I’m using a Sharp Aquos Wish from 2022, because it’s 5.8 inches tall. It just barely fits in my pocket, but honestly is a bit uncomfortable. I wish I had a phone about 5.5 inches tall. Ideally with the latest android OS, a good battery, and wireless charging.

NOTHING like that exists! The closest is maybe the Unihertz Jelly Max, which is Android 14 instead of 15, and doesn’t support wireless charging. It’s also made in China, and comes preinstalled with spyware.

I could use GrapheneOS if I got a Google Pixel, but Google doesn’t have a line of small phones. They even developed foldable phones so they could make a smaller foldable phone if they wanted, but instead they created the abomination that is the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, which is a gigantic 6 inch phone when folded, and unfolds into a tablet-sized device. For the love of god, WHY!???

The whole point of foldables was to make phones smaller, not make them twice as big! Who was responsible for this?

I don’t know what to do. At this point I think I may never upgrade my phone. I’ll be using my Sharp Aquos Wish 10 years from now, and then abandon phones entirely when the network stops servicing Android 11.

    I swear to god most people are NPC’s and they spawn into reality with a phone in their hand. These 6.5" and 7" phones don’t fit in pants pockets. Yet I don’t see any guys out there wearing fanny packs or carrying purses around with them like women. Where do they stick them? Are they all sticking their phones up their butts?

    No. They have to not be real. I am surrounded by millions of NPC’s. There can’t be that many people sticking their phones up their butts.

    You can downvote me, NPC’s. But I know what you are. You don’t exist in reality when I can’t see you. Like Agent Smith computer programs, you only exist in cyberspace when I’m not immediately nearby.

      Let’s play “where’s the Pixel 9 Pro XL in a case with a magsafe wallet attached”:

      I have a 6.8" Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ (overdue for an update), and it comfortably fits in my pants’ pockets. I don’t know what kind of tight pants or minuscule size you wear, but for most of us it’s a non-issue.

        Yeah, unless you have women’s pockets I’ve never had an issue with them not fitting in my pants.

          I’ve noticed that some pants I’ve tried (as a guy) didn’t have pockets comfortably sized for a modern smartphone. So I didn’t buy any of those.
