    I ended up buying a Motorola razr because at least the fucking thing fits in my pocket for once. That’s honestly the biggest tangible benefit I’ve gotten out of a phone purchase in a while.

    Each iteration of phone seems more like something I don’t want to even be involved with. Maybe I’ll just buy a light phone next time.

      I remember when I could do everything with my phone using a single hand. I never grabbed my phone with two hands. Now I need two hands much more than before.

        I don’t know why phablets are a thing. Phones are too big imo.

        I had a Motorola g power from 2020? I think? That’s about the right size. I actually wish they could make a usable phone that’s about the size of the bottom half of this one I’m using right now, but it would take some UI innovation which nobody is interested in. It’s funny too because the bigger flagship phones are more expensive, but I’d never pay for that.

          You might be interested in the unique looking designs on https://www.unihertz.com/ .

          They’ve got some really tiny ones and some with physical keyboards even. I like the designs but dunno about their update commitment or hardware specs much.

            This sounds almost perfect. I’m missing the option to install a custom ROM or as you said specs on support.
