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

    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).

      Bullshit. I have an s24. Before that, I had an s10e.

      They both are too big for one handed use, but the s24 even more so.

      Before I bought the s24, I even considered to switch to ios after years of Android only, just for their iPhone Mini range. Guess what, they cancelled that.

      There are simply no phones by major manufacturers that can be used with one hand.
