The only reason i don’t buy it is because it’s too big. Particularly for a phone i would commit to for a longer lifespan, the physical design needs to be without compromise, and i know that the moment someone releases a half-way decent mini Android phone, i will drop whatever phone i have and buy that instead.
I had a Zenfone 6. It got a whopping 1 software update. It is otherwise a very nice-looking phone but that is unacceptable. And to my knowledge they haven’t committed to anything more than that.

I fear you’ll be waiting a long time.
I fear that too. But so long as my current phone holds out, there’s no point buying into another compromise upfront.
So… The Asus Zenfone 10?
That’s the same size as an iPhone 15 or Galaxy S23, not “mini”.

We ever figure out if this can be unlocked? I know it was then it wasn’t, etc.
As far as I know it can.
I think Sony still releases decent small phones
The smallest I’ve seen was the Xperia 5 V, which is 6.1". Same as iPhone 15, S23, ZenFone and Pixel 8.
I already struggle with the keyboard on what I’d call a sizeable Android phone.
