Next Pinephone should be smaller (imho)
#1
Lightbulb 
My Pinephone fell on the floor and have a minor crack in the screen. Luckily both the digitizer and the display still work fine.

I never had that before with smaller phones (and each of my previous smartphones fell on hard floor at least few times).


Thing is, I always bought the smallest decent phone I could find, and that every generation is a bit bigger. I made an exception for the Pinephone because of the concept.




A smaller phone:

  • fits in more pockets
  • get less bending pressure in pockets
  • is less lickely to crack because of less weight
  • requires a smaller -> cheaper screen
  • requires less power to light the screen, thus a smaller battery or can last longer
  • takes less space on desks etc


Now I'm wondering, do people here actually like to have a so big device? Or is it in imitation of market trends?
