most importantly their design looked bad/aged already at the time of release, let alone many years later when you have beautiful EVs from Porsche, Xiaomi or Hyundai available
phone size has nothing to do with camera quality (in the current market, only in the theory), the best android camera phones are the smallest pixels, every other brand has worse cameras and bigger dimensions
The iPhone pro max cameras offer more physical options that I actually take advantage of, so it’s a true statement for me.
I agree that phone size doesn’t have to correlate to picture quality, but that’s how many of the manufacturers position their cameras - bigger phones get the more capable cameras.
I find it amusing the author with OnePlus 5T is looking for small phone since 5T was never a small phone even back in the days, so when there were much more small phones available author clearly didn't care and chose big phone - 156.1 x 75 x 7.3 mm, but suddenly now 9 years later when there are almost none small phone he requires significantly smaller phone.
> Size. I've always felt like my OnePlus 5T was slightly too wide to use in one hand, so if my next phone was a little narrower, that would be great. Certainly I wouldn't want to get something larger.
You can certainly buy plenty of phones which are narrower than 75mm other than S24 /S25 and Xiaomi 15, but you can't really buy small phones anymore.
I just upgraded last year from Honor 10 (149.6 x 71.2 x 7.7 mm) to Pixel 6a (152.2 x 71.8 x 8.9 mm), basically the same width and it's funny screen:body ratio in Pixel 6a is better than following generations and hardly newest models finally match it again with hardly any improvement.
Btw. author is wrong Xiaomi phones are nowadays extremely difficult to root/unlock bootloader, so your only options are pretty much Samsung S series with bad slow camera or Pixels infamous for their battery/display issues in almost every generation. Sony phones have even worse camera than Samsung and let's better not talk about the value for money.
Stopped caring about them when they cancelled their 1TB free storage after 5 years, company which can't be trusted long term with your data. Plus the UI was horrible anyway.
Terence Chi-Shen Tao FAA FRS (born 17 July 1975) is an Australian and American mathematician. He is a Fields medalist and a professor of mathematics at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where he holds the James and Carol Collins Chair in the College of Letters and Sciences. His research includes topics in harmonic analysis, partial differential equations, algebraic combinatorics, arithmetic combinatorics, geometric combinatorics, probability theory, compressed sensing, analytic number theory and the applications of artificial intelligence in mathematics.[4][5]

A child prodigy,[18] Terence Tao skipped five grades.[19][20] Tao exhibited extraordinary mathematical abilities from an early age, attending university-level mathematics courses at the age of 9. He is one of only three children in the history of the Johns Hopkins Study of Exceptional Talent program to have achieved a score of 700 or greater on the SAT math section while just eight years old; Tao scored a 760.[21] Julian Stanley, Director of the Study of Mathematically Precocious Youth, stated that Tao had the greatest mathematical reasoning ability he had found in years of intensive searching.[7][22]
