I have still have a iPhone 4/S for this exact reason. Surely given the huge competetion in this market one supplier would think there is a viable niche in going small.
- simonh 10y agoI think they just don't have the tech. Really. Android is a battery hog compared to iOS and the chips aren't as efficient either, so an Android phone the size of a 5SE would have unacceptably short battery life or would have to use an old CPU with a lower power draw but that just wouldn't be competitive. I just don't think the engineering works out well for them, otherwise somebody would be doing it.
- danieltillett 10y agoI would be willing to live with shorter battery life provided the size was good. I would think the power drain could be controlled by undervolting the chip on demand along with the benefit of a smaller screen. I would be happy to live with a slower CPU most of the time provided I could increase it as needed.
