    Agreed.

    Manufacturers seem to think that we all need a massive screen to watch films and play games on.

      I guess most people browse the web and that’s why bigger screens work better. I happily bought bigger phones. Some people like to pretend phones are for calls but that’s just not true IME.

      I think it’s part of a push of making your smartphone your “everything” device. I love small phones but I will say that some tasks are just impossible with them.

    People have been saying this for the last 5 years and will continue saying this for the next 5 years. They make less smaller phones cuz people don’t buy them

      As a woman: I’d love to use bigger phones - as soon as they give me pockets I can fit them into.

      It’s one of the reasons I find foldables so interesting. The Google Pixel Fold has the perfect form factor. If only it wasn’t so expensive…

    Haven’t thought of small phones in a while, unless you look into dumb phones, like Nokia 3310 reboot.

    Great little phone, but does not have smart features that smart phones have.

    Nice to see the sizes being compared, I was not expecting it, but wow have phone become huge.

    I wonder if Pine64 or similar would create a small phone, they have launched phones before…
