I cannot ever buy any Motorola phones anymore because I legitimately fear they will not fit into my pocket anymore. This is a rant, but I am so sad. Motorolas were my go-to Android phones in times of the G4. But now, every new phone is >6.6". And I don't get it. I mean, I know, most manufacturers are going a similar (but IMO not this aggressive) route. But why? I already have a laptop. I want a mobile phone. And I want to use one hand to use it. And it should fit into my pocket.
I just am so confused about this development. Rant over.

- amunozo 2y agoEven if here we forget about it, most people use mainly or only their phone. Young people nowadays are not even proficient with PCs or laptops anymore. I want a small phone too. My SO has an iPhone 11 mini and the size is amazing, but there are no Android phones with a similar size.

- aruggirello 2y agoGoogle Pixel 4 or 5 was (and still is!!!) peak Android, it seems. It's becoming more and more difficult to get your hands on a refurbished one, though. The only other brand still producing reasonably sized phones is Samsung - but modern Samsung phones are drowning in bloatware, and rooting them is unnecessarily complicated.
