    I’m not sure if I’m going full Luddite but phones are getting way too damn big.

    6.7" is insane. My own phone is a 6 in 18:9 screen and it’s too big. (I did not get a choice in my phone purchase at the time).

      That’s understandable. I’ve long been a critic of how non-customizeable phones are. I actually prefer big phones, as my eyes are bad, but different people have different needs, and it should be trivial to adjust phones accordingly.

        True but there aren’t that many compact phones. And the phones that are being advertised as compact used to be the normal size. I’m genuinely considering getting a Zinwa Q25 or Q27, which is a gutted blackberry.

      It does suck for you guys that there are few options, but I like a huge phone personally. I remember back when I got a Galaxy Note 3 it was a revelation, but now it has become the default.

        I feel like I’m getting gaslit with the “this is a compact phone guys” knowing full well that is a normal sized current gen (or last gen) phone that most phone manufacturers are selling.
