That is why phones manufacturers won't make small cheap phones, there are no buyers for that.

Anonymous, 07 Jan 2024For everyone’s benefit, let’s concisely summarize some poin... moreYou don't speak for everyone. Just because you don't like one product, it doesn't mean no one else does. So stop ridiculing yourself by saying NO ONE. You don't have the sales data, but the manufacturer does. If their product sells, it means their product is ok, but it does not mean everyone will support it. If you don't like it, look somewhere else.

For everyone’s benefit, let’s concisely summarize some points that a few people made below on this subject:
Whatever phones are (or are not) produced has no correlation to what customers desire, and certain kinds of devices being discontinued does not mean people don’t want them anymore. Case in point:
1) Samsung keeps using Exynos chips despite knowing full well no one wants them.
2) Their 6000mAh battery phones are available in a limited amount of locations. In most countries, 5000mAh devices is the most that long battery life fans can get.
3) All their budget phones are big and heavy, some to ridiculous proportions. Though many budget customers want a smaller and lighter phone (similar to the base S phone’s dimensions), Samsung won’t make it anymore. Not even one.
4) They stopped the Note series even though tons of fans want it back.
5) They removed the 3.5mm jacks from higher-end phones, even though many people want it back.

But no, in your mind if a phone fails, it's only because of its size. How dumb.

If you only use your time to look for those phones instead of posting here about your argument. You clearly don't look properly, instead waiting to be spoonfed. The phone you have been asking for is already existing, and I should say ARE. The only non-existing version is with stereo jack and removable battery since manufacturers are now pushing for the standardized type-C and locked batteries.

Does that mean every other phone with the same size will fail too? By that (non) logic, there would never be a successful phone ever, because every size group had at least a few failed devices over time.

Let me try to help you. No one's asking for the S23 to be cheaper. They're asking for ANOTHER phone with a midrange chip to be the same SIZE as the S23. Get it?
That wasn't so complicated, was it?
And by the way, previous flagships aren't much cheaper, actually.

Look, we all want cheaper priced phones, but manufacturers produce different models at different price ranges. We are free to choose among them. Previous flagships are already cheaper now.

From what I can see with modern 'S' line Galaxies, based on price and specs, I am keeping my S8 for longer. At least it is a hand size, the curved screen apps are useful, has a proper functioning physical finger sensor, special slot for SD Card, and can share WIFI over hotspot without using Bluetooth (acc to Samsung support this no longer exists), and has 3.5 socket for earphones if I don't want to waste battery on bluetooth ear buds...

Anonymous, 04 Jan 2024Multiple comments below talk about wanting compact budget (... moreSpot on!
Here are two more examples of Samsung forcing decisions on consumers, instead of responding to what customers want:
4) The Note series being stopped. The howls of its many fans didn't faze Samsung.
5) The headphone 3.5mm jacks removal on higher-end phones. Samsung just decided that people don't want it, only lower-end customers do. Did they take global surveys to find out if that's the case? I seriously doubt it.
So once again, Samsung not making compact budget phones says nothing about whether many customers want them (which they do).
If anyone else has more examples, here's the place to add them.

Azu10157, 04 Jan 2024Okay so I had this phone for a week now. Really enjoying it... moreI am happy for you. I just wish the rest of us that can't cough up astronomical sums would also have access to a smaller and lighter phone like the S23 is. Many of us would love to become Samsung customers again, if only they would be willing to cater to us. (Don't worry, I'm not holding my breath.)

Okay so I had this phone for a week now. Really enjoying it and love the compact feel of it. Battery life is alright with ~6hr SOT.
Have used only budgets for the past six years so the premium experience is super nice (hopefully I don't get too spoiled though). Naked feel is nice but I do miss plastic.
Ultrasonic sensor is alright but hit or miss with screen protector so I just use face unlock (fast sometimes depending on lighting and how far my face is). I just wish it had a rear sensor though TBH

Anonymous, 04 Jan 2024No. #3 is so wrong. People don't want a small budget p... moreSo you claim there are compact budget phones from Samsung already in the market? Please specify the models, because none of us (aside from you apparently) know of any that were produced in the last three years already.
And contrary to what you think, many budget customers (notice they're called "budget" customers for a reason) are NOT looking for the top specs. Just a decent performing phone that's small and light (like the S23's dimensions). It's really not that hard to understand.
