▲ 724 ▼ I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand (lemmy.ca) submitted 1 year ago by PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca to c/lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world 284 comments fedilink hide all child comments I know I have small hands but c'mon. Flagship phones these days are strait up small tablets, not even what we'd have called on phablets 15 years ago. I know it's what people buy, but I'm still sad that if I want a phone that small then I have to deal with camera and display a couple gens old
[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca [S] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children) The phone you see on that left is a pixel 7 pro. Is the pixel 9 pro much smaller than that? Because I wouldn't call the pixel 7 pro "small" permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Anivia@feddit.org 5 points 1 year ago (2 children) Yes, the Pixel 7 Pro was when Google still only had 2 models, the big pro model and the small non-pro model. With the Pixel 9 series there are 3 options, the budget pixel 9, which is a small phone, the Pixel 9 Pro, which is a flagship but the same size as the small Pixel 9,or the Pixel 9 Pro XL, which is the big version of the flagship Pixel 9 Pro. So you no longer need to compromise if you want a small Pixel phone permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Sidyctism2@discuss.tchncs.de 1 point 1 year ago isnt the pixel 7a the budget pixel 7? permalink fedilink source parent [–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca [S] 1 point 1 year ago Oh the p9, p9p, and p9a is the same size as the p7a. Nice! Still a bit large but still a great improvement on the p7p permalink fedilink source parent [–] RogueAozame@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago* I actually went from a 7 pro to a 9 pro, and while Idk if its small enough for you it is a massive change in usability for me. I disliked the 7 it was usable but annoying at times to reach stuff I almost never have that issue with the 9 pro. permalink fedilink source parent
