Non massive phones

Looking for recommendations for a good phone that isn't huge. I currently have a Oneplus 8 and while it's a decent phone I find it just that bit too large to be able to use one handed. I was looking at my nephew's iPhone 12 and that is around the size I want but don't want an iPhone!

My S10 is a nice size, I believe the normal S22 or whatever the latest one is the same size.

It's been a very good phone!

Got my wife an Asus ZenFone 8. Smallest phone (5.9" screen) with good specs we could find when we looked just before Christmas.

Feels a solid piece of kit and has just been upgraded to Android 12 (although knowing how good she is at ignoring updates it could have been ready a while).

Was looking at the S22 as got £200 off if you trade in any damaged phone! Reviews say poor battery life though.

Ah thats a shame as I will probably end up with one when this one dies. My battery always lasts a full day which is more than enough for me.

Wonder if the new one being more powerful depletes it quicker, I guess it won't be a massively improved battery with it being the same size.

A 5 incher is about the right size, that's what she said. I kind of regret my A40 dying.

Pixel 5

Cracking phone, amazing camera, not too big, stunning battery life, doesn't cost £1000+

Also no longer manufactured, which is a shame as I love my 5.

Maybe but they are well documented as having serious problems with iDrive in BMWs as mine did.

A friend has a Pixel 6 and it's huge

I thought it was the max (if that's what the big one is called) but it's just the 'normal' one 😮

I'm sold on the size of my iPhone 13 mini (5.4inch screen). My full size 13 work was home just seems unnecessarily big and clumsy to use now

Do you get used to the notch? That's what's putting me off, I look at my nephew's and it's the first thin my eye is drawn to, I agree it's the ideal size though.

i've had an iPhone X from the day it came out so I'm used to it. The only time it's noticeable is On Facebook marketplace where the photos default to the very top of the screen.
