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

      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.

        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

      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.
