> We're working with a major Android OEM to change that though, hopefully for 2026 or at least 2027.

Is there any chance that you fabulous guys could lobby for a smaller <5 inch phone with that OEM? (reference https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44586723)

It will start out being their regular phones with security and updates improved to meet the requirements of GrapheneOS. When we demonstrate there's a huge demand for it after the products launch, we can have more influence. Our focus would be adding some security features not available on Pixels. The current aim is preserving the security we get from Pixels, but the future goals are more ambitious.

The Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact was the perfect size phone and I hate the world for not having successors of the same size.

		The phone I am currently using has the following dimensions: 165.2 x 75.7 x 9.1 mm (6.50 x 2.98 x 0.36 in). I think it is a sweet spot for me. I would not go for larger than this.

Do you guys all have that small pockets? I have a 6.7" Smartphone and never had an issue with its size

Oh it's not pockets. I just have tiny raccoon paws for hands.

I like being able to reach across the keyboard one-handed (to shift, etc) and I can't do that on modern, larger phones.

		In some keyboards (like Florisboard) there are options to either left-align or right-align the keyboard, which helps you to do that, even on a big smartphone
