I’m using a Sharp Aquos Wish from 2022, because it’s 5.8 inches tall. It just barely fits in my pocket, but honestly is a bit uncomfortable. I wish I had a phone about 5.5 inches tall. Ideally with the latest android OS, a good battery, and wireless charging.
NOTHING like that exists! The closest is maybe the Unihertz Jelly Max, which is Android 14 instead of 15, and doesn’t support wireless charging. It’s also made in China, and comes preinstalled with spyware.
I could use GrapheneOS if I got a Google Pixel, but Google doesn’t have a line of small phones. They even developed foldable phones so they could make a smaller foldable phone if they wanted, but instead they created the abomination that is the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, which is a gigantic 6 inch phone when folded, and unfolds into a tablet-sized device. For the love of god, WHY!???
The whole point of foldables was to make phones smaller, not make them twice as big! Who was responsible for this?
I don’t know what to do. At this point I think I may never upgrade my phone. I’ll be using my Sharp Aquos Wish 10 years from now, and then abandon phones entirely when the network stops servicing Android 11.
I’m not that familiar with the North-American market, but small cars are way more common in Europe and East-Asia.
That’s not my experience. But then I prefer somewhat loose fitting slacks.
I’ve seen some of the photos of people driving American-sized pickup trucks around Europe and I hope they get outlawed. Unfortunately, Europe and Asia do have so many more options - sometimes even by American companies much to my annoyance.
I occasionally look into getting a Kei car of some sort. Though it’s not really practical for me. Maybe one day, by the time a sub five inch flagship phone is developed perhaps.
