem like it. Plus the advantages of having a smaller sized phone

I’ve been waiting for a pro mini phone from apple. There are certain features that should not be sacrificed i.e the better camera system. that’s the only thing that tipped me towards the pro rather than the mini.

Man, I had a pixel 4A abd I just upgraded to the 9 pro and I MISS MY 4A SO MUCH

Me personally love small phone , my last 4 phones I brought only for they were small. at present I use Iphone 13 mini, but sadly apply cut their mini segment .

Sure I'd love to buy a smaller screen phone but none of them are a complete package. The Zenfone 10 does only 30W charging while smaller Samsung and Apple phones have similar speed but the charger is not even included. My 400$ phone does 67W with the included charger but unfortunately the downside is that it has 6.7 inch screen, it was something that I learned to accept and by now I'm used to it.

im glad because no one wants to pay more for a smaller phone they feel like its a rip off and would rather justify a more expensive larger one for maybe 200+ vs the small ones

That quote like something Nietzsche said, but for content creation purpose

thats why i buy samsung lol. 6 inch.

after the dawn of the mobile phone, phones got smaller and smaller, then there was porn on the internet and the phones got excited

I have the s10e as a compact flagship phone. It's doing great job and i mind keep it at least 3 years.

Damn Samsung and Apple, Samsung is the one that started the trend of ridiculously large screens, and Apple is the one that kicked off the trend of multi-zone induction cooktop cameras.

i need a iphone 4 size small phone, my hands are so smol i anything larger is a tablet.

Watching this on the Galaxy S23. Blessed to have a small phone that works well.

Uniherzt Jelly Star and Jelly Max? 🙂

I have really large hands and downsized from the galaxy fe series to the s series. It's much better and my pockets wear out much slower aswell

literally first thing i look at when looking for new phone is screen size. if its over 6.5" i move on

Just got the Z Flip 6. The screen is still a bit too tall when it's folded open but it's narrow and easy to hold and operate with one hand and super easy to pocket when closed. Flip phones are now the best option for us small-phone-lovers imo.

I just stick to mid range phones. I've honestly had the thought to get a dumbphone because I really use my phone for YouTube eBay and as a camera. And being big is just a pain in the ass

Still using my 12 mini, just changed the battery and its good to go for some more years probably.. however next time i would get one with a bigger screen. It is just better to use.

Ill pay more for a smaller phone.

I mean, Sony still makes phones right

I want a 13 mini so bad. I wish I could still buy one new :C

I'm a PC person. I have no need for a large phone screen. I'd rather have a one-handable phone. It's so useful when you're out and about.

The way I think it should work is you have your ultra and Pro Max phones be the huge ones then you have your pros and pluses be regular sized and then the base model is a mini phone.

apple doesnt understand that they can still sell small flagship phones, because that user demographic isnt participating in surveys

My phone don't need to be bigger than a 6.2 inch touch screen that's just the way it is not everybody on Earth has hands the size of Shaquille freaking Neil if I can't use the phone with one hand I don't want the sucker

my dad loves small flagship phones ,its really sad to see this dead

The s20+ was fire lol
So is the 16pro

6.1-6.3 the original size of small computer

the mini phone sold less because all the good features were on the bigger. probably if they had done a mini pro porobably qould have gone better

Now I finally know which phone to buy. Its going to be the Zenfone

I actually find my 6'7 screen too big for a comfortable use, I'd rather go for something a bit smaller

I came across this video by chance and since I like small phones, I’ll write my opinion, even if the video is outdated.

Most often, a small phone should be small (5+ inches is already big) and thin (more than 8 mm is already a lot) and made of good materials. Unfortunately, such dimensions cannot accommodate what manufacturers want – a refrigerator, a car, a microwave, a super computer and a charging station. And all this should be inside the flagship. And if there is no extra shit inside the phone, then it’s difficult to try to sell it. Because the other phone has it all.
I keep hoping that there will be some Chinese company that can make a small phone without unnecessary crap, but beautiful design and made from good materials. So that it calls and can launch modern text managers. For many people, this is enough. The phone should ring, and not be a 20-inch refrigerator.

compact smartphones are alive, thanks to samsung
