New-ish meaning anything that has 4G. Today every phone i See is huge and annoying.

          Agree, but also half the story.

          The zenphone 10 is 146.5 x 68.1 x 9.4 mm.

          I had a 3a until very recently. With its 5.7" screen it was 151.3 x 70.1 x 8.2 mm, so it does support the story.

          The OG iPhone was 115 × 61 × 11.6 mm.

          I’m still using an iPhone 8 for my work phone and it’s 138.4 x 67.3 mm x 7.3 mm.

          It’s clear that the market is demanding larger phones, which means that today’s “small” phones are often larger than the phones of yesteryear.

            True and I didn’t address that, just the shallow view of bigger number bigger phone.

        We arrived at a time where 5.9" is considered small…

        I see you’ve met my girlfriend.

      My main issue with that phone is the abysmal software support. Asus promised 2 years of OS support and 4 years of security updates. So its OS updates are going to stop soon and you get 2 years of security updates if you buy the phone today.

        I have a samsung s9 running android 10. Everything works, so it’s probably not a critical issue. Still, I got android 14 running with noble rom and it worked perfectly, besides banking apps.
