Is there any good small Android phone?

I like the feeling of holding and using a phone in one hand. I am using a Pixel 5 right now, but it feels a bit too large for me. I know nobody makes phone that small like the iPhone 4S or the Samsung S3 mini anymore, but is there at least a phone smaller than the Pixel 5? Maybe around the size of a iPhone 12/13 mini?

EDIT: There is a small Android phone project in development for anyone interested: https://smallandroidphone.com/

You may want to take a look at the Xperia 10 series then. They are not as small, but they do have 3.5 mm jack and microSD card slot.

I've considered the Sony phones in the past but they're usually super expensive. The Moto G series used to be my go-to choice for a small-ish phone with the features I wanted but even that line of phones has grown. I ended up with a Moto One 5g Ace when I retired my Moto G6. If it's super expensive and tiny I have a hard time justifying the price.

yeah, great phone if you dont mind crap SoC for the price, crap camera, no 4K video, remote control aspect ratio and crap software updates

I think for that money I would rather buy Xiaomi 12 or deal with Pixel 6A size

I think it's more about picking and choosing what features you want. But I totally get you on the price, that's a big deciding factor for me.

Side note, software updates I'm not too worried about as long as there's a decent official or unofficial ROM of LineageOS for a phone.

Sony used to seriously fuck up camera if you installed custom ROM, not sure if they abandoned this user friendly practice
