Nice. I have no desire to carry a tablet around in my pocket. So tired of these massive phones. These things are supposed to be portable.

    Just out of curiosity, how old are you and do you ever use your phone to watch a video or play games?

    Not OP, but I'm in my 40s and the answer to both your questions is a resounding no. I went for a pixel 3a to a OnePlus 13 about two years ago and the thing is way too big. Even my work issues iPhone 15 is a bit too big.

    The screen real estate is kind of nice, but pocket fit is abysmal.

    Also not OP, and I'll decline to post my age, but I'm old enough to have used small phones, and I think my previous Sony X Compact was the right size. The Enough is very close to the same dimensions.

    I do use my phone to watch video or play games on occasion, and no doubt, bigger phones are better for those things. Better still is my tablet; better than that is my laptop; better than that is a gaming PC with a 32" 4K display and a mechanical keyboard.

    The phone's main job is to fit comfortably in my pocket and be easily used one-handed. Making it substantially worse at those jobs so it can be marginally better at the things other devices will always far outclass it in is a fail for me.

    Watch a video, sure. Play games, maybe mindustry or shattered pixel dungeon but neither of those needs a big screen.

    My fairphone 6 is already way too big. It doesn't even fit in literally any waterproof bike phone holder I can find.
