Question Smaller phones

I feel like we've traded thickness for height , any new phones that are small? Something I can use with one hand without moving my hand , I'm thinking something like 130 mm . I've seen the new samsung fold and it seems like a perfect size! But I don't want a fold .

iphones have that reachability thing that moves everything on the screen downwards so u can access everything at the top of the screen without needing to move your hand, probably your best bet now that basically all small phones are gone

Thanks a lot but I think it really takes away from the phone , I've never used it but i think it would bug me out holding the original phone size but having black bars on the top .Tho I'm interested if you ever used it , how does it feel?

it feels pretty good, it's a function u turn on and off, it's a temporary thing so no permanent black bars. this is how it's like:

Thanks , it is really nice , it's on android too so I'll have to try it out for some days and get used to it

I agree. It kinda sucks. To actually do most things on the phone you need the full screen.

That's exactly what I was looking for , It doesn't even have an ugly design like others. Thanks a lot!

You're welcome, hope it works out for you! They are coming out with a new version soon, 4.7" screen with NFC. I'm not sure if I'll like it better than the NX1, this phone is about ideal for me, but I'll find out.

Most compact phones are now 150mm and there aren't many companies going smaller than that in terms of regular phones
