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

      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)

      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.

      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.

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