There is at least the Unihertz Jellystar, which is a fairly nice tiny phone. Personally I’m likely stuck with Pixel phones because I’m a big fan of Graphene OS, otherwise I’d likely pick one up after my Pixel 4a fails, which might be awhile, since it’s still going strong.

Fucking awesome phone. Been my daily driver for a week now.

Typing is horrible, tough, and for anything serious (browsing, streaming…) you will want a bigger screen and general more build quality. Camera, sound quality, screen are all screaming low end.

Super fast charging because the battery is tiny, sill good SOT because the screen is tiny too.

Feels damn good to be able to use and hold your phone one handed in almost any orientation you can hold your arm in.

Keyboard: AnySoftKey and a Compact layout (2 keys, 1 button) is very helpful.

Have you heard of thumb-key keyboard? It’s basically a 3x3 grid with swipe gestures for extra characters. I’ve been trying to switch to it for a bit cause I think eventually my typing will be faster and it will be a better one handed typing experience.

Anyway, I think this would work well on a small screen device too, if you can get used to a whole new keyboard paradigm.

It’s on the IzzyOnDroid repo for f-droid.

Hope this is helpful to someone!
