I don't know why phablets are a thing. Phones are too big imo.

I had a Motorola g power from 2020? I think? That's about the right size. I actually wish they could make a usable phone that's about the size of the bottom half of this one I'm using right now, but it would take some UI innovation which nobody is interested in. It's funny too because the bigger flagship phones are more expensive, but I'd never pay for that.

You might be interested in the unique looking designs on https://www.unihertz.com/ .

They've got some really tiny ones and some with physical keyboards even. I like the designs but dunno about their update commitment or hardware specs much.

This sounds almost perfect. I'm missing the option to install a custom ROM or as you said specs on support.

Installing custom ROMs on devices is still way too difficult. Recently tried to install divestOS on an old Oneplus phone and it is currently in brick hell. I followed the instructions. Unlocking is easy, rooting is still a massive PITA.

Thanks, these actually look really cool. I hadn't heard of this before.
