It looks like the mass market prefers huge 6in screen and big battery. I have difficulty to find new Android phone that does not make my not-so-big palm tired. I do not need big screen and battery, I will use my laptop or tv to watch videos. The closest decent model in this region is Xiaomi 11 Lite,150g, not too thick nor too wide, snapdragon 732 cpu, etc. It is around usd 250. I did a bit of g search, most of mini phones from other brands are either not produced anymore, low spec, too niche, etc.

I wish others would make something decent, similar to iphone se.

Consumers don't really get a choice about this, same as with headphone ports. Every generation of phones is bigger and even if they buy the smallest of the bigger phones, the average still increases.

Voting with your wallet only works if there are options, but now it seems that the market is more like most democracies - big soup with the same stuff, but slightly different colours.
