People keep saying those phones aren’t small without saying what size or current phone is small enough. The fact the base galaxy phone has shrunk from 6.2-6.3 inches is impressive enough IMO.
I was considering it, but a flip phone can’t run Signal and Threema, which have replaced SMS and calling in my friend group.
So currently I use a Unihertz Atom, which is actually perfect for me. When it kicks the bucket, I’ll replace it with a Jelly Star.
I always keep my phone in my front pocket and have never had a problem biking. Are you actively buying pants with tiny pockets? I only buy second hand clothes and have a few “female pants” with pockets that don’t fully fit huge phones and even with them it’s not a problem.
Maybe it’s improving. There are a few less famous brands making some small android phones. In a recent thread, someone mentioned unihertz, and I added cubot.
What if I want a phone that fits in my front pocket while riding a bike? What are my options then?
I can’t help with this.
Can’t you carry their phone?
I have two out of three. That’s good… right??
Car and backpack right? :p
Actually, it might be 3 out of 3, cause I do hope my car will make it over the winter.
A top tube bag is quite useful for that, i got one quite cheap on aliexpress when my phone started to get annoying to carry on a bike.

The irony that thies link leads to a not availiable item… I guess you where suggesting the Jelly Star?
Zenfone is pretty small and had tons of features
Why do people keep saying that? The Zenfone 10 is less than 3mm different from the Samsung Galaxy S23 and the iphone 15 in length and width.
Because it’s true…
It’s a touch smaller than the Galaxy S5, and significantly narrower, which is more important for typing one handed.
Being smaller than a typical 10 year old smartphone is pretty damn compact for a modern smartphone.
If you’re expecting to go back to the days of the iPhone 3GS or something, then you’re in a minority of a minority

Get a flip phone.
I was considering it, but a flip phone can’t run Signal and Threema, which have replaced SMS and calling in my friend group.

They were probably referring to a flip smartphone, which can indeed run Signal and Threema.
The galaxy Z flip, fold, pixel fold, razr plus, find flip, or magic v?

Could be a woman. I just assume their sports gear suffers the same problem as most of their normal clothes: small, fake, or non-existant pockets.

Yep, those are the 2 options currently.

Big pockets.
Saddle bag
There are more small phones than big phones. I want an iPad mini-sized phone and there’s virtually 0 options.
Name three phones with Android 12+ and <130mm length, then.
(Please?)
Name one modern phone >= the size of the legendary Sony Z Ultra.
