I think a lot of the reason phones are getting bigger is because of battery life. You can absolutely make a small phone with a big battery, but then it would be thicc and people (read plebs) don’t want little bricks, they want big slabs.
So for the few of us that want little bricks, we’re just entirely fucked. There are the Jelly phones, but they run Android, and I’d rather have a slab that spies on me a little less than a perfect brick filled to the brim with Google spyware.
I’m waiting and hoping and waiting and hoping that Linux phones get to the point where I can daily drive one.
I am in this camp- little brick with a replaceable battery because if I want to watch a show or play a game I'll use a different device. Absolutely no one caters to us. I would also pick a Linux phone if I could in that form factor but in the US there's not even a smattering of choice. To make a Linux phone work you'd need an emulation layer to make android apps work (I honestly don't know the state of Linux phones on this ) but without it you'd be using a windows phone with craptastic app support. That's what really killed WIndows phone. Lets keep hoping brother.
This is the only manufacturer I know of making modern little phones:

But they’re Android.
Those are actually really cool thanks!
