    Ok, 29 Dec 2022I have used the galaxy a40 for some time and I have to say ... moreWell man Samsung A20e or Samsung A40 are lasat small samsung phones made.
    They re excellent way they are but for most adult people they are too small to use.
    Imagine a constructuion site worker using tinny phone like that.
    Most people at construction site have a hand of a baseball glove sometimes even bigger.
    Having big fingertips and using them for typing on a such small phone will resulkts in dissaster for that really voice input makes sense.

      enough for a good typing expierience.

        SShreyas, 29 Dec 2022Bruh It's aspect ratio and not "size". You ... moreHmmmm well maybe.
        but with thick hands and fingers small screen is useless.
        Thats said aspect ratio is not a big win anyway.

          It's aspect ratio and not "size". You won't burn your eyes watching a screen thats 1 inch smaller than yours. There might be people with better eyesight than yours who have used 2.5 inch screen on Samsungs and Nokias from 2010s.
          Also, it's again aspect ratio responsible for typing experience, and not size. It'd be a lot more easier to type on a 5.5 inch smartphone with 16:9 aspect ratio than a 6.5 inch smartphone with 21:9 ratio.

              Small phone is not garbage, because u don't like it does not mean it's garbage

              And it also depends on the size 6.1" for example is not too small but also not too big-its the perfect size for most people but not most good phones are made that size

              5.9" is pretty small by 2022 standards but typing will not be a problem
              Its something like the iPhone SE 2022 display that is too cramped

                    Anonymous, 27 Dec 2022 While partly true, by that logic we should ignore most ... moreWhich is fine, as long Google, Samsung and Apple keep giving long OS support, there is no reason to not keep a phone for less than 4 maybe even 5 years by now.

                    Except that it will make phones more and more expensive because lack of sales, but I guess that is a fair sacrifice.

                    Man yes good idea keeping phone for 5 years to end with very updated but garbage unable to run latest games and premium apps such as photo editor etc becazuse of outdated hardware and lack of ram.
                    Such a genius logic.
                    Most people buy phones on a 2 up to 3 years period just for above reason.
                    Wy do you think people buying Iphone 14 if Iphone X or even 8 still receives updates???
                    Try to run gensin Impact ro Forza Motosport, Forge of Empires or Diablo Immortal ona phone with 2GB of ram. Game will crashes before it will even start rnnng same goes for most apps.
                    Google pixel with 4GB of ram is a same thing.

                      Well i understand why is there Asus for the rest i dont understand that much but since not many companies gives small phones i undersand rest of the list.
                      But in my opinion small phones are garbage.
                      Typing on a such tiny screen and trying to break and damage your eyes and visuals is a big no for me.
                      But small phones are exactly good for that. Presing several letters at a same time when typing fast and trying to examine what are that tiny letters ion that tiny screen.
                      Small phones are fail in present time and era.
                      Good only for kids with small hands.

                        DMX, 27 Dec 2022I don't know why the iphone is on this list if it'... moreIf Apple was omitted, many people (of questionable intelligence) would ignore the article entirely. I suspect it is a politically ($) motivated addition to the list.

                          Galaxy fold4 should not be recommended, it is not a finished device. It is very much a beta device. There are issues with the screen membrane, you can Google it. There are lack of spare parts.

                          There are several portions of the phone that is not covered by gorilla glass unlike the s22 series and causes massive chipping of paint.

                          Reviewers must be morally responsible when putting out such lists they are acting as blind advertisers for a poorly designed device

                                sohail shafayat, 27 Dec 2022Not everyone needs an ultra-wide shit too... It's not the same. Because today's sensors have so many MPs, you can actually get away without a telephoto by simply using 2x digital zoom. However, when you really need an ultrawide, there is no suitable replacement for that lens. You can "sorta" get away with panorama mode if everything is static, but most of the times anything is moving in the frame (i.e., welcome to real life) the panorama mode will yield a mess.
