I have no idea about any smaller phones.
Is the phone size a problem because it is hard to hold? If so, maybe try one of those things that you stick on the back of your phone as a handle (pop-socket?)
Pixel 7a is the absolute biggest I can semi-comfortably type one-handed on. I can't imagine why bigger ones are more popular - don't people ever use their phone while on a bus and holding onto a handle?? I guess you could use a "one-handed mode" on the keyboard, but I never use it because it makes the keys waaay too small.
I do agree that smartphone have gotten too large to be reasonably comfortable.
It’s ergonomics, yes. I like to use the phone one handed. With a big screen you have to adjust (scoot up and down) all the time, leading to falls (of the phone) and fatigue on the hand.
I’m concerned the pop socket would make it harder to stick my phone in my jeans. I know it’s retractable, maybe I could give it a go if I didn’t find a small phone.
Same boat as you, I like how Unihertz phones look, but there are only some half-working lineageos images for them.
But it looks like people are working on it https://xdaforums.com/tags/unihertz/
They’re small but damn, are they T H I C C!
Is it an Unihertz in your pocket or are you just excited to see me?
