I just mentioned this in a comment, but thought it might be helpful for a larger audience. I’m not affiliated with these people, but I would really really like a smaller Android phone. They also seem motivated to try and make something happen.
Might want to look into Unihertz. Specifically: https://www.unihertz.com/products/jelly-star
3 inch screen.
Cool, I didn’t know that existed.
But honestly, I want something like a 4-5" screen, what used to be normal, it would actually be a hand-sized device.
The unihertz Titan slim has a 4.2" screen, but the body is larger because of the physical qwerty keyboard.
I own the Titan Slim. I have an odd need for the physical keyboard.
I would be wary. I bought a Jelly 2, and the wifi range was about ten feet. If I left the room my router was in, no wifi. I contacted Unihertz, and they took forever to get back to me, and told me to ship it to them (my cost) and if they found a problem, they’d ship me a new one (again, my cost), and if they didn’t find a problem, I could pay to have my old one shipped back.
Screw that. It’s now a teeny tiny paperweight.
I am now rocking a Mode 1 Retro II.
Not bad, but now my classmates call me “Flip phone”.
I own a Jelly 2 and really like it to play around with. However, I find it too small as a daily driver, when I tried that for two weeks. Due to the small size, it is also really bulky, so instead of a tablet, you have a bump in your pocket. For me, the perfect size is around 4,5-5" (minus the keyboard of the titan slim). The Tank Mini 1 has a good screen size, but again is really thick.
Thanks for sharing. Looking at a few of their various models and at the very least it looks like they’re doing something different
I’d forgotten about that, I remembered their initial pitch was “It’s your second phone so you don’t have to take your first phone out of your pocket all of the time.”
I know this was linked for the small phones but that Tank 2 looks like a real nice phone.
