Hi all! I’d like to replace my old S10e, which was my ideal phone format, with a middle range (inexpensive) phone, in that size if possible. Extra points for a decent fingerprint reader (I’d like to avoid in-screen ones if possible), and perhaps unlockable bootloader.
I’m currently on a Pixel fold 9, for the GrapheneOS part, and I’ve been keeping the s10e as my trusty work phone, keeping the work profile. Sadly the lack of android updates is now being noticed by the security team and they suggested i should move on soon. Since I already have a massive personal phone, I’d like to keep it small for the work one.
Probably the most direct equivalent would be one of the base Galaxy S phones, they are usually around 4 - 5 mm longer than the S10e. The older S24 still has 5 years of security updates left and you could probably pick a secondhand one up for quite a good price now. If you can wait until the end of the year/early next year, there is a proper small phone being released, the iKKO Mind One, although that may be too small for you.
