I do not blame you, it is complicated to consider, so it is for me that’s why I ask for opinions, feedback.
And I wouldn’t be asking for the community if I didn’t go back and forth on this but I unfortunately keep going back and forth. Basically “The pixel 8, but aw shit the pixel fold is smaller, then again im gonna be forced to harm reduce, so pixel 8, but man I really like how small the pixel fold. but hey the s25 looks really compact but man it has its own issues. iPhone 17 but same thing and way more expensive. I’ll take some mm if it means using grapheneos but oh noooo. AHHHH I CANT DECIDE” type of mindset
it also doesn’t help that companies are now making phones 6" or bigger making it in the norm, so im scrambling for smaller or just a tiny bigger than 6" due to the industry moving forward with this.
but I am 100% not exceeding 6.3" on a phone.
but again, 13 mini and pixel fold, fine with me, even though these things have their own cons, with the fold form factor being less of a burden due to the ability to flash other oses, allowing for harm reduction.
and while the pixel 8 and others sounds great, if I can get away with the other then yeah.
also about the it’s not exactly an upgrade, yes im aware but I also said it is not something I mind at all even if it’s a con.
that should also answer you about the whole phone size for you.
