I actually did like the Pixel 4 (pay me). It was the last phone I had that fit in my palm which I could still tap everywhere with my thumb without shifting. It was the perfect size. Even the non-"pro" models are so damn big now. I don't need a mobile movie theater or gaming rig, I just want something that fits in my pocket that I can whip out a text on or check something on Google real quick. Why is that such a foreign idea now?

The only thing I didn't like about it was no fingerprint sensor. It was the in between model after they went away from capacitive sensors on the back and before in screen fingerprint readers. So it only worked on face unlock, which was a little shaky at the time but good enough. But wouldn't you know, we had a global pandemic as soon as I bought it, so I had a mask on when I was out and had to PIN unlock every single time.

But I would absolutely deal with all of that again just to have a reasonably sized phone. And it was orange. Orange!
