Not really there's the Unihertz ones that seem more novelty to be honest I think the one called Jelly Max is the newest one. Specs wise they don't seem awful or anything but I've never seen one in person to be honest.
Apart from them Sony maybe but you'll pay a lot.
The asus zenphone 10 is a 5.9" Phone relased in july 2023.
Here's some info:
We arrived at a time where 5.9" is considered small...
The number alone means nothing. Ratios and bezels can and do make a difference.
That's uh...what she said?
Not really, and the reason is very simple. Ordinary folks don't buy computers any more. A mobile device is all they need. So might as well get one with as big a screen as possible.
There are a handful of niche brands that make small models for weird people like us, including Cubot and Unihertz. I have one of the former, it's tiny and works fine.
Clarification. I have a Cubot King Kong Mini. 3.5in screen or thereabouts, standard 2 cameras (i.e. as many as you need), NFC, unskinned stock Android latest version. People assume its a dumbphone although really it's not. But I don't use it for much, intentionally.
Apparently oneplus is planning to launch a mini version of their latest phone.
"Mini". With a 6.3 inch screen this is like calling Shaq small because he's shorter than Yao Ming.
Well relatively small compared to their normal model which is unusable single handed. (Buyer remorse kicking in already)
Back in 2022 when I upgraded my phone that died of old age, I was honestly kind of shocked that I could not use modern phones one handed anymore. Idk why everyone is just ok with needing two hands to operate their phones at all time????
I have something kind of like a pop socket on the back of my phone which helps a ton though but still.
The predominant marketing and business philosophy is to build products that can be sold to the maximum number of people. (That is - undifferentiated, one size fits all products over solving specific needs). And since phones have become primary media and computer devices for most people, who want to use it all day, it makes more sense to make bigger phones with all the features and big batteries. Companies will say consumers want this kind of device because this is the only kind of device they make which is also usable (same thing with SUVs and crossovers in auto industry), but ignore other large consumer groups who want small phones, custom ROMs, interesting designs, etc etc.
Yo, you can play with the sliders in gsmarena

I did some preconfiguring, but you can adjust the sliders. You can also pick the phone dimensions apart from the phone display:)
wow thanks! this is the perfect site!
Isn't there always one Google Pixel model and one iPhone, that's a bit smaller than the average? I mean there has to be a list of small phones somewhere on the internet.
The iPhone 13 mini was discontinued in 2023, I think.
Now you can choose the smallest “big” phone, but it’s still big.
I hate this.
I just bought a new battery for my 12 mini, I’m not going to upgrade until small phones are back.
But also this phone still works perfectly, it’s like the day I bought it after the new battery.
Be interesting to see if it happens, but like cars, manufacturers are going down a “bigger is better” route.
I was at a subaru dealership and they had a mid 2000s Subaru next to a new one
The old one was awesome, big windows, good storage, small footprint. It was way smaller than the modern one, which is a full on SUV.
2022 iPhone SE Gen 3 will be the last 4.7 inch screen. Gen 4 is rumored to be a 6.1 inch.
Oh wow, that's small. I've had a Pixel 4a for the last few years and that was already small at 5.8 inches, compared to what other people carry around... Idk what OP's use case is... My Pixel was great, but I'd advise against buying a phone that doesn't get the security vulnerabilities fixed any more... And the successors have become larger and heavier. Idk maybe one if the flip-phones?
I’m still using my 2020 SE that has the same screen size. It’s needed a battery swap last year which set me back $50, but that was installed at the Apple Store.
Apple supports their phones for quite a few years. When they drop support for this phone I’ll be on the new small phone journey myself.
