My Pixel 5 is small, do they not make a small one anymore? In inches it's about 3" across and 5.5" long.
I want the opposite: a foldable with a 10" inner screen, thinner or as thin as the Fold 7, but with no comically large camera bump (and without sacrificing image quality).
Also a microSD slot, two day battery life, seven years of updates, and front cameras hidden under the screens (going back to to the hole punch was the dumbest decision Samsung has ever made.)
But most importantly of all: an unlocked bootloader.
youre smoking crack
Don't even have to update it. Just open source the device tree etc and I'll make the effort to port LineageOS myself.
The fairphone is not getting updates.
They are months behind, and many phones they should be updating to this day run extremely EOF software
I miss my Droid Mini. :(
Wouldn't Moto Razr and Samsung Flip both fall into that space?
This is likely to be different for every person, so no judgements, but I don't think a flip phone can ever qualify as "compact."
I'm confused then.
Moto Razr (again when closed) is substantially smaller than Jellymax at its largest dimension (88mm for Moto vs 128mm for Jellymax)
What is the criteria here for a "compact phone" then?
It depends on why you want a compact phone. If it's to fit into small pockets then the flip phones do great, but if it's because modern phones are too large to comfortably hold and use for your hands, or because you want a smaller screen (for less distraction or for better battery life) then the flip phones are pretty bad.
Small enough to hold in hand and small screen like this?
I don't know, but it's closer to the one on the right
I don’t know, but it’s closer to the one on the right
So that one on the right looks like the Razr V3 (circa 2004) with the dimensions of 98 x 53 x 13.9 mm. By that measure the Jellymax you're labeling as a "compact" phone doesn't qualify as compact as it has a significantly larger largest dimension and total volume that either the modern android Razr or the 2004 Razr.
So I'm still confused what you definition of compact is for a phone, but you and others here clearly know what you want even if I can't figure it out. I'll leave you to it.
Not an Apple fan but their SE gets updates for a good amount of time, about 1cm bigger length and width than their first SE but it might fit your criteria.
Samsung Flip is a compact clamshell that becomes a regular sized phone.
The ASUS Zenphone 10 is on the smaller size but barely qualifies as a small phone so up to you, expecting updates to 2027.
Phones are too big. We've come to accept that 6" phones are normal, and we're mis-sized. But just a few years ago, people hated big phones. We complained that they were uncomfortable to hold, didn't fit in our pockets, and that these phones were "clumsily oversized." Now big phones are all you can buy. Why? Did everyone's hands and pockets get magically bigger? Are phones big because manufacturers want us to drop them?
Whatever the reason, we know what we want: We want small phones!
