Same here, I am genuinely shocked they discontinued the mini series. Will there be another version of the SE maybe?
As another person in the same boat, the problem is that people don't buy them. Like it or not, we're in the minority.

That is what EVs are for. Replace the battery every few years and replace your car whenever a new incompatible plug standard comes out.
Silly point when you consider that manufacturers love the fact that an ICE vehicle has to go into the garage for new parts every few months
It's hard to feel positive about upgrading my phone when every new phone seems to remove things I want while adding stuff I don't care about. My S10e is a reasonable size in my pocket. It has a headphone jack. It has an SD card slot. Any new Samsung phone I buy will be missing these things, and I'll be forced to pay hundreds of dollars extra to increase the on-board storage that will still be far less than the 512GB…
I have an iPhone 13 mini, the last <5" flagship phone you can buy. I'm not particularly tied to the iPhone ecosystem, but when this dies, I don't know what I'm going to do.

Oh, I didn't even notice why I keep postponing upgrading my out-of-line phone that can't even get new software from the play store anymore. But yeah, it's because I dread of looking around trying to decide what I'll give up to get a headphone jack.
I’m stuck in my mini 13 until a new mini comes out or I get tired of it. I think that's where we're at now, there's no feature you NEED, just occasional upgrades that you can put off if you want for form factor alone.

IIRC, the mini versions skimped on the camera. That’s the only reason I didn’t buy one. I preferred the small size but wanted the best camera offered.
And the price is $1000.
They mean phablets? The shipments of smartphones likely plummeted above 90% because there is like 1 model available in total.
The term phablet has been pretty much obsolete since 2015 or so. Better accept that we're not going back.
