I don’t get why you’d want a smaller phone unless you’re looking to get one in a flip-phone style form factor. I’d be down for that. I miss being able to accurately text from my pocket.

Have you heard of women? Or maybe teenagers with not-so-large hands?

Most larger phones have a single-hand mode that gives you kind of a picture-in-picture of the screen itself.

Are you stupid…? You still have to hold the phone in one hand. One-handed mode doesn’t change the physical width of the phone.

Being able to hold the phone comfortably and securely in your hand is really important for me. I’d love to be able to reach the vast majority of the screen without having to shuffle the phone in my hand or use two hands. I very rarely watch any videos on my phone, or play any games that require a large screen.

My wifes iPhone 12 Mini is a perfect size.

One-handed mode exists if you need to reach the whole area of the interface with one hand, albeit it won’t help if grip is an issue. Maybe a pop socket kinda thing for that?

Because I don’t want this giant thing in my pocket that’s also hard to hold, let alone use one handed.

Using one handed isn’t really an issue if you toggle the one-handed mode…

Galaxy S3 was comfortable to chat and surf. One or two words less per line but it fit in your pocket and your hand didn’t get tired from the weight.

I went S2 -> S5 -> S8+ -> Note 10+ -> S23 Ultra

Never really felt my phone was too big, though there are times where I’ve got a show to go to and wish I had a cheap flip phone to fall back on. The older phones seemed fine at the time until I realized how much better the bigger screens were. I’m not sure I’d want one bigger than the S23 Ultra, unless it folded out to a tablet.
