"Compact"? No, not by any means.
I don't understand why all these OEMs copy all the dumb shit Apple does but they can't copy their truly compact phones...
People don't want small phones. All the people complaining about this on Reddit and here don't get that they are a very small minority of people.
I desperately miss my Nexus 6... It had a massive 6 inch, 16:9 screen. It was fucking PERFECT.
I will never stop being angry about this stupid move to longer, skinnier phones. The big versions should be BIG!
Strange because they buy small phones from Apple by the billions...
No they don't? The iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 13 mini were the worst performing phones out of their lineup. Small phones are dead because hardly anyone buys them.
Not sure if helenslunch means the standard iPhone 15, or the iPhone minis.
Even the iPhone 15 is a tiny bit smaller than the Pixel 8, but not by a wide margin

I would call it significantly smaller. And the P8 is a relatively "small" phone as Androids go.
The iPhone 15 is 147.6 height x 71.6 width x 7.8 depth (mm).
The Pixel 8 is 150.5 height x 70.8 width x 8.9 depth (mm)
I would call that pretty much the same size.
I can read, thanks. You're entitled to your (wrong) opinion 🙂
Thanks for clarifying!
The real answer is folding or rolling phones, but I've yet to see anything highly practical there yet...
I wasn't talking about the Mini.
Then which Apple phone are you talking about? The iPhone 15 is pretty much the same size as the Pixel 8. The iPhone SE is the only small phone Apple seems to make, and from what I can tell from a quick search, they aren't selling a lot of them.
No.
Very true
