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

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
