I've heard this one mentioned a few times on r/smallphones. The price is certainly right, as is the size. I wonder if this has a headphone jack.

This sounds wonderful! I'm not sure if their own system would be accessible or if it has a built-in screen reader, but certainly, I could use the Android portion of it, and the size is excellent!
(This commentary is the same that I posted to Reddit in reply to a post with a video on the subject.)

The specifications sound excellent, particularly regarding the size and the physical keyboard. But my main question is will it come with Talkback, or will there be a way to install it and other things, such as Seeing AI, a browser and an mp3 player? Some of us want a keyboard but also full functionality!

I live in America and am on Mint Mobile. I am totally blind and use an external keyboard. I own a Galaxy A15, and while it works well, it's simply too large and wide for my needs, especially when I need to hold it to use Seeing AI (for scanning printed materials). My specifications shouldn't be too difficult to find, and yet, they are.

Android 14 or 15. Technically, I can go as low as 12, but I would really rather not.
Upgradable if possible.
Comes with Talkback pre-installed (or able to have someone install it). I have also heard of MicroG, an alternative to Google services that allows such apps to be installed, so that could work as well.
No larger than the iPhone SE 2022, unless by a tiny amount. Smaller is fine.
Headphone jack.

I am considering the Jelly Max, the Fonepia Q10, and the Minimal Phone. Has anyone here tried any of these in the United States? I don't think the Max has a headphone jack, but as much as I want one, I would be willing to sacrifice it if necessary. I know almost nothing about the Q10. The Minimal contains a real qwerty keyboard, so I wouldn't need to carry one. I don't care what they do with the screen, since I can't see it.

Am I missing any other good phones? I would like to keep this undder $350 at the most, preferably under $300 (Minimal might cost more, but could be worth it).

Bluefox NX1 global edition goes up for pre-order for $99 (Smartphone with a 4 inch display)

The Bluefox NX1 is a budget smartphone with something you don’t see very often on other modern phones: a small screen. It has a 4 inch, 1168 x 540 pixel IPS LCD display and a body that measures 100.6 x 39.4 x 12.5mm and weighs just 106 grams, making it smaller and lighter than most phones on the market today.

After launching in China earlier this year, the Bluefox NX1 is now available for […]

I don't want
-Tablets disguised as phones
-Phones that you wear on your face
-Phones that don't fit on bike handlebars

I literally just want a small phone like the kind we had not that long ago. Remember the iPhone 5? The Sony XZ1 Compact? Can we just do that again?

Shame... I almost got the Zenfone 8 but after testing it at the shops, I didn't like how hot it got in my hand. I love small flagships and having a 3.5mm headphone jack is a rarity. #asus #zenfone #asuszenfone #smallphones #android
