Please Moto, make a not gigantic 6in slab of a phone. Please make one ~5in with good specs.

[–] holy_scroller@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yep. Sick of giant phones. Crazy hard to find a small phone with decent specs.

I want a new take on the Pixel 4a. Slim, light, reasonably rugged just by the nature that it's plastic all around and weighs nothing. I miss that phone still...

[–] bitwolf@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 hours ago

Same! The only reason I moved to an 8 is bc the port ended up getting so worn it stopped charging and wireless charging took forever.

I don't care that much about size. Not nearly as much as the "flagship" designation bullshit. How about we don't have to pay 5x as much, because it's a flagship and still let us have Graphene?

Most Motorola phones in the U.S. were cheaper, but post sanctions I'm not sure.

Wish I could get it without the free watch and earbuds and take those out of the price. "Free $299 value buying a $399 phone. Can I just buy the phone for $150 please lol.

Edit: (Apparently the developers are just supporting flagships for now, so the normal phones I guess won't be supported)

Please ALSO make a giant 7" one, Moto. Thank you!

[–] winkerjadams@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And I want a midsize one, thanks

[–] Reygle@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

I'm voting for 4". Something only barely large enough to use

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

7" table, 5" phone please, pretty please, pretty please with cherries on top!!!

[–] bitwolf@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 hours ago

Yes yes yes! I really miss my old Nexus 7, that form factor was incredible.

[–] PangurBan@lemmy.world -3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

6 inches is gigantic?

That's what I have and it doesn't feel quite big enough. Close but not quite.

Never once thought it felt too big in my hand or my pocket...
