    Not just a small phone, but an ergonomically shaped phone is missing from the market. It would be great to have devices again that you can cradle in your hand and slip into a small pocket. Thin slabs are nice on a display shelf, but they aren’t human-centered. Give me a phone with a curved and grippy back and a 5.x inch display.

      I actually feel like the current trend to a more flat trim, like the current iPhones, Galaxies and (rumored) the Pixel 8 have is more ergonomic, since you actually have a solid edge to hold on to instead of something rounded that slips from your fingers

        I actually prefer rounded edges. Just doesn’t feel nice to get pinched into your hand.

    This is why I love my Pixel 4a. I think it’s like 5.8 inches and it’s just the ideal size to use comfortably and fit in my pocket.

      I bought my 4A from a refurbisher two years after release, for the original retail price. Which is kind of insane, but there simply was no alternative for a similar sized phone at the time.

      I really like it though.
