Pixel phones have been too big for me for a while. They won't fit in my pockets comfortably and I don't want to have to stretch to reach the top of the screen. Come out with something 5.75" tall or less and I'll re-engage.

Yes. My Zenfone 8 is "small" but I want it even more compact. My old Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact is the perfect size!

Yes, I am still on my pixel 5 for that reason but I really need a new one

I held on to mine for so long, but after they stopped getting updates, I bailed since the S22 wasn't massively larger.

Yes, nur then there is so much Samsung stuff on it. Maybe I'll have to do it like you and modify it then

It's pretty easy to strip most of it off. It's definitely an adjustment, but I got used to it (the remaining things I couldn't change) pretty quickly

What are you using now?

Galaxy S22 with Nova launcher getting rid of the Samsung UI and making it note pixel-like.

You might be interested in finding an alternative to Nova, they got aquired a couple years ago

You can still lock down privacy stuff to a fair degree. I'm keeping an eye on it
