Well, I'm not even asking for a true "mini" phone at this point, because we both know that would be asking too much. I just would just be happy with something like a 5.5-5.7" phone with a resolution that isn't insulting (looking at you Librem 5) and some halfway decent storage. If the Moto collab phone doesn't end up being viable for me due to size or other factors, I'll live. My current Pixel should be supported on GrapheneOS for a good while, so I can hold out. I've already moved to using a DAP for listening to music because I couldn't get a decent phone with a headphone jack anymore. Maybe one of the linux phones will be viable as a daily driver by then.

I mean that IS mini. The iPhone 13 mini, considered a tiny phone by most people, had a 5.4" screen.

I of course remember thinking my 5.0" Moto G (2nd gen) was a huuuge ass slab compared to my previous phone lol

I'll never forget carrying around my Galaxy Note 2 and this guy asked me if it played DVDs LOL

I got my Nexus One out the other day and it still booted. The screen is 3.7", it's hilarious that it felt like a large phone at the time.
