I get the appeal of small phones, but sheesh, you guys don't have a lot of options.
I must say that there are wayyyy too many upstarts with closed-source software and hardware. We should fund the likes of Framework, Fairphone, and Librem, and be done with it.
Who knows, fund them enough, and Fairphone/Librem will start making small phones as well. Framework could start making phones, but I digress.
I refuse to believe there isn't enough market to justify an even slightly smaller screen phone. Not everyone needs an almost 7" display, 5-6 would be still usable for the not instagram addicted.
The market is there, but the profit is not
I don't know, like there are low/mid or low tier phones I think they could easily do a cheaper, slightly smaller phone. But I guess people wants to pay ~€100 and still have 6,77"
