Pixel 8 is still too big for me. If they would release a Pixel 8 Mini I would love to buy that, even at the same price. Even at the Pro price if it had the same features.
Instead I’ll keep holding out with my current phone.
I didn’t realise it at the time but the Pixel 5 is the perfect size for me at 6". I really hoped the 8 was going to be no more than 6.1" but sadly not.
Interesting, I was curious to see how the 8 compared to my 6a, which is perfect for me, and it’s actually a tiny bit smaller with a tiny bit larger screen.
There’s not any current flagship phone with (significantly) smaller dimensions, which is my main complaint.
My phone is an S22, for the singular reason that it was literally the smallest (Android) flagship phone available at the time. But it’s still too big.
However my actual phone is irrelevant, even if it would be a ZFold the point is that i will not change from it until I see a proper small option.
For me “small” would be 4-5.5", and i don’t consider the iPhone 15 Pro (or Pixel 8) to be small. I consider that to be a “standard” size these days (6"), where everything larger is “large” and anything in the missing segment of smaller would be “small”.
One problem would be, if they go smaller it gets more expensive and then there is less space for camera/battery and so on. So you pay more for less power.
Maybe Google finds its way like Apple and will get a wider range of phones.
Sure, but those are tradeoffs that are necessitated by the size, so it just comes down to a consumer deciding if they value more the larger battery, or smaller size. Personally i put a lot of value in the smaller size, so would be very accepting of reasonable tradeoffs to achieve it.
I also hope Google (or any major manufacturer) finds its way to include a smaller option in future lineups. :)

People think they want an 8" phone but when you get right down to it, 5" is plenty
We’re not talking about phones anymore, are we.

Yeah the Pixel 8 is slightly smaller.

And the Pixel 8 is too small for me. If it would be bigger, I would take it. Now I have to get the Pro.
At least you have that option.
What is your current phone?
In todays world the Pixel 8 is a small phone. It has nearly the same size as the IPhone 15Pro which is also a small phone.
Is there any flagship phone with smaller dimendions?
