One-handed phones are a dying breed. It makes sense, but it's also a bummer.

      i wish fairphone filled that market gap, and throw in a headphone jack as well.

        Fairphone is barely profitable with the current ones. Forget they can Risk making a niche-Product

      Depends on their needs. If they purely want a phone that fits nice in a pocket, a Z Flip will do. But if they really want the small screen, there are niche brands like Unihertz, which recently released the Jelly Star, a 3" phone with pretty decent specs.

        Isn’t the Z flip the one with the screen that has the consistency and hardness of jelly beans?

          Yes if you open it. You could also only use the outside screen which would give you a phone with a small screen.

            That’s a bit of a painful workaround considering paying for and not using the main selling point and then having to use a phone that’s twice as thick as it should be.

        Pixel 5 was the sweet spot. Then Google decided to only cater for people with enormous hands…

      There are a couple. Namely the Zenfone 8.
