why are they all so big?

tiger135

I cant find any low to mid range phones which are a nice size. 
The iphone 7/8/ se was a nice size, may be slightly weighty.
Androids, nothing, except really cheap alcatel which is no good for anyone.
I am tempted to go back to basic phone like nokia 110 4g but I chat to most people.on whatsapp now so it would be hard to get rid of that and go back to text.
all the other apps i would forget.
I still have an old moto g5 which is on its last legs but surprisingly still works ok.
any thoughts?

Isn't the iphone XE slightly smaller than the ones they bring out nowadays?

MikeJXE

I don't think there is an XE yet, reported to come out sometime 

The SE is smaller but also older

Maybe thats what I was thinking of then. Knew it was a slightly older model

I have both iPhone 12 mini and SE both have square edges which I prefer 

Comparing them 1 on top of the other 

The SE is about 5mm shorter and narrower than the mini 

I look after my phones, both in excellent condition and I have kept the SE as a spare just in case

I miss the days when everybody had Blackberry's. A great compact phone ahead of its time. Shame they died off.

You can blame that on Steve Jobs, he killed off every phone till they found a way to copy the iPhone

Its just annoying , I admit I got used to 5inch phones eventually but the 6.5 ones are just too big , especially if you have small hands.
Cant believe moto  nokia or samsung dont do any mini models anymore.
