To help break my addiction I'm looking for a phone with good camera, basic apps like uber and email, but small enough that surfing the net isn't great and clash of clans is unusable. :) Any small phone recommendations?
- whitepoplar 8y agoI think the best phone you can get today, regardless of price, is the iPhone SE, even though it's not being sold by Apple anymore.
- andrepd 8y agoSadly iphones aren't an option. It disrespects my freedoms in pretty glaring ways.
- whitepoplar 8y agoHow so?
- Casseres 8y agoI don't know about the other commentor, but Apple is extremely against Right To Repair.
- sagichmal 8y agoIronically, the Apple phone ecosystem is the only viable option, if you care about data privacy.
- gear54rus 8y agohah! backed by what? empty promises of inherently "closed" company with a huge ego?
- endemic 8y agoI would argue that an Android phone without Google apps (e.g. LineageOS) is just as good; perhaps even superior, as you don't have to rely on an arbitrary gatekeeper in order to install software.
- bash-j 8y agoThe Palm phone will have a 3.3" screen. https://www.gsmarena.com/palm_palm-9290.php https://www.gsmarena.com/palm_palm-9290.php
- Splines 8y agoThat looks really interesting, but: 1.) It's Verizon only, 2.) It needs to be "paired" with an existing line, and 3.) It's $350. Fix (1) and (2), maybe (3) and then we're talking.
- seabrookmx 8y agoAgreed. I was so stoked about that little phone until I realized it was only being sold as a "companion" device. If they made a small phone like this with a fat battery (not because I'd use it a lot, but because hotspotting takes a fair bit of juice) I'd use it as my main phone. Then carry something like a Microsoft Surface or convertible Chromebook in my bag, which you can easily whip out if you need to use Google maps or something that favours a bigger screen. Seems like a no brainer when the traditional laptop category is going more portable with convertible form factors, and tablet are getting even better at productivity. But maybe I'm missing something :\
- nakedrobot2 8y agoAny very cheap phone on banggood
- gnomewascool 8y agoI think that using gsmarena[0] and filtering for height and any other specifications that you care about, is the best possibility. Obviously, once you've narrowed down, also read various reviews about the phones that are left. [0] https://www.gsmarena.com https://www.gsmarena.com
