Unfortunately this still hasn't happened yet. There are almost no good options for reasonable size Androids anymore. Zenfone 10 is pretty good, especially with the headphone jack, but it's already out of print and will be obsolete before long. And smaller would be nicer. Any other current gen recommendations?

Zenfone 10 isn't even small; it's 2.5 mm narrower than an S25.

Unihertz JellyStar. Has a headphone jack too.

  3" sounds like a novelty, but the Jelly Max seems a bit more reasonable at 5". Cool company.

  I tried with a Jelly Max but despite what they say it doesn't work on verizon :(. It's the perfect phone for me otherwise.

I had to make this decision yesterday and picked Galaxy S25. A lot lighter than my work Pixel 9.

  Seconded. Unfortunately the latest leaks suggest that the next gen - S26 - will be a bit bigger. https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-s26-screen-sizes-edge-3577087 https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-s26-screen-s...

blackview n6000. Bombproof. Cheap. Almost a week's battery life.

People recommending Zenfone just proves that marketing works on a lot of people. It's literally only a few mm smaller than a standard flagship samsung and yet the small phone crowd recommends it as if it's tiny

  A few mm smaller is the best we can get. Also don't forget to account for case to protect that beautiful glossy slippery fragile back of your Samsung phone. ZF doesn't need any case.

I went through the same process as a former Pixel 5 user. Ended up with Galaxy S25 which weighs around 165g. I pretty much hate Samsung for the One UI interface taking away the stock Android experience. If I could turn it all off I'd do it in a heartbeat. But I put up with it because there is no other Android phone in 2025 that meets all the checkboxes (less than ~180g, supports all the current LTE and 5G comms, supported by the vendor).
