again, this why i claim that lemmy is not the solution to the problem we are trying to solve.

you should be able to install a custom ROM that allows you to have notification bar on bottom so that you can swipe up.

sorry man i guess people will just never learn how the voting system works (i upvoted you). i obviously understand some people like big phones, phablets, if you will. and that’s fine. i still use my phablet for media and stuff.

but the big phone manufacturers don’t realize there’s a market for this and they completely neglect that. or rather, they know that there’s a market for it but they know it won’t make them enough profit so they stick with the mainstream, which is a huge shame. i’m sure that there are engineers working at google, samsung, etc. who would love to work on smaller phones, phones with other unique hardware such as trackballs, but aren’t able to because of “turn everything into money” mindset.

they did it out of spite, to get you to stop ordering groceries from the internet, lol

unihertz jelly 2. unihertz also some other small phones. also has a headphone jack, fm radio, wrist strap, customizable LED, programmable hardware button.
