Pebble Founder Wants You to Help Bring Compact Smartphones Back into Fashion

In recent years, we have seen a fairly accelerated trend in the size of smartphone screens. And that’s what today the flagship of any of the companies easily reaches 6.8 inchesthough fortunately it seems to have stabilized as a standard within a few years.

Although thanks to the reduction of frames and new technologies, these same very reduced bodies, still too big for some peoplewho would prefer the best frontal use while maintaining the dimensions of devices from years ago.

This is the case of Eric Migikowski, known as the founder of Pebble, the first smartwatch and the largest Kickstarter project ever. And this is what Eric seems to be tired of such big smartphones, and He wants the ones we’ve been waiting for years to come back.

Migikovsky tells us that despite being a fairly large man, due to his height and hand size, never stopped using a big smartphone, missing, for example, is the famous Sony Xperia Compact series, which has been brutal at the moment.

I want a small Android phone 🤖 but no manufacturer seems to have the guts to make one. The only way to change this is if we work together. I wrote a manifesto/ode to small phones. If you want a small Android smartphone too, check it out! https://t.co/w1enITjlux

Among the factors behind their preference for more discreet smartphones are they fit better in pockets, they are lighter, they can be used with one hand and that, due to their size, they don’t fall out of your pockets when you’re cycling.

That’s why he created a page that asks users to leave their signature, because.Try to put pressure on some big companies in the market so that they try to launch at least one model similar to what the iPhone Mini offers, but with Android.

He tells us that the smartphone of his dreams will be one with screens no larger than 6 inches, with an iPhone 13 Mini-sized body, top-notch cameras, and pure Android. With this he would be the happiest man in the worldand not the only one.

Eric tells us that had to go back to using the iPhonesomething that hasn’t happened since the first iPhone, because there is no Android smartphone company that offers a flagship device with a screen size of less than 6 inches..

But he’s aware that Apple could shut down the Mini line after seeing they aren’t selling as much as they’d like, which is still a reasonable number for any smartphone from any company. sales of 10 million units per year.

For my part, I would like to see a smartphone similar to the Nexus 5, which I remember very well, perhaps 6 inches and with a HUAWEI 40 Pro body. That would be ideal, which is why I also personally signed this Manifesto by Eric Migikowski.
