@thatbrickster@shitposter.club Crazy how people think this is amazing now while this was the normal accepted size of a phone like 6 years ago.
@thatbrickster@shitposter.club My personal theory why smartphones are getting bigger is because the main market nowadays is boomers that otherwise have trouble operating such a small device with tiny text.
@thatbrickster@shitposter.club And also because for a lot of people a phone has become their primary or sometimes even their only device. Some people get rid of their PCs and just get using only a phone.
@thatbrickster@shitposter.club And yeah I'm in the same camp as you. I'm already on average using a desktop computer for 12 hours a day. I just a phone to be as small as possible to just have something to quickly read an email or text message on the go. I use my phone maybe 15 minutes a day in total.
@thatbrickster@shitposter.club I was daily driving my HTC Desire S from 2010 for a few months a while ago. It was comfortable as fuck because it only has a 3.2 inch screen.
Eventually I opted to get a more modern phone instead simply because providers in the Netherlands do not support 3G any more which made me unable to use it without WiFi nearby, other than that it was completely fine.
@thatbrickster@shitposter.club Currently I'm using a Fairphone 3, it's unfortunately too big for my liking, but the key selling point for this one for me is that it easily repairable, has 4G and official LineageOS support.
@thatbrickster@shitposter.club I dislike the Fairphone 4 because they took away the headphone jack.
@thatbrickster@shitposter.club And yes I also own a Pinephone but I don't dare to daily it.
@thatbrickster@shitposter.club Still like playing with it tho. Maybe one day.
@thatbrickster@shitposter.club I had a Mi phone before this as well and the USB port on it broke 3 fucking times after mere months of usage so after that I was kinda done with chinkphones.
@thatbrickster@shitposter.club Oh yeah I hate that too. I always like to use my phones without a case and Mi was the only phone I could not use without a case simply because the back was so smooth.
