The claim that 6-inch screens are not ideal for content is cope. People happily used sub-6-inch phones for years, and phones like the Zenfone 10 proved you can pack a capable camera, solid battery, and flagship Snapdragon in a compact frame. Manufacturers stopped making small phones not because it's technically impossible but because bigger phones sell for more and margins are thinner on compact flagships. If Sony can keep a compact line alive despite minimal market support, the other brands could too if they actually wanted to.

User surveys show that around 6.5" is the most popular

Umm, maybe that's because it's the most common display size?

🤦

I had an iPhone 5 back in the day and it was so comfortable to hold and use one handed. I miss when phones were that size.

As someone that used iPhones, their abandonment of the mini was the last straw.

ive been complaining about this for the last 6 years. the counter argument has always been "but content consumption! but battery! but big hands!"

listen. thats great and all.

i dont even want a phone to begin with. i have to have one to fit into society. the very least you could do is make it palletable.

I miss the old days when we had literal mini bricks in our pockets and not big flat tiles today.

Just bought a used xiaomi 13, i had enough of my tablet sized nothing phone...

A useful size for me starts at 6.7"
