The best sized phone ever.

Steve Jobs called the first release of the iPhone with its 3.5" screen, "the perfect size for human hands".

Say what you want about Steve's other claims, he was probably fairly right on that one. Humans have opposable thumbs and the average range of said thumbs when touching something cradled in the palm without external movement is about 3-4 inches.

And yet I'm typing this on a "moderate" sized Samsung A71, and to tap something on the top of the screen I need to use my other hand or shift the phone downwards in my grasp to do so.

I still have mine on my desk but it has a screen issue so it's unusable. I still pick it up just to feel it. It's just so good in the hand.

My son has the 4a and it's a great phone. Same size as the Pixel 5 too.

Add a screen protector - it can hide the scratches.

Nexus 5 was a good size for me, this 4a is too big to be comfortable. If rather have the bezels back, too. Much easier to use without 100% screen coverage.

S23 will cut your palm with its sharp edges though

I just don't get on with Samsung devices. The software bloat ruins their great hardware for me. That's an amazing looking phone though.

Nice. And with Lineage its fast, root and add Kernel Adiutor to really tweak both performance and battery life.
