I would love a smaller phone but that battery... I use my phone for more than 5 minutes a day. Also, shipping with Android 9 when 12 is almost out? Oof.

Less screen means less battery usage, as it's the most intensive user of the battery so I can't see this being a negative. Power users with tons of apps most likely will want larger phones with bigger/better screens better cpus/gpus this is targeted to basic usage with some basic apps. They just need to cut about 20% of the phones length off of normal phones with modern form factors and they'd be pocket friendly.
