Until I purchased a Pixel 8a, I thought the same thing.

I discovered that all the newer pant models that I purchased have bigger pockets, so that's not a problem anymore.

I just hope that all the newer body models I purchase have bigger hands.

		I have probably normal hands, and I feel that the pixel 8a is perfect, and that I could use a bigger one too. You can choose the size of the keyboard, if this worries you.

"Just buy bigger pants" is the 2025 version of "you're holding it wrong"?

		No, I simply noticed that all my very old pants (that I don't use anymore), have very small pockets, and that all the new pants have very big pockets. My opinion on small vs big screen is all based on that.

That doesn't solve the weight problem.

		Modern phones weight the same as the old ones... A couple of days ago, I walked 20.000 steps on a mountain trail, and I didn't notice a problem with my pixel 8a in my pants' pocket. Holding it is not a problem too.
