A small cheap decent android phone - does it exist?

Redmi note 10s is then what I would recommend.. if you stretch the budget by 200bucks or try find the 64gb version, which might drop below the 5k mark..

That is surely going to be the same size as the Note 10 Pro...?

Do you have the 64GB flavour? How's the camera?

I have the 32GB flavour with 2GB RAM. Phone never stutters or hangs. Camera is slow to start but takes OK photos in sunlight. Night photography bad.

What about Doogee, Blackview or CAT? Maybe they have something on the "smaller" side of things.

On the doogee side, think the smallest screen size is 5.45" with terrible resolution (all their phones have terrible resolution) and the weight is killer, nearly half a kg with other models averaging around 250g plus..

I just did a quick search and also get these results. 250g in a phone must really feel like quite a lot!
 
Most phones seem to be over 6inches these days.

Below 5k

They probably still want something with decent specifications.

Older gen iphone or maybe used S10, S20

The 5.5 screens from android have basically disappeared.

There is the Huawei 5p but it's kak

Yeah, it's a big pity. I know a lot of people who would still prefer a smaller form factor phone.

Agreed on the 2GB RAM. I also think 32GB ROM is too limiting these days.

The 9T looks lovely. Organised two of those for other family members. Buuut... It's still big :/
