Galaxy S10e was the last Android smartphone, if it only wouldn't crack within first weeks I possessed it. Now only Android phablets exist.

I like "small" phones, Galaxy S10e is the second best android I ever had. First was Sony xperia X Compact, sadly a fall destroyed the screen and the repair was really too expensive and risky. So I bought a xz2 compact, a used one to save something, not the first second hand phone I bought, never had a problem. A bit bigger, but faster, and a total failure: screen suffered of ghost touches until it became unusable, after the purchase I discovered it was a known issue, of course seller blamed me. Last time I bought a used phone. BTW, S10e was the only smartphone not too big and it will be my last android, no more "small" android phones are made. Considering I'm also sick of Google (I'm already gradually switching to other services), when my S10e will stop to work I will switch to an iPhone SE.
I love my S10e but it's probably the last Android I own cause--to your point--everything else is just too big
I am going to make it last as long as I can get the battery replaced and lineage OS keeps pushing updates, after that I’m not sure. Maybe a fairphone that I would carry much less often.
I love my S10e too. And there is the new S22, which is just tad bigger, I think it could be a reasonable replacement.
