I want something small like Palm Phone, which is beautiful and refined.
But Palm Phone totally screws it up by marketing themselves as "companion phone" (your second mobile phone, why would I have 2 phones??) and the battery life is 5h (wtf is this??).
Other minimal phones focuses on calling, and guess what? 99% of my calls in the past few years were with spam.
Currently, there is absolutely no minimal small smart phone.
I've got Unihertz Jelly 2. It is smaller than "Palm Palm" in width and heigth, but a bit thicker in depth, which is a good thing. Screen is a bit tad too small, but good enough for calls and other basic functions. Typing in portrait mode is tricky, at least.
I had an earlier version of one of these, when they had a ridiculous sale (it was like $40 or something).
It ran quite well. Most apps worked fine. It was a little slow, but it almost never had problems. Typing aside, I'm surprised how reasonable it was, I used it as my only phone for a few days and I really had no complaints.
What about the Palm phone? It's waterproof, 2oz, and has a feature that cuts power to the cell and wifi chips when the screen is turned off, so no calls or texts until you turn it back on. I love it as my daily driver for a year now.
