I know I have small hands but c'mon. Flagship phones these days are strait up small tablets, not even what we'd have called on phablets 15 years ago.

I know it's what people buy, but I'm still sad that if I want a phone that small then I have to deal with camera and display a couple gens old

The zenfones upto 9 were the perfect size imo, I'm fine with 6.2-6.3 inches though.

I’m not a size queen, I’ll take any inches I can get,

The Pixel 9 Pro is a flagship phone, the only difference to the Pixel 9 Pro XL is the size, charging speed and battery capacity

Unihertz specializes in small phones. They aren't flagship spec but they are midrange at sensible prices. They also have keyboard phones and even a phone with a built in DMR radio for Amateur and GMRS use.

Not a plug, I don't even own one I just love that they are daring to be different.

Chinese company and the phones use Mediatek chips, so no custom ROM support last I checked. Otherwise I would have been all over it.

One of the few positives of today's designs is the better screen-to-body ratios that we have. This would mean that we can have a 5" screen in the same physical body size that previously used to house a 4 point something inch screen. But for some reason the latest flagship small phones are from a few years ago - I guess sales figures show they're not sought after.

I went from a Pixel 6 Pro (I believe the one on the left might be a Pixel 6 Pro as well) to a Pixel 9 Pro recently and it's just about the perfect size for a phone IMO (6.3").

Not that it’s everyday practical, but you can definitely get small phones. There are definitely lesser known names out there that make phones in all sizes.

And there's still room for a headphone jack.

I've just gone from an iPhone 13 mini to a Pixel 9, and two weeks in I'm still amazed at how damn big it is. I still have the 13 and get a bit spun out when I pick it up.

It's kinda sad that there are hardly any small phones anymore. I chose the 13 mini because I wanted a small phone that I wasn't going to spend all day doomscrolling on, and that broadly worked well for me. This time I wanted a phone that runs GrapheneOS, and don't need the expense of any pro models, so the Pixel 9 was it. And it's huge.

Well, yes.

However I do feel that top vanilla Samsung (S2x) and iPhone (normal Pro, especially since the 16 has the good snappers like the big model) at least still fit the bill of being natural one-hanged-phones.

Even Sony ships of flags (1 ... of which "1 IV" runs Lineage OS!) while big arent as wide and much more handy.

But, I cannot help myself thinking that there must be some market sense in like actually small but premium phones. Something like a 4.2" slab with a 4" screen (thin bezels) and proper cams.

Since shitty versions exist, it must be just less profitable for the big brands to get in to (and phone startups can't make much difference until Linux phones come of age to handle the software side of upgrades and security/privacy).

Bullshit. I have an s24. Before that, I had an s10e.

They both are too big for one handed use, but the s24 even more so.

Before I bought the s24, I even considered to switch to ios after years of Android only, just for their iPhone Mini range. Guess what, they cancelled that.

There are simply no phones by major manufacturers that can be used with one hand.

One word: cartels. Also why make good phones when they can give you an uncomfortable one so you wanna switch sooner.
