Here are relative dimensions:
Pixel 3 phone dimensions: 145.6 x 68.2 x 7.9 mm
Zenfone 9 phone dimensions: 146.5x68.1x9.1mm
Pixel 6a phone dimensions: 152.2 x 71.8 x 8.9 mm
Pixel 6 dimensions: 158.60 x 74.80 x 8.90mm
With current slim bezels and modified aspect ratios, dimensions have gone down for relatively larger screen sizes.

My bet is always to see which phone is supported by LineageOS, or other alternatives. Typing this on a Moto G6 (2018). I also have a fully patched Nexus 7 tablet (2013). Technically, there's nothing wrong with them. It's just that the vendors can't bring themselves to do the work. Hopefully some legislation will come into place at some point to enforce this.
That's a community effort, and from previous experiences some pretty random things can be broken, but if the contributors don't care, they won't even look into it. It's fine, but it's not an alternative to actual updates. In the same way, mods for games aren't an alternative to the developer just fixing issues.
Will buy this purely for the fact that it has the 3.5mm jack and a separate finger print sensor. Sensor placement on the side is perfect, I've long been searching for a successor for my trusty S10e
I just gave up a few weeks ago and bought a pixel 6, but this phone might make me rethink that decision. It's smallish and has a 3,5mm jack? That's as close to my ideal phone as it's going to get in 2022!
I've been rocking an iPhone 7 since it came out - I want a true one-handed, pocketable phone - but nobody tests software on them anymore and things are glitching hard. Plus, battery life is half a day now.

Except that could easily be achieved by making the phone slightly thicker, instead. When phones are so thin and fragile that a rigid case is practically mandatory, I don't know why "thin" is a selling point.
I completely agree with you. We could solve two problems at once: get rid of a camera bump and make the battery bigger at the same time by using the extra space of the camera bump to house a bigger battery. Not sure why it hasn't happened yet or if it has I don't know if it.
We've gotten to the point of peak absurdity where 5.9" is considered "ultra-compact". I'm in the market for a new phone right now, and it's baffling how ridiculously big most phones are right now. I only use mine for instant messaging and browsing Hacker News. 5" is more than enough for that.

I have slightly big hand and I don't mind the current sizes, I like them. But I wish all phones were thicker, they just so thin and slick. I alwasy have to add a case to make them ticker and easier to use

Yeah, I own a Galaxy S20. Damn thing always prints on my pants when is in the pocket. The bigger screen size is good, but I preffer portability. If I want a giant screen I would by a tablet.
The fit in my pants is honestly the biggest problem I've had too since getting a Pixel 6. The one-handed keyboard/screen mode works fine, the battery life is nice, and the bigger screen I mostly don't care either way about. It's big in my pants though, when I'm not using it, I think only folding phones will really solve this.

Because that’s what people buy. Apple switched to a larger screen size not because they thought it was better but their phones were losing out in showrooms to the larger Galaxy phones.
> Because that’s what people buy. Because that's what companies make. There are examples of smaller phones that were not successful, but they sucked for one reason or another.
