I know I have small hands but c'mon. Flagship phones these days are strait up small tablets, not even what we'd have called on phablets 15 years ago.

I know it's what people buy, but I'm still sad that if I want a phone that small then I have to deal with camera and display a couple gens old

Aren't the Pixel phones reasonably compact still?

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Yea the a series is supposed to be the small, cheap and good line

The non-a but not the Pros are smaller, but "affordable flagship"

Pro series are the big premium flagships or Foldy phones (until el Goog changes their mind (again) at least)

This is not true at least not anymore. The pixel 8a is almost the same size as the pixel 8. If anything it's a tiny bit bigger and heavier

Also the pixel 7, 8 and 9 are all practically the same size which IMO is not small at all. They are all huge with screens over 6in in size.

They also all weight in the 190g ballpark which in my opinion is too heavy as well.

I'd probably have a Pixel if I didn't have a habit of dropping my phone off the top of a ladder.

[–] Dudewitbow@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

the A series is smallish, the last small android phone was probably the Asus Zenfone 10, then Asus axed that line and merged the Zenfone line and ROG phone line and followed the ROG phones size. A phones however aren't flagship so theyd fail the check.

Here I am on my zenphone 10 wishing it was a little smaller

[–] Dudewitbow@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 days ago

hence why i kinda wanted to put "small" in emphasis, because small today isn't the same as small before. its still small enough that it can be used in one hand though, just on the edge of it. Almost everything else is larger than it.

[–] __nobodynowhere@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Still too damn big

[–] mesamunefire@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

6a is pretty good and will be supported for a bit. Wish they were more repairable though...

[–] KaRunChiy@fedia.io 1 points 3 days ago

Yep, just bought one the other day and it was about 1/8th" shorter than my previous phone

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The phone on the left is a pixel 7 pro.

So, yes, by modern standards.
But no, as you can see by the comparison to the phone next to it.
And that's kind of the point I'm making.

So, yes, by modern standards

My wife's P7 and my P8P are both roughly the same dimensions as an old landline handset would be (my phone is maybe half an inch thicker than the landline at my work)

Cell phones of the 00's were small by phone standards, modern phones are closer to old landline handset sizes than 00's cells, so I'd say the 00's cells are the ones off the standard

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 0 points 2 days ago

Do you carry a landline phone in your pocket whenever you leave the house?

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca -1 points 2 days ago

That's pretty clearly not the grievance I was complaining about, I'm pretty sure you're intentionally missing the point so that you can be contrary
