Any 5 inch phones left?

pickarooney

My Xiaomi 4X is on its way out and I'm looking for something similar to replace it, but I can't seem to find any 5 inch phones any more. Does nobody make anything under 6 inches or am I looking in the wrong places?

Damn, they have absolutely disappeared

Phone sizes have increased somewhat but screen sizes have grown. There are less bezel space on a lot of phones. So newer phones are not a massive size jump.

The 4X you have is 70.0 mm • 139.2 mm • 8.7 mm but the Mi A2 Lite is 71.7 mm • 149.3 mm • 8.8 mm - slightly wider but not huge.
Have a look on Kimovil or Devicespecifications.com and you can compare sizes etc.

Mi 9SE is a good shout, it's about 8.5mm bigger, but with a 6" screen (almost)

Good phone as well.

The Mi A2 looks decent but 32GB storage and no SD card slot is rubbish.

About 100 euros over my intended budget unfortunately.

I was just posting as an example of size comparison to recent phones. Its a 2018 phone anyway. Newer model out now.

What's your budget? You never mentioned one initially.

The Mi A2 comes in 64GB flavour as well, which should be a decent amount of space for most people

Sorry, you're right. I thought I had specified similar price range - around 150 euros.

This one seems like a pretty good option. Anyone with experience with the seller?

I don't think I care too much about the Android version tbh. I haven't noticed any useful improvement since KitKat

the change to android pie was a big one imo.

I think 5'inch phone are at the verge of extinction.

The Galaxy S5 is still an amazing phone. I have LineageOS 16 (Android Pie) running on it and it's sweet. Donedeal is full of S5's for sale.
