      Too impossible.

        Could have 3500mah + 5g supporting chipset, instead of 8/256gb

But with this kind of spec, it's more suitable to elderly people. Zenfone 9 or S23 is quite tiny and similar to this with more useable daily application.

                  This is definitely what I'm looking for. 5 inches screen smartphone. Why manufacturers never thought of that? 150g and below definitely my ideal. Please be available globally.

                    Compare specs & price with 5y old phone https://m.gsmarena.com/lenovo_vibe_k5_plus-7947.php

                      Now this is interesting.

                      Here are the actual dimensions...
                      Qin3 Ultra: 126.8 x 61.85 x 8.7 mm, 118 g
                      iPhone SE 1: 123.8 x 58.6 x 7.6 mm, 113 g
                      Xperia XZ1 Compact: 129 x 65 x 9.3 mm, 140 g

                      I just recently sold my 2nd SE 1. I got an iPhone 4S which acts like an iPod, still on iOS6, prefer headphone jack on top, and it's shorter by 8.6 mm. I now believe the 4 series is the best iPhone design. Not the 5 series which was an elongated 4.

                      My SE's battery was atrocious by iOS15 even with 88% health. I didn't want to pay an extra $69 to get the battery replaced. I only had it for 2 years and I didn't use it constantly. It was getting laggy any way with only 2 GB RAM and many iOS apps are no longer optimized for that 4" display.

                      This Qin3 Ultra better have pretty decent battery life. They usually don't. But if this is supposed to keep you away from the internet, then it doesn't need to have decent battery life. It's an interesting device. Hope more OEMs follow suit. I'm looking at you two, Samsung and Sony.

                        Oh man I absolutely LOVE the form factor, but I’m not a fan of the limited software implementation just like the previous Qin phones. I would buy this thing in an instant if it was just a normal version of android. I have been looking for a smaller phone for so long, but all the options in the market are either too big, have poor battery life, or are too expensive… I’ll be keeping my eye on this though, it would awesome if anyone made custom ROMs for it.

                          Quite like this one. Something refreshing in a sea of large phones. The Helio G99 provides adequate performance and could be pretty future proof for the market targeted by this device.

They have to access these things somehow while being able to communicate with parents when they have to stay for after-school activities.

                                      Overpriced, but I like the concept. To fight this phone addiction you cold also buy an Apple Watch too or Galaxy Watch, where you can make calls and listen to music, and even use Todoist, TickTick or whatever.

                                      The advantage of having an actual phone to fight phone addiction is that you have a camera and of course another software features. But sometimes a good smartwatch can be the solution. The point here is not the price, this phone costs the same as an Apple Watch SE for example, but different approaches to fight this distraction.
