I like the feeling of holding and using a phone in one hand. I am using a Pixel 5 right now, but it feels a bit too large for me. I know nobody makes phone that small like the iPhone 4S or the Samsung S3 mini anymore, but is there at least a phone smaller than the Pixel 5? Maybe around the size of a iPhone 12/13 mini?

EDIT: There is a small Android phone project in development for anyone interested: https://smallandroidphone.com/

NOT Pixel 7! I got one because the Pixel 7 Pro was gigantic, but it's just such a mediocre phone and totally not worth what they charge for it.

Sony Xperia 10V or Shiny Xperia 5IV or Sony Xperia 1V

If you can wait a couple of days, the ZenFone 10 is launching soon.

S23 is perfect for me size wise, and the fingerprint reader is way better than the pixel phones. There a few minor pixel native features that I miss, but I overall really happy with S23 and love that my hand doesn't hurt anymore from using a large phone.

There's a Japanese company who released a quirky 4.9 inch Android phone last year but AFAIK it's only available in Japan.

Maybe import that one?

Edit: Mr Mobile did a review too: https://youtu.be/Tx6GqiSipy8

I'm running pixel 4a for this reason (also the support for grapheneos)
