    does Samsung still try to keep people from flashing custom ROMs? Reason im on a Pixel 5 is the size and because I can run LineageOS.

      Pixel 8 is about the same size as the pixel 5 and S23/24 if flashing custom ROMs is important to you

        did not realize they made it taller but not wider, it would still be a problem for my tiny Trump hands to reach the top left when holding in my right hand, but it at least offers me a modern option.

          Android has an option where you swipe down on the navigation bar, and it brings the display down to the bottom half, idk if it’s enabled by default though, but it’s very useful. iPhones have the same thing as well

      yes they still do.

      Sony will at least give you the ability to flash your own rom. (Not in the u.s. because of our carrier bs)
