Ask HN: Which are the best small/compact smartphones?

Hey HN!

I’ve been happily using my Google Pixel 4a for a while now. I originally chose it because it was one of the smallest smartphones available, and I loved its compact size.

Now, I’m considering an upgrade but want to stick to a similar style—compact, pocket-friendly, and not oversized like most modern phones.

What small smartphones do you recommend in 2024? Bonus points for great performance and long-term software support!

Looking forward to your suggestions!
