    So tired of this.

    You ppl are a minority. Nobody wants a fucking 5 inch phone. Friggin let it go, the industry moved on. Go cry to the ppl who wanted the headphone jack to hang around.

    Personally, I know zero people that want this IRL. They are all pumping their chest out about who’s got the bigger, nicer screen size. The very idea that most people want a “small phone” is absolutely not true.

    I do think folks that want them should have the option BUT THEY DON’T after YEARS of crying about it. It’s over. They are not catering to your desires.

    Let it go and get on with life. Fuck. You keep crying about it, and I’ll keep reminding you.

    It ain’t happening.

      Yea, sounds like everyone you know is a tool. I don’t know anyone who behaves like this, it’s juvenile.

      I agree with you except the headphone jack part. My Bluetooth headset is great, but losing the convenience of using a non-battery device and not worrying about the battery life really is a great loss. I’m so glad my steam deck and switch have a headphone jack.

        I mean, the loss of the headphone jack was a downgrade for no reason beyond profits. Big screens were a tradeoff made on purpose because customers demanded it.

        There is no convenience with a headphone jack in 2024. Let it go my god.

        Idk what phone you’re using but if BT is a drag on your every day life and your phone battery, holy shit you got bigger problems.

        This ain’t 2015 where BT was a battery hog and shitty connection issues. Times have changed. Hardware has changed. Software has changed. Your argument no longer holds any weight in a conversation about convenience.

        I have to charge my headphones for 25 mins for every 6 hrs of usage?? Reeeeeeee

          Much as I like Bluetooth, it’s another thing to charge, has lower sound quality than wired unless you can afford LDAC, and other technical and real life reasons it seems your low quality privileged ass can’t comprehend.

          Read a book, truly embarrassing to read how you think.

      I just want a phone that I can use with one hand and not fucking drop the thing trying to type something on the other side of the screen.

        No. You’re not getting a fucking tiny phone you can use your damn thumb to do everything with. Deal with it. Because that is fucking stupid.

        Want one hand operation? Too bad. They don’t make phones that cater to that dumb ass requirement. Because nobody wants to use their device like that. The screen size of a phone like that isn’t enjoyable to most people. Get it?

        These are multimedia hand held devices. Not a fucking pager. God forbid you have to use your other hand to use these things. The horror…

          Wow, what a low-quality take. See if your doctor can prescribe something to spontaneously regenerate some brain cells so you can imagine:

          • carrying a shopping bag in one hand and trying to see where to take it thanks to the smaller phone in the other
          • holding the brake lever on your bicycle and entering a new address
          • smaller screens mean less illumination area, meaning longer battery life
          • smaller screens costing less to produce, thus cheaper phones

          Gotta suck to be so unimaginative lol.

      What are you on about? Just because someone is in a minority doesn’t mean their preferences or desires are invalid. Infeasible maybe, but not invalid. There are all sorts of products made for people in a minority of some kind. I can’t imagine left handed versions of common right handed objects are an extremely lucrative market, but there are products that exist for those minorities.

      Plus it’s not like minorities or majorities are ever static, things evolve and change over time. If no one ever voiced an opinion, how would anything ever change?

      You can keep crying about people stating a preference, and I’ll be sure to keep reminding you they are as free say what they want as you are.

        And you can keep crying about phones not being the size of a box of tic tacs. Let’s see who’s argument plays out in the end. You’re not getting a damn 5 inch phone. Ever.

        Reply again with that nonsense, I’ll remind you of it again.

        Over and over and over. Because if you ppl wanna keep bringing it up, I’ll oblige and keep shooting you down because it’s absurd to limit a device to that size.

        If they offer the option, kewl. But guess what - they won’t.

            This is your daily reminder that tiny phones don’t and will not ever exist again. Thanks, bub-bye.
