Why can't we go back to small phones? - Infosec.Pub

Well, I can’t speak for everyone else, but I can’t go back because they don’t sell any small phones.

I picked the Pixel 8 because:

  • it runs GrapheneOS
  • It was a little smaller than the Pixel 8 Pro
  • If there was a smaller version available, I would’ve gotten that instead.

    I picked the Pixel A because:

  • It runs GrapheneOS
  • It’s slightly smaller and slightly cheaper than the normal version
  • The back is plastic and not glass
  • Glad I can use it and type on it one-handed, can’t imagine using a bigger phone.

    The only A series Pixel phone smaller than the Pixel 8 was the Pixel 4a.
    Pixel 8, even now that 9 is out, is still around $400 compared to 7’s already huge $300.
    That point absolutely still stands.
    It’s just strange that since the 4a, the 2 smallest phones Google released were both not in the a series.
