I bought the 6a almost a year ago and have been using it until a few days ago. The phone is great but I never used it comfortably and lately because of having to put it in my short’s pockets (it’s summer) I started to notice more and more how big it is. I decided to compare the size of it with the Pixel 5 (since eveyone says it’s the perfect sized phone) and I saw how much taller, thicker and even heavier the 6a is compared to 5.

So I decided to look for Pixel 5 on the web just to see how much they cost and found a great refurbished at 240€ mint condition. I looked around for other 6.0inch phones and there are so very few a them (Asus mostly).

Now I’m using the Pixel 5 and it’s so much better to hold it and carry it around… I wish the Pixel 8a has this size (if it’s released at all), since 8 is going to be like the 6a most likely.

Do you guys miss a 5.9’‘/6.0’’ phone? I hate how all smartphones’ screens are at least 6.1 inches and have the tall 20:9 ratio…

    I feel you, I was about to buy the Asus Zenfone 10 just for its size as I really miss the old days when we had small phones, but I ended up buying the Pixel 7a instead as there was a better deal for the Pixel 7a + the Pixel Buds and the guaranteed software updates won me over. I wish smartphone manufacturers would show the small form factor segment more love.
