There seems to be a trend for larger phones that I’m just not on board with. It’s one of the reasons I’ve stuck with apple - the iPhone 13 mini is really as big as I’d ever want a phone. If I could find something private, and not requiring me learning a whole new set of skills to use, then I’d jump ship in a heartbeat, but there really doesn’t seem to be that much on offer

Fun fact is that apple mocked Google (Android) for their phones being too big. Only later to go full on big phones.

I have a Moto Razr 50ultra flip phone. Excellent pocketability, a lot of tasks can be perormed on the small outside screen, flip open for content consumption etc To me its a geeat design

That does look like a decent phone. What Os do you run?

I’m willing to learn totally new things and let go of some niceties even if I’m ever again able to buy iPhone 13 mini sized phone for under 600 euros.

I want a phone the size of the iPhone 4s.

Exactly. I’m ok with a tiny screen as long as it does android auto, and I can see a photo fairly clearly. The 4s was pretty ideal
