If Sony ever brings back Xperia Mini I will be a happy man. I don't want the best camera or the fastest cpu. Can live with a tiny display. Just give me something that can run Android 10 reasonably well in a tiny package and you have my money.

Pro tip. Have your credit card info saved in your kickstarter account so you don't end up like me.

Do you mean the Xperia Compact, or did they have a separate Mini line too? I love Sony's phones, but their product naming confuses me to no end...
Anyway, I was thinking of the original mini line not the later compact line. The first mini, "x10 mini", was too small to run the standard Android launcher so I would prefer the newer slightly larger "mini":

The volume of the Unihertz Jelly 2 (77.4cm³) is more than 13% larger than the volume of an Apple iPhone SE (2020) (68cm³)! I consider that to be a good reminder that there is no free lunch: If you build such a small smartphone, you suddenly don't have enough space behind the screen for a flat battery anymore, forcing you to increase the depth of the device to fit an adequate battery. You then end up with a device wit…
Anyone here ever get one of their older devices?
I had the original Jelly. Had high hopes of getting a small modern phone, with minimal features but no time wasting apps, but returned it. Battery life was hours. It wasn’t safe to take to work because it’d be dead in an hour of listening to music on the commute. Phone call quality was so poor my family and coworkers went mutiny. I could hear them fine but the mic was awful, apparently. The screen was so, so small th…
if audio drains the battery then there is a serious design flaw

A phone like this would be absolutely perfect in my world. Not as a daily phone or a phone at all but rather a bicycle computer with extended features. Shoving a 5-6-7 inch screen on the handlebar is borderline impossible and and anything but optimal. But something like this could be perfect: exercise tracking, music player, with some additional work you could hook it up to a camera mounted under the seat and have a…
Which extended features you need to have on the bicycle computer, for example? I'm already overwhelmed with features my bicomp has. (I use SC Dash M50, because I like it small pebble like size).
The kickstarter funding target is $50k. Is that a typical cost to design and manufacture a phone?
