Recommendations for Powerful Small Android Phones?

I'm looking to have a "powerful one-handed android phone", but alas all my research is showing it doesn't exist. Was wondering if anyone has found otherwise?

I'm coming from a Note10+ and god my hands and pockets always find it way too uncomfortable, but the 45W Fast charging, gaming perf is just too good.

S22 twinkled as a possibility but I saw its battery drains fast with games (and the 25W charging) put me off, unsure if I'm being too worried tho.

Would love any thoughts!

    Depends on the size of your hands. If you're like Donald Trump, no androids will be "one-handed ".

    • "I have the biggest hands" 🙌 hahaha, looking for 6.1" or smaller

    45 watt charging isn't all it's cracked up to be because it'll start at 45 watts and quickly scale back down. You're not getting anywhere near double the charging speed in reality (it'll be the same with the Note 10 - https://www.inviolabs.com/blogs/news/samsung-galaxy-note-10-…)

    Make sure you go into a store and try out the phone before using to make sure it fits in your hand. And supposedly the S22 battery got better after release with patches and disabling Bixby's location access.

    • Woah…. I had no idea, that's really helpful! thank you!

    I'm pretty happy with my S22. Haven't noticed any battery issues, then again I'm not a heavy user

    Are you asking for a small phone?? Because this is the weirdest way to ask I've ever seen

    What will you be doing with your other hand? 🤔

    Zenfone 9 (Aus version only just released at JB). Could get 10% off tonight with the code.

    I'm leaning towards buying the 16GB/256GB global version on eBay now though, JB not selling it.

    • Saw it and was tempted until I realised there wasn't wireless charging

  • I use a Xiaomi Mi Max 3 one handed. My wife's Pixel 5 is like a kids phone in comparison. Maybe something like that would suit you?

  • Poco F3

  • Does it need to be Android? iPhone 13 mini?

    • yea needs to be android, legit can't/won't/never wanna get into the apple ecosystem
