I've seen a lot of people on the web being interested in acquiring a small size phone and/or a dumb phone and during my research I found about this Xiaomi subsidiary called QIN that have recently dropped what basically look like the best dumbphone "qin f22 (actually runs android unlike Nokia garbage dumbphones) " and the best small size phone (5 inches ) "qin 3" on the market.
I haven't bought any of the above since I can't currently afford any of them but I know quality when I see it, and I doubt a new company that only sell such niche products would want to destroy its image by sending bad products.
I am not affiliated in any way, just wanted to share the end result of my several days long search for a dumbphone to play java games again .
Not a dumbphone, but Unihertz makes some actually small phones - like ones that can fit completely in your palm. These things are great to have as a backup phone, or something you can take with you while you go out for a run or the gym.

Wow, even the soc specs are great. Tho the screen being 3 inches is way to small for my shitty eyes, but the otherwise they look like solid phones.
I am actually interested in the keyboard of the dumbphone to, as i said before, play java games the way they were designed to be played since touchscreen is garbage.
