I have enjoyed my Zenfone 10. It's a little Taiwanese phone that's a comparable size.

Specifically, I like its battery life, its camera, and that it has a headphone jack.

The Zenfone 10 is almost the same size as the regular iPhone (a tad bit narrower, a tad bit thicker, same weight). The form factor is not like the iPhone mini.

Compared to the iPhone 13 mini the Zenfone 10 is 15mm taller, 3.9mm wider, and 1.75mm deeper.

It's the same height as the regular iphone and the width is right in the middle. I understand that's quite small for a mobile device these days. Thanks for the rec.

Xperia XA2, Xperia X, Xperia 10, Xperia XZ2 Compact with Sailfish OS.

Regular S24. Yeah it's quite bigger, but still manageable.

What do you like about it? Size?

There aren't many small phones that aren't cheap and nasty. iPhone minis are small and premium which is rare. The android manufacturers really need to try harder. 6" is basically a tablet. It's really unnecessary for phones to be as big as they are today. UI designs have gotten more sparse and wasteful of screen real estate.

I feel that. I used to run Xperia Compacts, but I think Sony stopped making them. Currently have a Unihertz Jelly 2, and while I really like it, occasionally I'd come across an app that did not expect such a small screen.

Being affordable is an advantage, unless you want to put on the ritz with a premium locked iPhone. For example Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact is a nice affordable smartphone.

If you can afford the iPhone, how does it compare feature-wise?

Size, camera, performance, battery life.

I say this as a lifelong Android user......there's nothing that actually competes with iPhone 13 mini.

Xperia XZ2 Compact is almost the same size, has better camera (19MP vs 12MP), the same 4GB RAM + SD card which iPhone doesn't have: https://m.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=9082&idPhone2=1...

Depending on your carrier (not Verizon, not Sprint).

I have looked. If you look for a clean experience and not an OS that tracks your every breath and every shake, none. Absolutely none.

If you care about a sanely sized phone and not a phablet, then double absolutely none — as in there’s no option in Apple’s stable either. Been using my 14 for some 9 months after 12 mini and every time I look at this monstrosity I regret moving to iPhones because I kinda knew they’d stoop down to be like Androids eventually.

Anyway, so no option really. Again, I have looked.

Did you mean to replace 13 mini without any such criteria I have mentioned above? Well, then go to any phone listing site or Amazon and filter Android devices based on cost and features and just buy the one that fits the bill. Because you didn’t say anything else.

You haven't looked at Xperia XA2/X/XZ2/XZ3/10 on Sailfish OS, have you?

And do what with it? Use it to make campaign videos so that my bank will allow it or make apps for it? Or my stock broker? Or the pharmacy app? Or the delivery app? Oh, or maybe I should apply for a visa so that I can travel to somewhere where that is sold? Yeah, makes sense.

All my banks are accessible through Angelfish web browser. If you need Android apps, Sailfish OS supports them. Or else install AOSP.

We live in XXI century, there is something like Internet, you don't have to travel in order to buy a phone, see e.g. eBay.

Indeed 21st century. That’s why I wish you luck in getting out of that sheltered bubble whatever and wherever it is.

Straight to big corp. data harvesting industry? No, thanks. I prefer more privacy in my shelter and I recommend it to you too.
