Even if only one percent of people want smaller phones, with the huge volume of phones sold I don’t understand how that’s not enough to justify a healthy market.

It probably doesn't make sense to spend the time, money, and staff to develop/market a small phone for most of the manufacturers because the people that want a small phone will still buy a bigger phone if there isn't the option for a small one. They can spend less money and make the same number of sales.

Unfortunately, the same goes for headphone jacks, removable batteries, even sliding keyboards.

I really miss being able to find a phone with features I want.

Pretty much why I still use a Note 9. I've tried switching to other phones but keep going back to this phone.

Expandable storage was great for consumers but not the big corporations. They can charge much more for storage and keep their prices high for that reason.

As long as this phone works, I'll stick with it.
