The 5-inch format seems interesting, curious to see what other people think

    The 4000 mAh battery is probably a contributing factor. I’d probably buy this with a smaller battery, assuming the bootloader is easily unlockable.

    Wait… there’s no headphone jack? Alright, keeping my Pixel 4a for another year.

        That’s only “tiny” because phones today are huge. The Pixel 4a, which passes for small today at 144x69mm has a 3140 mAh battery.

        The Jelly Max is 129x63mm, smaller than the iPhone 12 Mini’s 132x64mm. That phone has a 2227 mAh battery.

      Pixel 9 is supposed to be 6". This is the “correct” size IMO.

      Pixel 4a is not getting security updates so I’d probably move on ASAP if I were you.

        I don’t think there’s a single correct size for a phone. Different people want different things; many want huge phones with screens over 7" while some of us think the Pixel 4a is too big.

        My phone got an update on July 18. LineageOS is great.

          Yes, I’m aware, that’s why “correct” was in quotes. That’s my personal opinion.
