They actually are starting to come back, e.g. the Xiamo QIN 3 Ultra. The QIN phones also have unlocked bootloaders and you can flash Lineage with Google Play if you need it.

I keep my 4a around as a backup, but the Pixel 8 has actually been really nice. A mm or two less width and 1cm less height would be better though.

As I started reading this, I nodded in agreement and was going to suggest picking up a used Pixel 4a (my phone) until I read the rest of your comment :-) I also agree that it's already a little big. I remember the memes when the iPhone 5 came out, about how big it was compared to the iPhone 4. Those are considered incredibly tiny right now. There used to be one scenario where I loved the larger size of my 4a, which was when using it as a GPS in my car, but I recently bought a car that has Android Auto, so a tiny phone would be perfect now.

iPhone SE 3 is significantly smaller than a Pixel 4a and newer.

Sadly, rumors are the SE4 is going to be yet another 6” phone.

That’s why I’m sticking with the excellent iPhone 13 Mini
