How to Help Convince Tech Companies to Make a Smaller Smartphone - Lifehacker

Pebble was eventually sold off to Fibit, but Migicovsky is now trying to make waves again, pushing a new chat app dubbed Beeper and making a concerted effort to inspire a tech company, any tech company, to bring back the small smartphone.

Migicovsky says he’s never liked the feeling of a large phone, and even though he’s a tall guy, a compact phone has always been more comfortable for him to use.

Migicovsky is looking for four key things out of a small phone: a screen smaller than six inches; a design profile roughly similar in size and quality to the iPhone 13; great cameras; and stock Android OS (sorry Apple fans).

Funnily enough, to get his small phone fix, Migicovsky actually uses an iPhone 13, but he doesn’t like iOS compared to Android.

He’s looking to “unionize” the community of small phone enthusiasts, hoping to amass at least 50,000 signatures to present to tech companies as proof there’s still a market for smartphones of this size.

Both of those things put a strain on battery life, and a smaller phone means less room for a battery.

(Migicovsky suggests making the phone thicker until the battery was sufficiently big enough—and while most of us don’t need a phone as thin as Apple’s minis, but you probably don’t want to veer too far in the other direction.).
