People drone on and on about bigger displays and batteries and that no one wants compact budget phones. Then you ask them why Samsung’s 6000mAh phones aren’t available in many or most countries if that’s the batteries that everyone supposedly is clamoring for.
Suddenly, silence and cricket sounds… The genius preachers became mute.

AZR, 09 Jan 2024Let me give you a few points on why "budget small phon... more1) There is a market for bigger phones (for the reasons you mentioned), and that's what you're aware of. There's also a demand for smaller phones by consumers with OTHER preferences, but you're just not aware of it so you decided it doesn't exist.
2) There's no need to "stuff" anything onto smaller devices. Everyone understands that a smaller device means a smaller battery and display. But some value a pocket-fitting device that doesn't tire their hands over some of the stuff you mentioned above. And yes, many of these people can't afford astronomically priced S phones, and they deserve a compact device with a midrange chip. Again, you may not know they exist, but that means nothing.

SweeetY, 09 Jan 2024You are wrong...people buying budget phones want them big, ... more"More phone for less money" - how genius.
So you'd probably love a 5 foot long phone because it's "more phone".
But many others actually like phones that fit into their pockets and don't fatigue their hands. You may not be aware of this, considering you don't mingle with too many other people to know that there are different preferences out there.

Let me give you a few points on why "budget small phones" doesn't work in current market:
a) Big phone means big battery, and most importantly, big screen. The demographic on this segment is very large. You'll have 8 year olds (who will spend their time playing games), Uber drivers (who need good navigation device), all the way to old people (who only uses it for messaging and/or sometimes Youtube/social media). Larger screen will fulfill all those requirement better than smaller screen. Playing games is better on large screen (that's why there's no small "gaming phone"). Reading maps is also better on larger screen. And lastly, larger fonts can be displayed more conveniently on larger screen (without scrolling too much), useful for people who have eyesight problems. The spacing on the on-screen keyboard will be better on larger screen, to facilitate larger fingers as well. and many more.
b) What about midrangers? I would argue that the first point still stands, but not as important. Here, most people usually will be more concerned with the increase of performance over the budget offerings. For example, faster chips for playing games, brighter, smoother, and more color vibrant/accurate screen for reading/watching, better haptic feedback when typing, etc. Aesthetic may be started to be considered, but more often than not, performance jump will still be more important than aesthetics.
c) The point is, with lower price range, more often than not, people will care more about performance than aesthetic. That's just a hard fact. It's only the expensive products where you can stuff only so many latest tech before its just become "yet another high-end phone". So, to "differentiate" (and in the name of innovation), companies start to mess with the aesthetic (read: gimmick) as well. For example, folding phones.
d) Companies understands all that, that's why we don't see anyone making smaller phones other than flagship or close to flagship level phones. There's simply no market for it, despite many people wanted to think otherwise.

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.

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.
