    They are definitely niche appeal, but take a look at Unihertz. They make some phones that diverge from the current trends with flagship phones.

      The problem with Uniherz is the lack of 5G network support. I’m on T-Mobile and only 1 of the 4 bands are supported by Uniherz phones, so that means limited connectivity and no mmwave support.

        Yeah, that’s true. Part of why it’s a niche appeal.

        In my case, I was having a hard time finding a reasonably sized phone. All the major manufacturers really jumped into the phablet trend (150mm x 70mm is where I start to feel like a phone is too big).

          I hear you. My personal limit is 155mm x 74mm and even I were willing to overlook the lack of connectivity, so many of the Google/Samsung alternative Android phones are just too goddamn big these days.

            Right? All I want for Christmas is a phone that fits in my hand. Apparently, that’s WAY too much to ask for.
