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?

Problem for Linux on phones is ARM limitations require a unique device tree for every OS deployed per device.

When I retire to Asia next year I'm considering just getting one of those simple feature phones sold in India which has Firefox OS. Limit myself to Vox/SMS/Email.

I'm showing my age but I fondly remember those lipstick case Nokia's from back in the day. Couldn't get much smaller than that.
