I believe the (old but still decent) best small Android is the Samsung s10e

That's still my current phone. Newer phones just look so absolutely massive.

Same, holding on for dear life with my S10E. It's the best form factor, great power button finger print reader, dual SIM, I mean, what's not to love. (battery is kind of meh, but I've added a halo ring and a magnetic induction battery).

What's the point of a small phone if you're going to stick a big battery to it?

My phone is big, but I don't need an external battery. I'm curious to see the size and weight comparison between my phone with a big built in battery, and your phone + battery combo.

Except for the Bixby button, I mostly like my s10e. I have large hands, but still wish it was slightly shorter.

Have you looked into remapping the button? I use Button Remapper and I have it configured to open Google maps and Spotify

Using this right now. If they revived the galaxy mini line (~4in screen) I'd absolutely buy it.

Pixel 5 and Zenphone come to mind, too.

Zenfone and pixel 5 are same size as galaxy S22/S23
