I want an iPhone Mini-sized Android phone (2022)

10 months ago

Eric Migicovsky announces the Small Android Phone project to rally support for a premium small Android phone.
Current premium Android phones lack options with displays under 6 inches, creating a gap in the market.
The ideal small phone prioritizes size (under 6 inches), premium build quality, and stock Android, with flexible other specs.
Target price range is $700-800, acknowledging the niche market's willingness to pay more for desired features.
The project aims to gather at least 50,000 interested buyers to convince manufacturers to produce the phone.
Eric has a background in hardware (Pebble smartwatch) and connections in the industry to potentially lead the project if necessary.
The discontinuation of the Sony Xperia Compact line has left no alternatives for small premium Android phones.
Eric switched to iPhone due to the lack of small Android options but criticizes iOS for its notification system and file management.
The iPhone Mini's potential discontinuation could open a market opportunity for a small Android alternative.
Community support is crucial to pressure manufacturers into considering the production of a small premium Android phone.
