I’ll probably be gang buttraped by the Apple people but I heard the new (and last) Zenfone is nice and compact.
I’m on my first Apple phone since a lifetime of Android. I’m really enjoying my mini, iOS is kinda a fun novel experience and I’m utterly sick of Google and their shutting down of every new service they introduce after a year or two.

It makes me so sad. As a certified short king it makes me sad that I’m gonna have to deal with the annoyance of giant phones in my little baby hands again sooner rather than later as it’s no longer supported…

There are many good small phones from other companies, those small phone lovers aren’t exactly left in the lurch, they’ve got options, thankfully.
What do you mean mini, its averaged sized
