why does nobody make smartphones that are normal-sized anymore, i was considering getting the fairphone 5 which is a fairly standard-sized phone as it's coincidentally exactly the same size as my gf's phone, but i tried holding it in my hand and i viscerally HATE how BIG hers is
maybe i have relatively smaller hands but they're not THAT small do you all just live with being unable to reach the top of the screen with your thumb
i thought i was just assuming the worst, i didn't realise just how physically intolerable things would be
for context i was really unhappy when i had to replace my iphone se 1st gen (same form factor as the iphone 5/5s) with an iphone 7; i've learned to live with it buuut :(
if apple still made a phone with exact design of the original iphone se 1st gen i'd probably forget my convictions and just buy it anyway. they peaked there. everything about the physical design of the iphone se 2nd gen is a worsening to me
oh my god am i losing my mind do they really not make modern android phones with screen sizes smaller than 6 inches outside of japan
THEY DO BUT THEY WERE HIDDEN BECAUSE I WAS SEARCHING FOR PHONES THAT HAVE EXPANDABLE STORAGE AND THE ONLY NORMAL-SIZED PHONES ARE FLAGSHIPS THAT WANT TO EXTORT YOU FOR UNNECESSARY SOLDERED-ON STORAGE UPGRADES
i think we need to end industrial civilisation it's run its course
@hikari wait they do? what are they? even without expandable storage i'm curious
@cas i used 5g network support as my criteria for “modern”, but it's similar if you filter by a new android version instead
