My memory is from around 1998-1999 when I did some research to buy my first phone. From memory, I think that at that point Ericsson was winning that race in the more affordable end of the market, with models that I remember being smaller than Nokia models from the same time, such as: * https://www.gsmarena.com/ericsson_pf_768-108.php https://www.gsmarena.com/ericsson_pf_768-108.php * https://www.gsmarena.com/ericsson_t10s-115.php https://www.gsmarena.com/ericsson_t10s-115.php * https://www.gsmarena.com/ericsson_gf_788e-110.php https://www.gsmarena.com/ericsson_gf_788e-110.php And Motorola had the smallest/lightest phones at the premium end of the market, with the StarTAC line. * https://www.gsmarena.com/ericsson_gf_788e-110.php https://www.gsmarena.com/ericsson_gf_788e-110.php * https://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_startac_85-74.php https://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_startac_85-74.php In the end I realised that size was not the most important factor for me so instead I got a Motorola 8700 [1] which I didn't enjoy using, then sold it shortly after to get a Nokia 5110 [2] which I liked very much.
