I just mentioned this in a comment, but thought it might be helpful for a larger audience. I'm not affiliated with these people, but I would really really like a smaller Android phone. They also seem motivated to try and make something happen.

Might want to look into Unihertz. Specifically: https://www.unihertz.com/products/jelly-star

3 inch screen.

I would be wary. I bought a Jelly 2, and the wifi range was about ten feet. If I left the room my router was in, no wifi. I contacted Unihertz, and they took forever to get back to me, and told me to ship it to them (my cost) and if they found a problem, they'd ship me a new one (again, my cost), and if they didn't find a problem, I could pay to have my old one shipped back.

Screw that. It's now a teeny tiny paperweight.

I am now rocking a Mode 1 Retro II.

Not bad, but now my classmates call me "Flip phone".

I own a Jelly 2 and really like it to play around with. However, I find it too small as a daily driver, when I tried that for two weeks. Due to the small size, it is also really bulky, so instead of a tablet, you have a bump in your pocket. For me, the perfect size is around 4,5-5" (minus the keyboard of the titan slim). The Tank Mini 1 has a good screen size, but again is really thick.

I know this was linked for the small phones but that Tank 2 looks like a real nice phone.

Thanks for sharing. Looking at a few of their various models and at the very least it looks like they're doing something different
