I like the feeling of holding and using a phone in one hand. I am using a Pixel 5 right now, but it feels a bit too large for me. I know nobody makes phone that small like the iPhone 4S or the Samsung S3 mini anymore, but is there at least a phone smaller than the Pixel 5? Maybe around the size of a iPhone 12/13 mini?
Small phones are in a crisis right now. I'm still holding on to my Galaxy S7. If you want something newer there's the Pixel 4a or the Asus Zenfone 9 if you have money to spend. Zenfone 10 is coming soon and so far it's THE only small phone planned for release this year
i upgraded from the s7 to the s22 and i think its the perfect size. really marginally larger than my s7, getting something in a similar size was important to me and it really is just right.
I chose the s22+ due to battery size and I hate every minute with the flat brick.
It is large, battery isn't great either.
Camera is bad.
My work payed for the device but I regret buying this thing every day.
I have a calendar item for when I can order a new phone. And for 1 symbolic euro I can buy the device after 2 years and it's not worth a single euro to me.
Ow haha sorry I went of the rails with my emotions in the reply but it sure is my personal experience.
I came from the S10 which was the perfect size to me.
About half a year after I got the S22+ my girlfriend got the s23 (so not the +) and I am a bit jealouse of her cause the phone is just a bit better in every aspect that I care about.
For reference my personal favorite phones have been the samsung S5 and samsung S10. Of both I have had atleast 2 versions.
