They are all so fucking huge! Can't anyone make a good <= 6" Phone anymore?
Seriously, I want a phone that I can hold in one hand, and my thumb can reach the entirety of the screen. My current phone is so bulky and heavy, I can barely reach half the screen with my thumb.
Have you looked at Sony? Their phones used to be more narrow, iirc.
I haven't, do you have any specific recommendations? These Xperias seem just as big, if not bigger, than the phone I currently have. And I don't know if narrower is necessarily the solution to my problem either, I know we live in a 16:9 world, but I kind of just want a square phone.
Are you Donald Trump?
Unfortunately(?) no, if I was I'd be able to afford a convenient micro sized phone. Or I'd just demand some tech company make it for me.
Yea 6 inch is like the limit of a good sized phone for me. Phablets have gone too far.
Unfortunately not. I really looked.
My criteria are:
I ended up with a bigger phone than I wanted. A Nokia XR21 which will last me until the updates end.
I recommend the "Quick Cursor". It lets me use a larger phone one handed.
I miss the 4-5" smart phones. A HTC Desire was the perfect size and form factor for me. It's not been beaten yet.
I need to buy a new phone and my criteria is basically yours, plus having a good camera. I would go for the FP6 but as I was checking a review video, the camera is not very good... Do you have by any chance any recommendations?
I'd look at HMD fusion if I were buying now and look for the business edition with longer update support and more RAM.
My Nokia was made by HMD. It's been great and will be for a while longer as it's got plenty of support.
You can get an "outfit" (case) with a built in ring light for the 108MP camera which I definitely don't need. The "outfit" system is basically the phone has a set of pins on the back that allow custom hardware extensions built into to the case.
The HMDs have got to the point I could repair them or replace the battery without worrying about a heat pad and glue. That's a big selling point.

Unihertz Jelly Star!
Granted, I'm not certain how you'd define "good." I got one just to play music on, and it might well have become my regular daily phone, but the camera isn't quite what I would want. But it's so small!
Yeah, sounds pretty nice. But as you guessed, my definition of "good" includes official Lineageos support or similar, which it does not seem to have. Or has someone tried a GSI rom with it?
Yea totally agree, but I guess thatโs just the normโฆ. Thatโs why Iโm โstuckโ with the iPhone Mini.
The FP6 is only marginally larger (6.3") and actually "feels" fairly compact, if that makes sense. Recently switched to one from a FP3 (5.6") without any issues and without having to adjust anything about how I use it.
A subjective matter, surely. Currently I have a Samsung S10 at 6.1" and I find it uncomfortably big at times. If you compare the FP6 with the FP3, they don't actually differ in body size that much because the FP3 had a way lower screen-to-body ratio, therefore they might seem very similar when holding in hand. With phones nowadays mostly having that huge screen-to-body ratio, bigger screens are one the one hand easier to fit in a smaller device, but at the other hand, the phones themselves also seem to get bigger and bigger. Try going on the lineageos device overview site and filter for phones in the last 5 years under 6", that's what i mean.
