    Bad summary. TL;DR:

    • Almost all phones used to be a lot smaller than the smallest phones today
    • Today’s “small” phones are basically all the same size as the standard Apple and Samsung models. There’s nothing smaller.
    • Sony and Google’s phones are honkin big.
    • Folding phones are really honkin big unfolded, so if you have small hands, you’re screwed unless you never open them.
    • Unihertz makes shitty small phones for people who aren’t very picky.
    • Small Android Phone, a project started by the former founder of Pebble, is struggling to source a display smaller than the current Apple and Samsung flagships. The best candidates are a folding phone cover screen and refurbished iPhone Mini screens.
    • Small Android Phone is concerned that their window of opportunity is closing and many small phone lovers will move to larger phones before they can launch.
    • The author, a current small phone lover and recovering physical keyboard addict, was bamboozled into buying a Z Flip on sale. It is both thick and very large when unfolded, and will likely end in tears.
    • “AI” summarizers are literal garbage that will make you miss very important details in any stories you trust them to read for you.
