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 Sony Xperia 5 used to fit the bill, but the gen 6 (the Xperia 5 V) came out a couple of years ago and did not get a bump like the 1 (premium) and 10 (mid range) which now have a 7th gen. I also think it was dropped from US sale even further back, maybe with the 4th or 5th gen?

    Even that phone is fairly large (well, tall - it has a unique shape as it has a 21:9 screen ratio) but now it’s gone, there’s nothing that fits the bill for me size wise outside of the newer flips from other manufacturers. The dropping of the Xperia 5 was a sad day for me as I’ve been on the smaller Xperia phones since the Z was launched way back…

    …switching from Xperia means losing the headphone jack too.
