I’d really like a smaller phone too, and I think that some of the better companies like Oneplus are starting to offer smaller variants (Oneplus 13T and 13S just got released a few months ago, and they’re 6.3" whereas most now are 6.8").
Besides that tho I’ve found OnePlus and Xiaomi phones to be pretty unbeatable the past few years, for battery life and fast charging.
Would be nice if phones from PRC-based companies weren’t so legislated against in the US Empire. I think OnePlus isn’t as blacklisted from bands as Xiaomi or Huawei, so that might be the direction I head, but for now it seems safest to just go for a used Pixel and throw GrapheneOS on it, unfortunately.
