If you make it all, and in a small frame, I'm buying right away.

I bought this a few days ago and it arrives next week: https://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_10_iv-11522.php.

It's not iPhone or Zenfone small and it's only midrange spec but it's pretty compact. Plus SD card slot, 3.5mm jack...

Its a bit funny how I find that model to be too big. People like me have definitely been abandoned from the market.

But thanks for the recommendation. I ended up grabbing an older model that still works as a low end phone, but I wonder for how long I will be able to use older phones...

It's definitely larger than I'd like but damned if the manufacturers haven't heard our demands and realised that, once again, compactness is a premium feature. You can get an itty bitty iPhone or S23 but fuck all in the mid range. Thanks again, The Market!
