Alright everyone, recommend me a small phone

You use Apple stuff and you don't know? The right size is Apple latest product's size >.>
Sorry if I don't have any suggestions, I don't care about phones, I'm using a second-hand one. Have a bump!

I am in the same situation. So, this post won't be any help :(

I am still using an iphone 4S. I have a 6S from someone that upgraded, but I never activated it because it's too big and too hard to hold with the thin rounded sides (I don't want to make it even bigger with a case). I have heard that the 4S will not work after this year because the service providers are not going to support 3G anymore, so I will have to upgrade. I was happy when I heard about the new SE and probably would have bought one, but they ruined it by making it thin like the other phones with the rounded sides and it has no headphone jack. I use wired earbuds with my phone multiple times every day. I don't want to have to deal with an adapter and I am definitely not going wireless.

Also, I don't care about Apple or Android, I am just using Apple because it was given to me for free.

Edit: I thought the new SE was the same size as the old one, I didn't realize it's actually the same size as the iphone 6. That's why they are claiming it's their most popular size. I would not buy a phone that big. I want something the size of the original SE.

I am now using an SE which has sadly started to die

What do you mean? The iPhone SE is an iPhone 6S in small size, powerful enough and still receiving iOS updates. If the battery is dying just replace it with a new one. AFAIK there aren't powerful Android phones on the market as small as the SE.

I'm currently using a Umidigi A5 Pro and I can't complain. It struggles with the heaviest games, but most games work perfectly fine and the phone is perfectly smooth as a whole. It has modern features such as fingerprint unlocking and triple camera, but retains essentials such as the headphone jack. It's not too big nor too small, it fits great in the pocket, and the screen is fantastic. The battery lasts a long time, especially by today's standards. And the best part, all of it for a more than fair price. Yes, it's a chinese brand, but who cares. The phone is great.

Interesting, I used a phone database looking for your specifics and the last phone released with your requirements ... was the SE in 2016. ;D

I fear you'll have to make compromises. You could insist on the size, but drop the touchscreen and you get some options.
Or you drop the headphone jack, and LG might have something for you.
Or you accept smartphones slightly bigger than the SE, and you get some few candidates.I recommend playing with the size limits for this last search, you might find something that pleases you.

no headphone jacks on these if you're willing to compromise, but samsung has the galaxy z flip, and the new motorola razr. both phones fold small, but open up to a normal size phone screen.

Samsung S10E is perfect. I own the S10 and its one amazing phone

Unboxing The World's Smallest Phone

I personally have Samsung S8 (got it just because it was half off without caring about anything else). I dont know about other phones much so I dont know what kind of sizes the new phones have - but S8 isnt really that wide. It has 5.8 inch screen but its only 1 cm wider then iphone SE. Its quit long but still narrow enough to fit comfortably in hand..

You have to get used to any new phone you get, but when handling other phones I find them to be overly wide and uncomfortable to handle with one hand.. You can get to some 80-90% of the screen with your thumb only on S8 (leaving only the upper taskbar a bit out of reach without moving the hand. And it has 3.5mm jack

Not the newest phone, but maybe S9 or S10 has the same build as S8 (narrow but long making it easy to use).. Cant help with new ones.. I wont probably be getting new phone unless I can again get it for half the price.. I find it ridiculous to pay anything more then 500 eur for something you use for calls and massaging mostly.. You basically overpay for needlessly powerful hardware that isnt used unless manufacturer rolls out a new update that renders it powerless

Apple just announced the new SE. It's a bit bigger, but really good value.

If you want an Android phone, I wouldn't go with anything other than Motorola or Google's Pixel. Most other brands don't provide OS updates for as long (except on their high-end phones maybe), they often install bloatware apps, which can be tricky to remove, and they make various changes to the default Android UI, which I always find to be inferior to the stock experience.

This might be the phone for you : https://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_xz2_compact-9082.php

Not the freshest but should satisfy most of your needs. You can also use the phone finder function on their website to further refine what you might need.

Out of curiosity, why do you want to put it in your pocket? Holsters are more secure and won't get your screen all scratched up by whatever else is in your pocket. I get not wanting a tablet-sized phone, though--neither did I, when I was looking for a new one. I did want something a bit bigger than I think you're asking for, though...

I got a Moto G7, which is about 6.5"x3.5" and strikes a good balance (for me) between being big enough to read what's on the screen and small enough to hold comfortably. The G7 Play is smaller (I think 6"X3"?). And yes, they have a headphone jack. That was one of my requirements, too. :)

Good luck! I hope you find something you can be happy with.

I am in the same boat, although instead of headphone jack, I want dual SIM with a separate dedicated micro SD card slot. Five inches was the cut-off point for that, but now it went up to over six inches. I have giant hands, but I just want a normal-sized smartphone, not a goddamn plate.
