I love concept but the only thing that's keeping me from buying it is that it's too big. They don't make small phones anymore:( the last perfect model i had a chanc3 to have was huawei p10- a perfect 5.1 display

Yeah im still rocking ip13 mini, the last true flagship small phone. I was having such high hope for the 16e to be successor of 13 mini. But oh boy...

Indeed. But sadly, they don't update them. The Unihertz Jelly Star is stuck on the June 2023 (yes... 2 years ago!) Android security update.

I feel you. A repairable phone that's 5 inches would be so perfect. I miss my the Xperia X Compact so bad, I loved that phone, I had Lineage OS on it and it was great. It wasn't easy to repair though. Now I've got a Jelly Star, and it's pretty much the same problems, plus no updates in a while.

Yeah not ideal… then again… samsung actually pushed an update with an overlay that shows ads on some old models. I had one I used to show the forecast, attached to a wall. I had to reset and to factory and forbid all updates or ads would appear on top of my app.
