No more Android phones that you can reasonably hold in one hand.
Galaxy S23 is the same size though?
that is still too damn big to comfortably use one handed
I agree
It sucks that Samsung is the only good phone manufacturer with a well-rounded flagship that can (mostly) be used with one hand.
With an optical zoom camera. Samsung is the best in the Android world.
I would think of the Xperia series, like the Xperia 5 IV( +SD card slot + water resistant + 3.5mm jack)
Just a shame that Sony only sell them in a few countries. They're quite difficult and expensive to get in most parts of the world.
Dang, thought as big as Sony is, they'd be everywhere still. The 1 is stupid expensive, but the 10 V isn't a bad midrange phone on paper.

Not only do Sony not bother to sell them in Australia, they refuse to lend any assistance to get VoLTE and VoWifi working if you do jump through the hoops to import one.
This renders them completely useless for making voice calls in Australia as of July 2024 as our 3G network will be completely shut down by then.
It's a major fucking bummer because I would have bought the Xperia 5 IV in a heartbeat. It's perfect.
Damn, I didn't know that! What a shame they pulled out of so many markets. Their phones are expensive but they sure have all the bells and whistles.
Ironically, for me the Galaxy Fold 5 has been easy to handle one handed because of how narrow it is. Compared to one of my old phones (Xperia Z3 Compact), the Z Fold is only a few mm wider. Compared to my most recent flagship level phone (ROG Phone 2), it's only 13 grams heavier.
Sitting here with my Fold4 thinking the same thing.
