Check Out XDA on Social Media.

Going from 6.3 to 6.2 inch isn't really a small form factor.

god I miss the days when Samsung's 5.3" galaxy note was considered unreasonably huge, and the iphone 4/4s were considered an acceptable standard size. now every phonr has to be as big as a fucking tablet and require pockets deeper than elon musk to carry.

I hope one day they can get back to the Google Pixel 5's 5.9 inch display. It fits perfectly for me 😭 I'm reluctant to upgrade until they do come up with something better and the same size

We want a legit smaller Pixel! Why can't they bring back the Pixel 3 size?? Thin and small. My workmates are amazed at how small my phone is compared to theirs. Nowadays, people are carrying chopping board sized phones more than a handy phone. 😵‍💫

damn Google, why no company making 5.8 inch display anymore, it perfectly fit and feel good on the hand. I always wondering a pixel phone with 5.8 inches display and cymetrical bezel just like s23

Looking forward to seeing what Google come out with the 7a :-)

Hope to see a slightly bigger battery tho, battery life is always more important for me than slightly better performance

The Galaxy S23 with 6.1 inches is perfect

This is a MASSIVE phone!!

Normal sized would be Zenfone 9, Galaxy S23, iPhone 14 which are all assist identical in size.

Small would be like the iPhone mini. I would like to just see a normal sized pixel device, these are massive phones which I do not want to be carrying around.

The only thint i don't like about pixels is their sharp edges on the phone, if it's more rounded as it is in this leak then i will buy it for sure

[Alikk]

i hope small phones become the norm. I was devasted when i heard apple was discontinuing the mini lineup

[sanjamjeetsingh]

People forget that its not just os updates, Android 5 rn runs most major apps on latest Play Store update. Basically it is 7 years OS + 9 years of app support going till 2039 possibly. Isn't that crazy?

Hopefully the smaller pixel 8 design wont compromise on the already less than optimal cooling

[GTTMRC]

I honestly don't understand all this "big bezels" thing...I mean, there's so much more important stuff in a phone than fucking bezels

[davidfeiter]

bro i need a phone with like 5.5“ please why do all those companies just release phones that don’t even fit in my pockets anymore

[OrganicFoxes]

what they need is to bring back the size of the pixel 4, i switched to an iphone as a day one pixel owner ever since the pixel 6. my hands are way to small for these new pixels 😭😭😭😭😭

[chandrasekhar]

I am happy with 6a, just the right size for me. Only want better battery, hope they improve on that.

[Lost_soul_]

I'm planning on getting it after a year or so from it's release when it gets cheaper going from note 10 plus to this would be heaven for my hand

[thatguy]

A chin that small isn't worth complaining about

I've loved the Pixel 8. It's been flawless. Not a single issue. Battery life has improved and get at least 6 hrs sot. Great camera and overall a great experience.
