The battery would be nice, I don't care about the 3.5 honestly especially with usb c headphones, I don't really want "compact" just a little smaller than my current pixel 7 pro, the notification dot was neat but it's not really a necessity imo, and the SD card is really only helpful for shit tons of video
My phone checks all these boxes, but it does not run android
Come on, don't leave us hanging
My guess is KaiOS
That was the note 3 for me except for the compact size. I had a 10,000 mah upgraded battery in it. Thing was a brick but could last a 2-3 days on a full charge, cant get even one fully day on my oneplus 8t :/
except for the compact size.
Ironically, a 5.7" screen is smaller than anything available on the market now. The note 3 would actually tick that box today. It's insane.
My Xperia phone has all of these except the removable battery. I think the EU is legislating removable batteries be brought back to phones so given another year or two I'd expect to start seeing them again.
Which current Xperia is small? They dropped the compact line years ago.
Either the 5 series or the entry-level Ace series (Japan only).
The 5 isn't small and the ace isn't available where I live :-/
Is there a phone that still has all these features?
Sony, except the battery, but that is coming with new EU regulation.
Actually cheap phones often have more of these things, although it's getting rarer.
Sony's phones aren't small.
They're skinnier and shaped in a more compact way. And I think the lower models are still smaller, aren't they? Even if not exactly the compact/mini models they used to make.
Their aspect ratio is much wider. Still, they're not using this to make smaller phones but simply make phones that are just as wide as other phones even taller, making the top of the screen even harder to reach. The Xperia 10 and 5 Vs are both 68 mm wide, which is just as wide as a zenfone, but 8.5 mm taller.
Yea, and Zenfone 10 is the "small" phone, isn't it? So this is as wide as that, and much skinnier than usual phone sizes. The assignment said "compact", not "small".
The zenfone is sometimes called small because that phablet is absurdly one of the smallest phones you can get right now. Still, that doesn't make it small or compact. The XZ1 compact was 64x129 mm. The zenfone is 68.1x146.5 mm. And with those bezels on the older Sony, the top part of the display were actually in reach of your thumb. The zenfone has a 5.92 inch display... That's not small. You know which phone is just a μ wider but also smaller than the zenfone? The fucking galaxy S22. The Samsung flagship. Those aren't compact or small and the fact that people call them that in the absence of actually small android phones doesn't make it any better. The only compact or small phones right now are the iPhones 13 Mini and the se which are both the last of their kind.
Fairphone
Not small. No 3.5 mm.
So hard when sarcasm describes exactly what I’d want in a phone.
I'm just suggesting this, I don't actually own one, yet. I'll probably be buying my next phone from them in the next few years when my current Samsung Galaxy S10e dies.
Turns out the galaxy S4 WAS the best phone ever created.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 made me a meme at my local network provider store between 2013 and 2015. That model just kept on breaking for no discernible reason.
My first S4 (S4 0), the one that I actually bought with my new service plan, held up nicely for about half a year. Then, it started to randomly power off. Using my phone as my alarm in the morning, I overslept several times due to this. It also just randomly turned off in my pocket, and later even in my hand. I was able to replicate the error in the store. They replaced the phone with a new one (S4 1).
The entirely brand-new phone had a swelling battery after three months, which I replaced out of pocket with a new original one. This one, too, bulged up soon. A third, off-brand battery did the same. Back to the shop I went. Of course, they told me it ought to be user error, which I couldn't disprove on the spot. So I offered to insert one of their brand new batteries and leave my phone with them for two weeks, using a loaner. They accepted and, lo and behold, the phone inflated that battery, too, just lying in their shop drawer being charged. This got me my second replacement device (S4 2).
This phone had no electronic problems. The screen, however, sat visibly snuck between the bezels. I applied a then-novel glass screen protector to the screen instead of the usual adhesive films. The screen developed tension cracks below the screen protector. Back in I went and got the screen replaced under warranty (to my own surprise). I even had them apply a new protector screen which had a little bubble around a speck of dust at the bottom. We were on first name basis at this point, so we laughed about it, arguing that the bubble needn't annoy me too, since I'd be back soon anyway.
I was back soon, anyway. The screen cracked again. They remembered the bubble, saw I hadn't dabbled with the protector, and surmised that the fault needed to be this phones faulty manufacturing. I got the third replacement (S4 3). It'd be my last one, too.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 was a great phone, in and of itself. It had great features at a competitive price point, was really slim and offered good performance while not entirely buying into the whole phablet trend. I liked it, in concept. The people at "my" cellular shop assured me that it was, in fact, freaky how often I had problems with the model. They were said to be as reliable as the current iPhones.
My last Galaxy S4 started to show the known power-off issue a few months shy of 2 years since my original purchase, meaning the EU-mandated warranty was about to run out. I sold it as partly defect and got a different brand phone.
Either I've had good luck or you've had shit luck with the S4 lol
My s4 still sits in a drawer by my desk and works perfectly and I got it when it was released.
I miss the notification LED the most.
notification LED
but why?
I think it is useful when you don't have an OLED screen. Else you can just have an AOD
