There's no postponing it any longer. I need a new phone. Suggestions?

[roydan]

Well, I have the Poco 4 something pro, which is the worst phone I've ever had.
It's too big (I hate typing with both hands), all the system apps have ads (wtf?!) and the call vibration is so weak, it's practically nonexistent (see if you can hold your jokes).

I'm looking for an Android device that is reliable and light. Ideally, small enough to type with one hand without resizing the keyboard. I remember that @Gogol talked about Nokia G42 (too big) but other than that, I don't really know what direction to go in other than the Pixel which have too many variations that all sounds and look the same.

I bought a Samsung something a few months ago but @xReminisce kinda ruined it for me.

Asus Zenfone 10 (not really available here)
Pixel 7a, although the 9 is smaller.
Sony Xperia 5 V (also not that available here).

Nothing phones may be? I have heard good things about them, including the form factor. Try going to a showroom and taking a look.

edit: but yeah, small phones are slowly going away. Because they don’t sell as much as bigger models. I would have loved to buy an iphone mini latest model, but nothing like that is available currently.

Too big, I looked at them too.

I recently got a Google Pixel 9 and I can type with one hand.

Would recommend.

Works great so far at least .

Go for Samsung galaxy S24 ultra or S23 ultra.

They are much better than the phones you mentioned above.

blame the market.

Only a very few (me included) like small smartphones.

The other hand is going what at that time?

Picking my nose, of course.

@xReminisce will kill me. I think one of them is the model I bought and never used.

I am a user and a huge fan of the Infinix phones. I recently purchased the Infinix Hot 50 Pro and I LOVE IT!

I'm fan of Nokia since keypad phones, even now Im using Nokia mobiles..

I recommend, Nokia Models for long lasting working phones..

I've Good working experience in the mobile shop like 15 years back during college days.. ( part time work in brother mobile shop)

Where we sell almost all models..I market as many customers to Nokia

In those period, NOKIA , sony ericsson, Motorola are Best phones & Top model in Nokia is N73 series' (I'm talking at those times)

Later comes LG, Samsung, videocon as many new brands.. But none meets Level of Nokia.

Since I used & bored with many Brands..

From my experiences, iphone & nokia are best brands when it comes to quality, user experience, etc..

Since you're looking for Android, so I suggest nokia..

Check for latest Upcoming Nokia Models..

I got something for you,

the pixels are good phones.
Not bloated, straight to the point and 100% google spyware.
You don't need to wait months (or in some cases, never) for hotfixes, security patches and what not like other brands.
Loved the original pixel series, and when they relaunched the series with the 6, just had to buy it.
Would recommend.
Motorola Razr Plus? But do you want a foldable phone?

Honestly, it's pretty had finding tiny phones anymore.
cough iphone SE

big phones are annoying to carry

Don`t you have a pink purse like real fancy ladies should have?

 

[whitepeachsnacklordo]

Personally a huge fan of the older Samsungs, the ones pre-2020, perfect size as long as you don't care about a kind of shitty camera

Foldable phones should have dies in the 00s

So far, it looks like Pixel is the winner and the 8a is the smallest pixel between the 7-8-9 models.
Does the 0.2" difference between 8a to the 9 is worth the difference in specs?

Yeah, my favorite was the s3. 4.7" and that was all we ever needed as a species.

Tech is just not there yet sadly
it will evolve

it be a good improvement in specs from a to a normal series + a new gen of cpu

Yes I am pretty sure. There are natural things that can fold and straighten and can function properly for decades. We just need to mimic nature.

0.2" worth of improvement? I guess I'm gonna have to leave the house and see. I fckn hate going to stores.
