I think the S23 is the perfect size, I wish that was the standard, with some larger ones for people who like that.
Currently in the process of switching to a degoogled OnePlus 5 which is only taking a long time because I'm having to find the right combo of system apps and replacements for googles apps which I've all but done.
Seriously if you're trying to make a google free phone try LineageOS microG. It's a spin on Lineage that gives you replacements for a lot of core apps like a location provider, and a load of other stuff you wouldn't realise wasn't in pure android.
Now all I need is a new battery and I have a FOSS( bar firmware, blobs, and magic earth, because no FOSS map app works well in the UK for me) phone.
But honesty I love this phone it's just the right size and it still has touch buttons for home, back, and recent apps instead of on screen ones( which I kinda hate). Paired with dual cameras and a gorgeous 1080p OLED display.
And you want to know the best part?
It only cost me ยฃ50!
Seriously if you're sick of modern phones and yern for the good old days this is a pretty great middle ground.
Have you tried Organic Maps?
It's been awesome for me and it's saved me in the mountains by finding gas stations without service.
Close to a no frills Google Maps experience.

Haven't thought of small phones in a while, unless you look into dumb phones, like Nokia 3310 reboot.
Great little phone, but does not have smart features that smart phones have.
Nice to see the sizes being compared, I was not expecting it, but wow have phone become huge.
I wonder if Pine64 or similar would create a small phone, they have launched phones before...
The PPP is still too far from being useful for me to think they could deliver a uzbl small phone
