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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

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

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

It's 5.75" tall, so no. It's as big as I want to go. I'd love something a bit smaller to be sure

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

It's the smallest option, so doesn't really matter.
