As if there are equivalent and small phones with Android.

i wish fairphone filled that market gap, and throw in a headphone jack as well.

Fairphone is barely profitable with the current ones. Forget they can Risk making a niche-Product

Depends on their needs. If they purely want a phone that fits nice in a pocket, a Z Flip will do. But if they really want the small screen, there are niche brands like Unihertz, which recently released the Jelly Star, a 3" phone with pretty decent specs.

Isn’t the Z flip the one with the screen that has the consistency and hardness of jelly beans?

[–] redditReallySucks@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes if you open it. You could also only use the outside screen which would give you a phone with a small screen.

That’s a bit of a painful workaround considering paying for and not using the main selling point and then having to use a phone that’s twice as thick as it should be.

My pixel 5 was awesome but then they started making their phones big again

[–] tony@lemmy.hoyle.me.uk 2 points 1 year ago

Pixel 5 was the sweet spot. Then Google decided to only cater for people with enormous hands..

There are a couple. Namely the Zenfone 8.
