My main issue with modern phones (aside from the lack of privacy obviously) is how big they are. I have an iPhone mini and I wish it was smaller. Are there any Linux (or privacy focused) phones that are small?

I just bought a fair phone and it's a tiny bit smaller than my last phone, which was a Motorola. So it works for me. My hands are big.
