Everytime someone says this and manufacturers end up making a smaller phone... no one buys them.

[–] d3Xt3r@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I did. I bought the original Jelly. Now I use the biggest phone of them all, a Fold 4...

In saying that, I might buy the new Jelly too, it's IR blaster feature would come in handy as a universal remote, plus, in case I ever decide to take up running, would be easier to carry the Jelly around instead of a Fold.

This is the reason I'm so hype for the Pixel Fold. Apparently it's only a 5in screen when closed . We'll have to see how the other specs shake out and whether the price is worth it, but it sounds promising.

Most people prefer big phones.

As a man they still would need to fit in my jeans pocket though... So we are kinda at a limit now.

[–] faltuuser@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Agree. Personally I would prefer a smaller phone. But options are very limited.

[–] MSugarhill@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because it's mostly small crap phones or small expensive phones. A 4,5 to 5 inch pixel, a 5 to 5,5 inch pixel pro to current prices. I'd buy it instantly.

[–] slinky317@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

In the beginning days of the Pixel, both sizes were the same specs - just one bigger than the other. The XL outsold the smaller one consistently.
