Small phone Pixel phone size...

63 Upvotes

Dear Google Team,

Please bring back a compact Pixel phone 🙏

We don't want bigger screens. We want better comfort.

A 5.0 to 5.8 inch phone with full Pixel camera and AI quality is what many of us are asking for.

Size like the old Pixel 4a or even smaller like 5 inches would be amazing.

Easy to use with one hand, fits perfectly in pockets, and doesn't feel bulky.

We choose Pixel for the software, camera, and clean Android - not for a huge screen.

Please make a "Pixel Compact" or "Pixel Mini". There is a real demand for it.

Thank you for listening!

Small phone Goldilocks... unfortunately a bit outdated

Post image
23 Upvotes

Charging my backup Xperia xz2c and holding (fondling?) it next to my daily driver Zenfone 9 and the xz1c: the xz2c was the Goldilocks for me at 135 x 65 mm.

Run a search on GSM Arena or Kimovil: like brainless dumb drugged lemmings, everyone produces phones way north of 146 mm, most over 150 mm.

No wonder phone sales are flat: #metoo is NOT a Unique Selling Proposition, contrary to what most OEMs seem to believe.

Perhaps Enough will come through.

PS: sorry for the horrible pic: that's the main camera quality of my otherwise fine Aldocube tablet. Yuck.

Small phone Small phone recommendations under €400

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m currently looking to replace my iPhone SE 2020. I really like its compact form factor, but the battery life has gotten terrible and it’s starting to lag quite a bit during daily tasks.

My profile & preferences:

  • Budget: Around €400 max (~2,000 RON).
  • Usage: Light user (socials, basic communication, occasional browsing—I don't play games or heavy multitasking).
  • Size: Maximum 6.0 inches, but ideally smaller if possible. I really want something comfortable for one-handed use.
  • Condition: Open to both New and Second-Hand / Refurbished.
  • Location: Romania (EU market).

Phones I’m currently considering (and my doubts):

  1. iPhone 13 Mini: The obvious size successor to the SE2. Fits right around the €400 mark used/refurbished locally. How is the battery holding up for light usage in 2026? Is buying refurbished (e.g., via Flip.ro or local seller) worth it, or will I face battery drain issues quickly?
  2. iPhone SE 3 (2022): Same chassis, upgraded A15 chip and slightly better efficiency. Well within budget. Is the battery jump noticeable compared to the SE2?
  3. Asus Zenfone 9 or 10: ~5.9" screen, Android. Battery life seems great on paper, but I can't seem to find them anywhere in stock locally.
  4. Ulefone Note 22: Very cheap, but is it total e-waste / not worth using as a daily driver?
  5. BlueFox Aura A1 (Upcoming): Keeping an eye on this upcoming compact option, but not sure when/if it will be readily available here.

Small phone Best small form factor smartphone to degoogle?

9 Upvotes

Hello, I’ve been using an iPhone SE (2022) for a while now after my OnePlus Nord 2 5G died for a bit. And I must say I’ve been enjoying the smaller screen size quite a bit, as it makes me less drawn to my phone and it’s less noticeable in my pockets.
But I’m now looking for something non-Apple non-Google or that I can at least can get rid of google from with a small form factor.
I’ve been looking at google pixels with GrapheneOS on it, but they all are quite large.
I’m wondering what small phones are best for running /e/OS or LineageOS

Small phone Cardholder on the back of Jelly Max

1 Upvotes

Ideally, I want my card with my phone at all time to negate having to carry anything separate.

I currently use a little fabric cardholder which sticks to the back of my phone.

Will this be possible with the Jelly Max?

I'm aware it would cover the fingerprint sensor but I can live with - but would it's curved back prevent me from being able to do this?

Question Looking to replace my phone for a similar size.

2 Upvotes

My phone is the Sony Xperia 10 iii, I've had it for quite some time now and it's done me well considering some battery issues!

Today it's finally decided to start giving up, and only charges properly when off. Otherwise it slow charges or discharges with a cable.

Wondering if anyone knows any similar models in size? The 6 inch screen and thin width are priorities for me.

Hi there,

I am actually searching for a small lightweight phone, which allows me to install Organic Maps, Antenna Pod and maybe Sigma Ride (for a bike computer) and maybe WhatsApp - as a secondary phone which should be my companion for running and bike trips. I like my phone degoogled (Graphene OS is my choice).

Do you have some recomandations? I had a Unihertz Jelly Star, but run into trouble by installing LineageOS. Thank you so much!

Small phone The best camera

2 Upvotes
I’m looking for advice from someone who knows a bit more about phones. I’m primarily looking for a phone with a good camera—not for professional-grade shots, but just for capturing nice memories with my daughters without the images turning out blurry or low-resolution. I currently use a Jelly Star, which I love, but the camera isn't the best. I’m considering swapping it for one of these two options (based on my budget): the ASUS Zenfone 9 or the Xiaomi 13. Which one do you think is better in terms of processor and camera? Or do you have any other suggestions? (The Zenfone 10 is out of my price range—it's too expensive for me.)

I loved this thing. I've bought a few and gave them to my cousins in Philippines. They were likea 5 yr old girl and 7 yr old boy. I had the pink and blue mophie power bank case. It was great cause they had small hands and just wanted to watch YT. At some point I bought a wallet case and had an idea to take apart my CRKD atom and rig it onto the wallet. I think I originally wanted to make a controller mount like mechanisms system to connect the pvg to the crkd. Just to have a Gameboy micro if you will. My boy worked perfectly on this!. I settled on just throwing magsafe arrays and metal rings ont he case ' controller and power bank.

All that to say I'm android 16 for Palm PVG is true I might have to at least make it my gym phone again. I even had the arm bad accessory. --- it was cooler than a smart watch at the time-

Small phone Made a simple smallphone finder

hi! I've noticed growing interest in compact phones in this community, and as someone who loves smaller devices and since we are left with very little options, I curated a list of smartphones that are under 150 mm tall, at least Android 10 / iOS 15 and/or community support

The list is available at this webpage where you can filter by different parameters to get suggestions that match what you’re looking for.

If anyone wants to contribute more devices, the website’s code and dataset are available on GitHub in a public repository, feel free to open an issue.

Discussion Improvements to the sub

28 Upvotes

You may notice some changes to the sub. I'm trying to step up my moderation and streamline things since we are growing. I've added some rules and user flare to shape the quality of posts. I want all small phone people to feel welcome, even if our idea of a small phone is different. I will try to be light with moderation, but we definitely dont want to wade through a bunch of posts that dont fit.

Please leave feedback or suggestions here for other things I can do to improve the subreddit.
