Why phones are so huge nowadays? How are you people carrying them? Oh how I wish for a compact sized phone, something like iPhone 13 mini, but with USB-C connector. And those camera bumps, don't get me started on those. If you cannot fit camera into phone, why not make whole device a bit thicker.

People are not buying small phones.

If you want a small phone, the best thing are flip-phones, there is tons of them now.

How can one buy what is not being manufactured?

The few small-ish phones that have existed have mostly been cheap and underpowered.

I would say that for last years it was quite the opposite… Asus Zenfone was a bit smaller, and few others… all of them being on the more pricey range. I do not remember anything <€500 worth buying…

I remember having few years ago phone from "Note" series… and yet - it was smaller than "normal" nowadays.
