I am desperately looking for a small phone compatible with a privacy friendly OS, best would be if the phone is not too old, lets say Less than 3 years.
I had a pixel 5 with graphene. Its Brocken and to be honest it was already too big for my small hands.
Usually phones with a width less than 70mm are considered easy to use with one Hand -even with small hands. I dont need a big screen at all since i have good eyes and use small fonts.
E.g. the unihertz jelly max seems perfect but i didnt find an easy way to put a privacy friendly OS.
On the other Hand looking at the supported devices oft graphene/ callyx and e/OS not a single one seems to offer ONE small phone.
Are there people here with the same Problem? Whats your solution?
I See 2 options for me: either i get a cheap (second Hand) big phone and hope that there will be smaller phones again in the near future. or i give up on using phones with one Hand and get a fairphone or pixel (second hand) again… What do you think is better? The Option to compromise in privacy is not an Option for me.
The pixel 8a is slightly narrower than the pixel 5 (~1mm) and shorter (~4mm), so that could be a replacement, the 7a has similar physical dimensions to the 8a if you want something used/cheaper.
And the 9a is speculated to be released around March, so Graphene is sure to be close behind whenever it drops (if they need to adjust anything at all).
